November 7th,1930. Dr. Herman Schlundt, University of Missouri, Columbia, Mo. Dear Dr. Schlundt: I appreciate the position which you are in personally, as well as other members of the staff of your Department, with reference to publicity, and don't feel that any material harm will result from the notice carried by the press which I recently sent you copy of. We probably are a little over anxious with regards to publicity of any nature, due to the fact that we have had so much which has been unfavorable to us. Our attitude with regard to publicity in general is that the less of it we have, regardless of the type, the better off we are - that is we don't feel that there is anything to be gained by publicity. However, your situation is quite different, and I can see where work of this nature would accrue to the benefit of the University at large, and certainly we would not be disposed to deprive it of any such small aid which we might indirectly be responsible for contributing. I, therefore, feel that we can drop the matter as it stands, and your letter quite satisfactorily explains the happenings from your standpoint. Sincerely yours, Vice President. HHBarker: RH
