Dear Dr. Lederberg,

I have now held some discussions with our tropical
advsfors about the proposal which developed during our lunch
time conversation last November. Our advisors take the view
that it would be a very useful idea to promote some fellowships
for interchange between the United States and Britain in the
field of parasitology. They felt, however, that it would be
unduly restricting if these fellowships were limited to one
institution in the United States. They said this particularly
because they were aware of the excellent work going on at other
centres and also of the pressure of{ space at the Rockefeller.

We will, therefore, be examining this proposal more fully with
these points in mind.

I should be glad to know whether a less uniquely
related fellowship would effect your views on the establishment
of this type of award.

c

Yours sincerely,

I WiA-A—

Professor Joshua Lederberg, Phd
President,
