Dear Josh, Jf

As you have already learned, C.B. van Niel died March
10, 1985. Since he was one of the outstanding microbiologists
of his generation and was a brilliant teacher who taught and
inspired a generation of students, we feel it is appropriate
to establish an annual C.B. van Niel Memorial Lecture at the
Hopkins Marine Station in his memory. In this way van Niel's
name will be permanently associated with an institution and
with the field to which he contributed so richly. Our goal
is to raise funds to endow these Memorial Lectures.

Donations are tax exempt and checks should be made out
to "Stanford University, C.B. van Niel Memorial Fund", and be
sent to the C.B. van Niel Memorial Fund, Hopkins Marine
Station, Pacific Grove, CA 93950.
