  10 June 1958

  President Lee A. DuBridge

  California Institute of Technology

  Pasadena, California

  Dear President DuBridge:

  Last year and again last month I discussed with you the possibility of my ceasing to serve as Chairman of the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering and Director of the Gates and Crellin Laboratories of the California Institute of Technology, and devoting my time to my duties as Professor of Chemistry in the California Institute of Technology, without the general administrative duties of the Division. I feel that, after having served as Chairman of the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering for 21 years, I should like to turn this job over to someone else, and thus be enabled to devote the equivalent amount of time and effort, during my remaining years as Professor of Chemistry in the California Institute of Technology, to research and teaching.

  I hope that you will be able to relieve me of these administrative duties on 30 June 1958. I wish to repeat, however, that I am willing to continue to serve as Chairman of the Division for a longer time, in case that it is not convenient to make the change now.

  Let me take this opportunity to express again to you and to the Board of Trustees my deep feeling of appreciation of the privilege that I have had in the past and continue to have to carry on scientific work in the California Institute of Technology. I have said many times that in my opinion there is no place in the world where scientific work can be carried out under better circumstances than in the California Institute of Technology. I am happy to have been a member of the staff of the California Institute of Technology for 36 years, and I expect to be happy in continuing for another decade.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:w
