Atechments

Enclosed are materials accummulated for the study of "fads and fashions"
in science. I have attached letters received as well as portions of
reprints which had a few lines or a paragraph on the subject. There was,
as you can see, a paucity on material. A larger, associated topic on
the relationship of scientific growth and epochal changes has a large
literature, and I am certain you have read the most important works
gince you have an abiding interest in the relationship of the two.

I am also including what a wrote on the subject. All of this was written
during December and January, but not actually typed until recently. It's
all right, and it was my intention to send it to you with the material, just
so you would have it on file. I do think that contacting Diana Crane at
this point in time would produce more things. She did not answer my inquiry

written last summer.

I hope these things will prove to be useful.
