My dear Professor

Your letter has come
back to me today from Prest Arthur,
who has looked it over & on the
strength of it has moved the Bd
of Regents to act this ar: when
the Board is not in session and it
seems necessary to take immediate
action in filling either the chair of
Biology or that of Physics the Executive
Committee may act. Your name
however was not used.
