Dear Dr. Lederberg:
The Bulletin invites you to attend its spring editorial conference.

We are organizing a small and very private meeting here at the Center
for Continuing Education, University of Chicago, May 16-18. Some
twenty scientists will be invited to meet and discuss with the Bulletin
staff and its editorial board the direction and subject matter of the
magazine for the coming year.

The Bulletin has grown to a paid circulation of 27,000 and it seems to

us imperative to share with a representative group of American scien-
tists some of the questions we have been asking ourselves: should the
magazine continue to expand its coverage; should the title be changed

to more accurately reflect the contents; what are the important issues,
political and scientific, that the magazine should be prepared to analyze.

Institute for Advanced Study These and many other questions concern us and we hope for your advice
