Letter from Robert Huke, Dartmouth College, to Robert Oppenheimer, Princeton University, 23 February 1959
Letter from Robert Huke, Dartmouth College, to Robert Oppenheimer, Princeton University, describing publicity, the size of the lecture hall, and inviting Oppenheimer's wife to accompany him.
February 23, 1959
Dear Dr. Oppenheimer:
I thought you might be interested in seeing the cards that we
have prepared as publicity for your lecture. These are mailed
out to non college people in the area and are circulated to every-
one associated with Dartmouth. As you see the public is invited
and no admission is charged. The hall in which you will be speak-
ing seats 1308 people. We apologize for the small size but it is
the best we have available on campus.
May I urge you to have your wife accompany you to Hanover. I feel
certain that she would enjoy the north country and would find Hanover
a very interesting place.
Sincerely yours,
Robert E. Huke,
Chairman
