Dear Dr. Lederberg:

I have been asked by our Committee on Curriculum to
investigate the possibility of inaugurating an intro-
ductory course in human genetics at this institution, I
would greatly appreciate a brief statement from you as to
the scope of the course as taught at Wisconsin including
the number and subjects of lecture material.

This interest on the part of our faculty arises
from the Symposium on Genetics at Madison this spring
and I hope I shall be able to convince the Executive
Faculty as to our need for standardizing the material we
present in genetics.

.\
Very sincerely yours,
? j :
