There's also:
 
"This is to 
replace Dr Maria Lasonen-Aarnio, who is leaving her  Fitzjames Fellowship 
at Merton College to take up a position as an Assistant  Professor of 
Philosophy at the University of Michigan."
 
Mind: I love Wedgewood.
 
But I think that's confiential stuff.
 
What about:
 
"This is to replace G. P. Baker, who died"
 
--- Baker was philosophy tutor at St. John's.
 
He got the post after Grice left:
 
"This is to replace Grice who Americanised his-self".
 
--- Baker recalls that he was reluctanty accepted at Oxford: He did not  
have Greek!
 
--- Etc.
 
"This is to replace my mother".
 
"This is to replace".
 
We have become discarded and discardable items. Surely a Mertonian is not  
JUST to replace Maria, who, for all the truth may be, may have gotten bored 
to  tears about logic, etc.
 
Fitzwilliam Michigan =/= Merton, etc. 
 
Oddly, Grice belonged to Merton from March 1938 to April 1940. He was the  
first Harmonsworth Research Fellow, along with Steve Watson, the historian 
of  George III, and brother of his (Grice's) future (and only) wife, etc.
