  President H. S. Rogers

  Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn

  99 Livingston Street

  Brooklyn 2, New York

  Dear President Rogers:

  It is not very often that I get to see you - or even that I have occasion to write to you. I am hoping that we shall meet again one of these days, in order that we can talk about old times.

  I am writing now to express my sincere appreciation of the decision that you have made about Professor Clarence F. Hiskey. I was dismayed to read in the eastern papers the charges, or rather allegations, that were made against Professor Hiskey by the Un-American Activities Committee, and then I was very encouraged to learn that you have taken the stand that the basic American principle that no man is to be considered guilty until he has been properly accused in a court of justice and found guilty is to be applied to Professor Hiskey also, and that the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn will not be influenced by slurs and sneers and unsupported charges.

  It is difficult for me to believe that your stand will not receive universal approval; but if you should ever have need for support, and if I could be of help to you, please let me know.

  With best personal regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Dictated by Linus Pauling but signed in his absence
