Dear Dr. Lederberg,

The School Council has instructed me to invite
you to be our Heath Clark Lecturer for 1981. The Lectureship
carries the stipend of a professor of the University and
involves spending about 3 months here in the School partici-
pating in its activities in a manner to be discussed between
yourself and interested departments.

I enclose copies of our last Annual Report and
of our Syllabus so that you may understand the scope of our
activities.

During the 3 months the Lecturer is also expected
to give a public lecture or a short series of public lectures
on a subject of his choice within the definition: "History and
Progress of Preventive Medicine and Tropical Hygiene, with
special reference to the educational, cultural and humanistic
aspects of the subject as opposed to technical and manipulative
training" - which, I am sure you agree, is a very broad one:

I also enclose a copy of the Trust Deed, of the
amendments to it and of a list of former Heath Clark Lecturers
~ a distinguished one. I hope very much that you will be able
to accept this invitation and that, if so, you can give me an
early indication of possible dates when you might take it up.
These should be between October and April (inclusive).

I shall look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Joshua Lederberg,

President,

The Rockefeller University,
