Dear Mr. Sherburne:

Have you attempted any systematic follow up on the careers
of Westinghouse Science Search finalists?

I would be particularly interested in comparisons of the
first place winners with the runners-up.

If such a study has not been made, but you do have (up-

dated) names of the cohorts -- say up to 1965, I can arrange a
bio- and biblio-graphic survey. Please provide whatever identi-
fying information -- or pointer to a directory like AMWS -- that

you can properly offer that might help in verifying items from
the literature (dates, schools and universities attended, field
of interest).

Yours sincer
