• Letter from Dr. W. H. Eberhardt, Department of Chemistry, Georgia Tech, to LP RE: Thanks LP for recommending him to the University of New Mexico. Mentions that Georgia Tech recently went from a “School” to an “Institute” and the chemical engineering program recently added a doctoral program. Adds that the chemistry department should also add one soon, but that may be influenced by campus politics. Updates LP on his situation there, stating he is now the Vice-President of the Sigma Xi Club and Program Chairman, as well as working 60 hrs a week teaching and supervising three master's students and six seniors.
