Many of the young men with whom I am
in contact with, had to leave in the middle
of college, many had neglected their
education but now want to do
something about it. They need guidance
and encouragement. The government
will pay for their education but many
will pass up the opportunity unless the
proper guidance and encouragement
is given.

Your letter tells me that Stanford
is working towards that goal. Many of
the men have been away from school
for quite a while but if they feel that
the colleges and universities really want
them back and the courses are attractive,
education will become the popular
part of the veteran's post war
program.
