Dear Prof Lederberg:

The purposes of this Journal are outlined in the attached
preliminary announcement.

The Institute was formed last month as a non-profit corp-
oration and as a legal entity for the Journal. Its incorp-
orators, for reasons of convenience, are all from the Bay

Area, and include: S TD Anderson, MD, of San Rafael; Judge
DR Baty of San Rafael; Henry Breitrose of Stanford University;
R G Hannah, MD, of Berkeley; and myself.

We are in the process of forming an Advisory Board of some ten
eminent minds, here and abroads not af sinecurists, but of
individuals who will discuss, through correspondence, subject-
matter for the Journal, and who will suggest writers. The
Advisory Board will consist of men of science and men of letters.

My friend Aldous Huxley and I have talked for more than a year
quite casually, of the need for such a Journal; and sore thing 4s
now being attempted. Huxley agreed, by letter several days ago,
to join this Board of Advisors with 'great pleasure.'

The purpose of this letter is to invite you to join this Board

of Advisors. Breitrose has spoken so very highly of your LI
Whyte, during a day and evening we had spent in conversation,

had urged me to come to Stanford to meet you. What I have heard

of your thoughts about your work indicate an enormously stimul-
ating mind. As a Nobel Laureate, I can imagine that many requests
are made for your times; nevertheless, I urge you to join this Board.

Others invited include Prof Martin Buber, P MS Blackett, C P Snow,
Charles Davy, Halldor Laxness, Sisir Kumar Ghose, P Flor-Henry,
R 0 Whipple, Gunnar Jahn, Jonas Salk, Wm 0 Douglas.

I would appreciate your comments on the enclosed statement.

Sincerely yours,
