 Dear Dr. Page:.}
 As Lnicsted in the letter of 10 December to you from
 my secretary, the fourteen essays by your freshmen stndstlts
 were passed onto the people in my shop who have been
 following the subject of flying saucers. I also have gone
 trough some of them rather eursoeUy. We are not passing
 on comments on individual essayse but I would like to may that
 we have found the papers extremely interesting. Most of tbom
 reflect a solid intellectual attempt to evaluate the evidence and
 certainly do great credit to your group. The problem Itself
 apparently remains a very stimulating one and one that is
 especially suitable for exercising the rational power of minds

 In separating subjective views from objective reporting. It Is
 Interesting that with s: fresh and energetic group involved no
 essentially new substantiating positions emerged from the
 It was very good of you to pass these on to us. It has been
 stimulating to one people to see this harried problem viewed
 ag..la through now eyes. Kindest regards.
