At the conclusion of the con versation, Dr. Hamilton said that she would go back and check up on the history of the two cases. Dr* Sayers did not suggest that we go into the matter in any way hut I am passing it on to you for your information and in case you wish to get any details from Dr. Hamilton* To me, this is an interesting sidelight on the mental attitude of some of the Harvard crowd* ge/lrj Ke" 0 0 1 5 5 1 1
