Dear Dr. Tresidder,

I was very happy to receive your letter to "Alumni in Military Service." It is rather nice to know what is going on at the "Farm." I still recieve a copy of "The Stanford Alumnus," and that keeps me up on most of the school activities.

Your letter contained several questions, the answers to which I would like to answer here. First of all, I do hope to return to Stanford after the war, and I plan on going ahead with my Pre-med course. I have had an opportunity to complete most of my pre-med work in the Navy V-12 unit at U.C.L.A. however there are one or two courses I will have to complete before applying for med. school.

There is one thing that does worry me though, and from all the discussion I have heard on the subject, I know it is a very important item for Stanford to consider. I am with the opinion of all the other Stanford men I have talked with recently that if there are no fraternities to go back to there will be only half a school to return to. I think that one of the major factors in any university is the fraternity and sorority
