DIVISION OF SOCIAL STUDIES January 21,1947

The Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists, Princeton

Dear Sirs:

  I have today received and read with interest your appeal for aid in the campaign of education in regard to atomic energy.  While my own small contribution will have to wait till the first of the month, I am writing now to ask whether it would be feasible for you to send us more copies of the very useful reprint of Dr. Einstein's and Dr. Gauss' articles for use in our freshman course in Social Studies this spring.   We make use of the Columbia University source-books in contemporary civilization,  and have just been lamenting that in their new edition,  issued this fall, they failed to include any material on the problems of atomic energy.  I should like to make these two articles reading for the students this spring,  especially since the majority of the class were not in college last year when we had a three-day institute focussed especially on atomic problems.   We have about 140 students in the six sections of the class.  If you can spare us copies, ten or a dozen would be adequate if we put them on reserve in the library; it would he more useful to have fifty or more so that the girls could use them together, and I hope that many would take them home to their parents  in many parts of the country.   But whatever number you feel justified in sending would be gratefully received,  and put to good use.

 Yours sincerely, 
   Eva Sanford, Associate Professor of History
