Dr. R. A. Millikan
Linus Pauling
Wawra
Dear Professor Millikan:
I return herewith your correspondence with Mr. Wawra.
I do not think that you should try to smooth over his feelings. There is no reason for his feelings to have been hurt by my letter; I am afraid that he has several wrong ideas about how things are done.
He is, of course, wrong in saying that I have shown personal animosity toward him. I extended to him the same interest end friendliness as to other young students. Moreover, he is, I judge, wrong in thinking that his obtaining the Ph.D. degree at the California Institute of Technology depends on friendship between himself and "influential members of the Institute", rather than upon doing the work for which the degree is given.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling
