OFFICE OF THE DEAN

June 2, 1980

To Members of the Faculty:

| have decided to accept the position of Executive Vice President of
The Upjohn Company as of October 1, 1980. | leave not because of dif-
ferences or disappointments with Cornell, but because of the uniquely
challenging prospects for this new position.

To have been able to serve as your Dean has been a privilege, an
experience and a reassurance. Deficiencies and differences not with-
standing, Cornell is that kind of institution with which one cannot be
associated and not emerge stronger and wiser. To have been part of this
faculty is to be a part of it always.

The future seems difficult for all of medicine and science. | hope
that you will let me help with solving the problems of Cornell from a new
role. .

Thank you for your support and your help. | hope | shall be able to
reflect well on that confidence.

Sincerely,

Kota Drotin

L Theodore Cooper, M.D.,Ph.D.
Dean, Cornell University Medical College and
Provost for Medical Affairs, Cornell University
