  OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT

  October 15, 1931

  Professor Linus Pauling

  University of California

  Pasadena, California

  Dear Professor Pauling:

  I am glad to say that our Executive Committee yesterday formally authorized your appointment as Visiting Lecturer in the Departments of Physics and Chemistry for April and May 1952, at a salary of $1500 plus an allowance of $300 for traveling expenses.

  I understand from Professor Slater that this is in accordance with the correspondence which he has had with you. May I take this opportunity of expressing my own personal pleasure at this arrangement and our hope that you will find the visit here pleasant and professionally interesting. As you know, we plan to have the formal opening of our new Physics-Chemistry Laboratory sometime in April or May, with Professor Debye also here, and with a gathering of former distinguished members of our Physics and Chemistry Departments.

  Mrs. Compton joins me in sending greetings to Mrs. Pauling. We are hoping of course that she may accompany you. With kindest regards, I remain,

  Very cordially

  Karl T Compton

  October 15, 1931

  Professor Arthur B. Lamb,

  Laboratory of Chemistry,

  Harvard University,

  Cambridge, Mass.

  Dear Professor Lamb:

  I have read with interest the three papers by Mack and others. I recommend that the first paper be rather thoroughly rewritten, inasmuch as an incorrect value for the size of the crystal unit of methane has been used, and much of the discussion is in consequence incorrect or unnecessary. Possibly on rewriting this paper it could be shortened and incorporated with the promised paper on aromatic compounds. Detailed comments on the paper are given on the accompanying sheet.

  I recommend the publication of the second and third papers.

  May I request that my identity as a reviewer be not kept secret.

  Very truly yours,

  Linus Pauling
