Connsctici3 Dear Dr. Page:.} As Lnicsted in the letter of 10 December to you from my secretary, the fourteen essays by your freshmen stndstlts were passed onto the people in my shop who have been following the subject of flying saucers. I also have gone trough some of them rather eursoeUy. We are not passing on comments on individual essayse but I would like to may that we have found the papers extremely interesting. Most of tbom reflect a solid intellectual attempt to evaluate the evidence and certainly do great credit to your group. The problem Itself apparently remains a very stimulating one and one that is especially suitable for exercising the rational power of minds be young and old. Most of the students have done a good job In separating subjective views from objective reporting. It Is Interesting that with s: fresh and energetic group involved no essentially new substantiating positions emerged from the It was very good of you to pass these on to us. It has been stimulating to one people to see this harried problem viewed ag..la through now eyes. Kindest regards. Enclosnree _ ~' ~~_ 14 Essays (w/orig only) .
