- Letter from Dr. G.W. Beadle, Chairman, Division of Biology, Caltech, to Committee of the AAAS on the Theobald Smith Award, American Association for the Advancement of Science, RE: Pleased to support LP's nomination of Dr. Harvey Itano for the Theobald Smith Award. Although Itano did his work in the Division of Chemistry, he was well known in Biology both professionally and personally. Itano demonstrated originality and imagination in his hypothesis to account for the observed variations in proportions of normal and abnormal hemoglobins in persons with sickle cell trait. Many of the biologists at Caltech would like to see Itano return as a permanent member of the faculty.

- Letter from LP to Dr. Kenneth S. Pitzer, College of Chemistry, University of California, Berkeley, RE: Could stay at Berkeley for two weeks in January and one week in February.

[Letters from Pitzer to LP June 13, 1955, August 11, 1955] [Filed under LP Speeches: 1956s.3]
- Letter from LP to Martin B. Williams, RE: The Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering offers several Graduate Teaching Assistantships. Describes the details of these positions. The division requires three years of residence to obtain a Ph.D. after a bachelor's degree, but it has turned out that men with master's degrees have also had to spend three years because the Division's emphasis is somewhat different from that of other universities. Very little work in business administration is offered at Caltech. Suggests that Williams attend some other school, such as Purdue or a mid-western state university. [Letter from Williams to LP July 29, 1955] [Filed under LP Correspondence: (W: Correspondence, 1953-1959), #444.3]

The book will be published by Princeton University Press, which represents the lectures that LP delivered at Princeton last fall. The book will probably be published in about one year. [Letter from Tietz to LP June 10, 1955] [Filed under LP Correspondence: (T: Correspondence, 1936-1955), #410.20]
- Letter from LP to Richard Wistar, Jr., President, Channing Club, Pomona College, RE: If Wistar's club is a small one and the meeting will be informal, such that LP would not be required to prepare a lecture, then LP is sure that he could accept. Requests more information, such as when they would like to have the talk. The second part of November would work best for LP. [Letters from Wistar, Jr. to LP July 30, 1955, November 25, 1955] [Filed under LP Speeches: 1955s.26]
