Memorandum for the files:
Leonard *W. Wing
I called on Dean Fred of the Graduate School this morning
to ascertain the exact meaning of his letter of September 20 to
Mr. Wing.
Dr. Fred explained to me that the letter is a fonn letter
and that it is within my discretion as to whether Mr. Wing takes his
course work during the first semester or at some later time. It
would be satisfactory to Dr. Fred if the first semester were devoted
to languages, which can be studied while absent in the field. Dr.
Fred understands personally that since this project deals with the
cycle and since we are right now in the midst of a mortality period,
that Mr. Wing will have to be in the field rather than attending
classes during the present semester.
I also called on Miss Vick and Dean Baldwin and they also
assured me that non-resident tuition would not apply in this case,
since Mr. Wing is carried on donated funds,accepted by the Regents,
and aggregating in excess of $250 per year.
