Dear Phil:
I am pleased to think about the problem of selecting a chairman of the Chemistry Department at Rutgers, and to make a suggestion to you.
I think that Professor Charles D. Coryell, who for a number of years has been in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, would be a fine man for the job. He worked with me for a number of years, in the thirties. He is an inorganic chemist, physical chemist, and nuclear chemist. He is an authority on fission products, as well as on magnetic properties of substances, structural inorganic chemistry, hemoglobin, compounds of silver, and other subjects. He is full of energy and full of ideas. He has strong opinions about teaching and research, and I think would do an excellent job in increasing the quality and quantity of your graduate and postgraduate research programs, mentioned in your letter.
With best regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
[Linus Pauling]
