Letter link: Letter from Allen Mawer to Electors to the Rawlinson and Bosworth Professorship of Anglo-Saxon • 25 June 1925 (#1710)


elect one three applicants (Tolkien, Sisam, and one other who has remained unnamed) to the vacated chair.

we actually know who this "one other" unnamed person is, now: In https://fellowshipoffans.com/news/j-r-r-tolkien-professor-of-anglo-saxon/ one of our Fellowship of Fans writers gives the details about one Samuel John Crawford, listing some publications (ignore the false positive about the civil war) and other details.
