Stamp: RECEIVED May 16, 1945 PRESIDENT'S OFFICE

Sir,

I recently received a March letter from Stanford which mentioned a newly published bulletin "Educational Opportunities for Veterans." I'd very much like to acquire a copy of that, if possible.

[in pencil: sent 6-21-45]

I do hope to return to Stanford some day - just as soon as possible, in fact. I'll probably go right back to a barely started course in

engineering. I don't know exactly what pre war Stanford was like, because when I went there things were already pretty feverish. Therefore, I'm not in a position to make any suggestion as to changes in the pre war program. I am interested, however, in the possibility of finishing a complete engineering course in a somewhat shorter time than was considered normal in pre war years. That would mean the relaxing of some requirements. Though I think the school was tending to go overboard on that sort of thing for a while, there

ought to be some larger measure of freedom of choice for older students. And I think I'm liable to be considerably older before I get any chance to be a student once more.

Sincerely John Sheahan
