Dear Doc:

Just returned from the field house and
sending a wire to you. As 1 mentioned in the wire
Kistler decided that he could not afford to take
the drop but was rather reluctant at that because
as I have explained there are some things ih the
Situation here that do not look too good. While I
was over there I met Voltmer, whom I mentioned for
the situation last fall. Of course he is out of
our price range now. I talked with him at length
regarding Lapp and Wendler. I have a great deal
of faith in Voltmer and he was very outspoken re-
garding Lapp. He said that hehas often been ama-
zed at the ability of Lapp to’hold his own before
a critical audience.

Voltmer said that granting the fact that
one's first impression of Lapp may not be too good,
this is soon overcome by his outstanding intellect-
ual ability.

I have talked to several others since last
writing to you and the balance seems much in favor
of Lapp for his wearing ability and possibility of
development. It may seem to you that I have not at
times been consistent regarding my statements but I
have tried to keep you informed as to the best infor-
mation I could get. Voltmer settled one doubt in my
mind and that was as to Lapp's ability to carry on
before a group. He feels that this is one of his
strongest points.

While at the field house I also learned that
the failure of the Physical Eds office to turn in the

results of my qualifying exam.and my French exam. <be-
fore last Friday may cost me an extra summer here. Of

course it would not make a_great deal of difference to
Bi ty of ttowathars fob ubethtl matte reat deal of
ome if they cannot get it straightened out.
