Dear Mr. Tressider:

Your letter came two or three days ago and ever since I have been [frowning?] answers and comments. This quality in graduates is apparently nothing new; I can remember faculty men compaining about that kind of interference when I was at Stanford. However, my stuff is fine which is more than those same professors could say.

At the moment I do not intend to come back, although I have thought about it a good deal and have discussed the question in a general way many times. The opportunity is well worth considering and I might change my mind, yet it would be aimless to enroll without a purpose. I would up with a very unsuccessful college career due to a bad choice of a major subject, an error that was not only expensive but which left me with nothing accomplished. There is but one person to blame - I do not intend to go into something again without knowing what I am about. All this of course is within my own
