Sometimes one has to say difficult things, but one ought to say them as simply as one knows how.

‘Bertrand Russell & Trinity: A college controversy of the last war’ is a pamphlet written by G.H. Hardy in 1942, giving an account of the dismissal of Russell from his Trinity College lectureship in 1916 following his criminal conviction for anti-war political activity. (Hardy was at the time a fellow of Trinity and opposed Russell's ouster.)
Since there was no downloadable ebook, I made a re-typeset version, which I have just updated: https://archive.org/details/hardy_russellandtrinity
Creating this version was an exercise for me to learn how to (start to) adapt my LaTeX styles to the new interfaces created by the ongoing LaTeX tagging project [https://latex3.github.io/tagging-project/]. (A #TaggedPDF contains supplementary information to assist screen reading software, data extraction, etc.)
The updates are mostly behind-the-scenes source code changes, particularly to use the new template interfaces for sectioning. I have made the source available in case it is useful as an example to others: https://codeberg.org/ajcain/hardy_russellandtrinity

RE: https://mas.to/@magistau/116705746662851664
This fascinating post on the variation of Cyrillic between languages led me to realize that I had used Russian Cyrillic for the Bulgarian title of G.H. Hardy’s ‘A Mathematician’s Apology’ in the list of translations in my annotated edition [https://archive.org/details/hardy_annotated/page/81/mode/1up].
The font (Minion 3) has a stylistic set for Bulgarian Cyrillic, so it was straightforward to change it, although I did tweak one or two glyphs.
The new version is already on archive.org: https://archive.org/details/hardy_annotated/
(There are various other small typographical improvements, notably in the bibliography.)

Last week, we were over in the eastern side of the country and so I decided to drop in to #Cambridge. It’s not a big city and most places can be reached on foot. It’s also flat as a pancake and so easily traversed by bicycle although I didn’t have mine with on this occasion. There many famous colleges there, which form the university and arguably the most famous is #TrinityCollegeCambridge, which has had had many famous mathematicians such as #IsaacNewton, #GHHardy, and #BertrandRussell.
