Professor E. C. Watson, Chairman

Faculty Board and Curriculum Committee

California Institute

Dear Professor Watson:

The Graduate Committee on Post-War Policies, at its meeting of October 11, 1944, approved unanimously the following recommendation to the Faculty Board and Curriculum Committees

In accordance with the policy of the California Institute of Technology of carrying on work only in a few selected fields of science and engineering, in order that this work may be of the highest quality, and in view of the fact that the subject of industrial design is essentially descriptive rather than quantitative, and applied rather than fundamental, and is not closely related to the fields of science and engineering now being prosecuted at the Institute, it is recommended that work in industrial design be not carried on at the California Institute of Technology after the end of the period to which the Institute is committed.

Very truly yours,

Linus Pauling

Chairman
