HARVARD UNIVERSITY
SOCIETY OF FELLOWS

WIDENER 98
CAMBRIDGE 38, MASSACHUSETTS

November 7, 1957

Dear Sir:

The Senior Fellows of the Society of Fellows will hold
elections for Junior Fellowships early in 1958. I enclose
the small leaflet which sets forth the scope and purpose of
these fellowships.

The Society has always sought to get the best possible
young men regardless of their fields and has sought to avoid
any rigid formula in governing its choice. We do, however,
feel that these prize fellowships are especially useful for
able young scholars who plan work involving several fields
usually kept somewhat apart in orthodox graduate instruction.

Of recent years the Society has taken fewer candidates
direct from senior classes in college, and has preferred can-
didates who have completed most of their routine training for
advanced work. From colleges not giving graduate degrees
recommendations of alumni now doing distinguished graduate
work elsewhere would be particularly welcome.

Will you be good enough to send me, if possible before
January 15, any nominations and suggestions you may care to ;
make? Kindly address your communication to me to 98 Widener
Library, Cambridge 38, Mass.

It would be helpful if you would include the names and
addresses of two or three other persons to whom your candi-
date is well known, or if you would ask such persons to write
me directly on his behalf. Please include also the address
of your nominee.

Sincerely yours,
