@ MEDICAL COLLEGE OF GEORGIA EUGENE TALMADGE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL DEPARTMENT OF MEDICINE MUCUS TA, GEOnECI* April 6, 1961 Dr. Joshua Lederberg Stanford Medical Center Palo Alto, California. Dear Dr. Lederberg: This is a strange request which comes about as a result of Dr. Kornberg's visit with us. I told him that I was interested from the histori- cal standpoint in people who have made important research contributions during their student days. He put you at the head of his list ~ so I am emboldened to ask if you mind being referred to in an AOA lecture I must give soon at another school. If not, I would very much appreciate a small glossy print of yourself from which a lan- tern slide can be made as well as a little more specific information than I now possess regarding the contributions you made as a student. It is my understanding that you began the study of medicine but were side-tracked into chemistry because of them. I apologize for making a nuisance of myself but it is people like you and Kornberg who in - spire students, Sincerely yours, D0 Fly Thomas Findley Oe. Professor and irman 4 gl shee TF: pm
