Letter from Linus Pauling to Ralph Spitzer. February 16, 1949

Pauling writes that he is shocked to learn that Spitzer's contract will not be renewed again. He adds that he will do everything he can to get to the bottom of the matter but would like more information from Spitzer before writing to President Strand. Pauling discusses the different reasons that Oregon State College could have let Spitzer go legally, and inquires into the employment of Professor LaVallee and the position he offered to Spitzer on the Committee on Patent Legislation of the American Chemical Society.  View Transcript
