Eppie Lederer Chicago Sun-Times 401 North Wabash Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60611 Dear Eppie: As a research institute and graduate university, The Rockefeller University’ $ work is known only to an all too lin- ited, but select, group of individuals, even in our: immediate environs in New York City. To widen this circle, we hold an informal dinner evening from time to time with friends old and new. As a congenial occasion to introduce you to the University, I will be delighted if you can be with us on either Tuesday, March 31, Thursday, April 2, or Wednesday, June 3. Our small gatherings will begin with a reception at 6:00 p.m. in Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Hall. On each occasion, follow- ing dinner, one of my senior colleagues will join us to highlight aspects of his research which relate to major health concerns. There will be ample opportunity in this informal setting for mutual discussion and questions. I look forward to the possibility of your joining tis for an evening on campus this spring: Cordially, Joshua Lederberg be: Dr. Alexander G. Bearn Mr. Patrick J. Garvey Mr, Rodney W.
