SIR,—On the subject of `the somewhat surprising lack of official

reaction' to his disclosures about Mr. J. G. W. Davies, Pharos doubtless now knows that Mr. Davies has been elected to a Fellowship at St. John's. One's -disgust may presumably be tempered by the thought that the appointtnent was, possibly, decided on before the fuss started; but the announce- ment could hardly have been better timed.—Yours faithfully.
