Letter from Robert Huke, Dartmouth College, to Robert Oppenheimer, Princeton University, 29 October 1958
Letter from Robert Huke, Dartmouth College, to Robert Oppenheimer, Princeton University, confirming the details.
October 29,1958
Dear Mr. Oppenheimer:
I am indeed honored that you have been able to accept my invitation
to speak at Dartmouth College on Thursday, March 5. I hardly need
to say that your lecture will be one of the outstanding events of our
school year. Perhaps Mrs. Hodson has told you you will be in good
company as the Lecture Series has also scheduled such people as
Clement Atlee, Cmdr. Calvert of the USS Skate, and Charles E. Wilson
in addition to Professor Cressey who did an excellent job last week.
Your lecture will be scheduled for 8:30 p.m. and we shall plan a
dinner in your honor for 6 o'clock that same evening. The Lecture
Series Committee would like very much to plan a reception for you
either the afternoon of the lecture, the following afternoon or im-
mediately after your speech, whichever time best suits your already
busy schedule.
I have reserved a double room at the Hanover Inn in your name and
you may stay with us as many nights as you care to. If you plan to
bring more than one additional person please let me know so that I
may reserve more rooms.
I shall be in touch with you at some later date to make final ar-
rangements. If you would like assistance in planning transportation
or if I can help in any other way please do not hesitate to call.
Yours truly,
Robert E. Huke
Chairman
Dartmouth College Lecture Series
