Dear Sir,
I would like to answer with the information you requested in your letter to Stanford Alumni in the military service.
A year in the navy has not in the least detracted from my desire to return to Stanford as soon as possible after receiving a discharge - when? what I will be studying I don't know - mechanical engineering was my course, perhaps it will be law when I return.
As for housing accomodations I hope to live in the Beta house, assuming fraternities will maintain their pre-war status.
I can think of no changes I should like to see at Stanford, maybe that's the result of a year in the navy. But perhaps my reflections are common to all the men who leave school in the middle of the stream. That is, the way you feel when you discover how little of individual courses you retain, how much of the thing on which you place no emphasis at all you retain. It might be well to give students a little more preview on post graduate reactions

it should prove beneficial to know what to expect from four years of college.
At the present time I am stationed at Ward Island Corpus Christi in Aviation radio technician training awaiting duty assignment.
Sincerely Norman Schieber
