Letters Sent to Dr. Herman Schlundt, October 20, 1928

October 20th, 1928. Dr. Herman Schlundt, University of Missouri, Columbia, Mo. Dear Dr. Schlundt: Dr. Flinn and I discussed in detail the paper yesterday, and I am herewith giving you our suggestions, which you, of course, are at liberty to exercise in executing. There is one point, however, which we prefer not to extend this privilege of exercising your judgment in, and that is the order of the authord. We both feel that your name should appear first, for the following reasons: First, you have contrib- uted a large amount of your time to this problem, secondly, Dr. Flinn and I both feel that the paper would not be as well prepared as it is had the task fallen to us, and thiddly, due to the nature of the paper we feel that it will carry a groat deal more prestige were your name to occur first, as after all this is quite a technical treatise from the radio-active standpoint of the problem at hand, and inasmuch as you are well known in this field it is obvious that your name should appear first. We wish in submitting the paper that you would consider the suggestions given below: While the outline as given on page 3 of the report serves a purpose which we appreciate, still it is our opinion that this part could be well eliminated, as after all each individual subject discussed carries a heading. I don't know as there is a great deal gained by read- ing the outline, except a genoral idea of what is to be presented - on the other hand the paper is so full of valuable data and theoretical discussion that anyone that has occasion to look the subject up at all will be sufficiently interested to read it in detail. However, if you elect to retain the outline, part 2 should be included as a part of said outline - further we would suggest that #b" under 2 be eliminated and 3 completely eliminated. If the outline is omitted you could incorporate a sentence to the effedt of the one contained in your letter of October 15th, at the end of page 2, which would get across the ides that further work is to be reported. At the bottom of page 3, can we not alter the last two sentences to read as follows: Fand in the hands of an experienced man working under carefully controlled conditions 2 or 3 micrograms will give a positive test. Page 4, line 5, we suggest adding the following Blause: "near to the middle of the back of the subject thus assuring close proximity to the bone nass before - a
