JAmES B. HUNT, JR.
——

GOVERNOR August 30, 1978

Professor Joshua Lederberg

Stanford University School of Medicine
Dept. of Genetics

Stanford, California 94395

Dear Professor Lederberg:

You are among those who have very cordially responded to Governor
Hunt's request for advice concerning the North Carolina School of Science
and Mathematics. He has since forwarded to you a booklet describing our
progress to date in establishing the School.

I write at this time to seek further counsel: Can you suggest one or
more individuals as candidates for the administrative head of this School?
The Board of Trustees, soon to be appointed, will decide who should hold this

position. I am simply preparing an initial list of outstanding candidates
for their consideration.

The Board will also determine the title for the chief administrator--
e.g. headmaster, superintendent, or some other term. Naturally, we are seeking
the most capable individual we can find. Demonstrated competence in science
and mathematics, breadth and depth of vision, diplomacy, leadership, adminis-
trative skill, and educational experience are among the qualifications we ©
consider important, in no particular order.

Your suggestions will be very much appreciated and, if convenient to do
so, please include a resume or other biographical information. Also, if you
have acquaintances who would like to make suggestions we would be very grateful.

With best personal regards.

Quentin W. Lindsey
Science and Public Policy Advisor
