1230 YORK AVENUE - NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10021

Dear Dr. Lederberg:

Mr. Nichols has told me of your conversation about opening up more
University events to our neighbors, and I must say Mr. Bayless and
I were delighted with the idea. As Rod may have told you, I
approached the sponsors of the following seminars who usually ask
that we indicate University Personnel Only:

Experimental Medicine and Pathology Discussion Group
Seminars in Investigative Endocrinology

Seminars in Investigative Medicine

Meeting of the New York Lipid Research Club

All liked this change and said that they would welcome a larger
audience,

Another point that occurs to me is that it might be helpful, in

opening the door to our neighbors as it were, to include my extension
at the foot of the Calendar for those who want more information. The
note in small type could read "For Calendar information call

360-1217". If I don't know the answer at least I would know the
sponsor and could refer callers to the proper party. A further thought,
if you approve, is that in the rare cases when there is any restriction
on attendance from now on, I'1l include in* the Calendar entry an
extension for the responsible office to call for information.

And finally, I am preparing a list for you showing the breakdown of our
off-Campus distribution for the Calendar by institution and for
individuals. I hope to have this to show you within the next few weeks.

We look forward to seeing you soon. The University flora will be in
full bloom in about ten days and I enclose a map to help you find your
way around.
