Monday March 6-1922 Before the Evening Board of the Sheffield Scientific School presented at 4.15 P.M. the promotion of Alan Mars Bateman Assistant Professor close second appointment to a full Profess- ship. Ford, Matthews, P.I. Smith and Chitten den endorsed him. Then President Angell came out with the Hartford State- ment that he fully believed in the Associate Professorship and that most instructors should go through this grade. It is very evident that at best Bateman will get a short appointment as Associate Profssor say for two years at $5000 per an- num. Rushed from the meeting to my rooms and packed my baggage to take the 6.09 train for the Penn. Station at New York City; got here at 8.15. This note letters to Bateman, Ford and Lule.
