Dear Doctor Tresidder
"Hello" to you, and to Stanford. It was a very pleasant surprise to hear from you - and to find out how Stanford is getting along these days.

As for the questions you places before me; i'll try to do my best to help you with your analysis of the servicemen point of view, concerning the post-war Stanford.

1. I hope to continue my education at Stanford, upon completion of the war; if at all possible.
2. I shall pursue my original course in aeronautical engineering.
3. As I am in the Air Force, and a pilot - my viewpoint on the changes that could be made in the course, are as follows:
(a.) Subjects not essential to the cause should be eliminated; although, could be made electives (I realize that all the subjects, in some way have a place in your education; but usually prolong the cause of study several years). The aeronautics course should be made 4 years, insead of 6 yrs; and include more practical work in the field.
(b.) As I have spent my entire military career training as a fighter pilot - I believe that my time in the service will benefit me, in the course of study; of the course is brought up to data, including the latest type of aircraft ect.
