(Sidney, Lord Passfield, 1859-1947, Social Reformer, Fabian)
Autograph Letter Signed to Capt Humberstone,
thanking him for his frank letter. It is perfectly true that I have done nothing to help you in building up the social life of the University. We cannot all do everything and I am not exactly disengaged! I am in fact, not good at the social side, and I belong to (literally) to no clubs whatever, partly from reasons of economy... agreeing to dine with him and to meet any members you may get together... I shall be glad to discuss Educational matters with you and others. It is not easy to get out definite programmes on such a subject..., 3 sides 8vo., 41 Grosvenor Road, Westminster Embankment, 20th November

Background
The recipient is almost certainly Thomas Lloyd HUMBERSTONE (1876-1957, Prominent Educationist and Writer on Education).
In the early twentieth century, Humberstone and Webb were closely involved in steering the University of London into the future. This is probably the institution that Webb has in mind when he refers to “the University”.
