Dear Mr. Kissinger:

I am writing to invite you to be a member of the Chubb Fellowship program at Yale in the fall of this year. The Fellowship is designed to bring men and women in public life to Yale for short periods of time. The enclosed booklet describes the history and purpose of the program.

In the coming year we will concentrate on the Presidency and are asking prospective candidates to appear for brief visits throughout the fall and spring. As a preface to this series of appearances, we would like to have a panel of informed witnesses from academic and political life discuss the nature of the modern presidency. I hope very much that you will be willing and able to be a member of this panel discussion. I also hope that we can make the exercise both instructive and interesting - indeed fun as well as work for the participants. To that end we would like to have the panel members come for an afternoon, meet informally with a few students and faculty members interested in the subject, have a good dinner followed by the public panel discussion, remain for the night in one of the Yale residential colleges and return home the following morning. For such participation you will receive an honorarium of $750 and travel expenses. We plan to hold this discussion sometime in the second week in October.

I would be grateful to you for letting me know, if the occasion is possible for you, what days in that week would be most convenient. Should you want further information or wish me to describe this particular event more specifically do let me know. I hope very much that the idea appeals to you.

## TIMOTHY DWIGHT COLLEGE

Timothy Dwight College, as one of Yale's residential colleges, has its own traditions and identity while being at the same time an intregal part of the University. Some instruction is given under the aegis of the colleges, with the cooperation and under the direction of the departments, and the colleges' main function is, in the highest and best sense, educational. The undergraduates of Timothy Dwight have their residence in the College, take their meals in the College Dining Hall, and have at their disposal such facilities as the College Library, Workshops, Television Room and the like. They have their own athletic teams which compete with those from other colleges, their own Dramatic Association, and give their own special parties on appropriate week-ends. The College has at present approximately 340 undergraduate men and women in residence.

The Fellows of the College, numbering about 90, are chosen from the various disciplines of the University; some teach the courses

within the College alluded to above, others are
available for guidance and counseling.

Like her sister colleges, Timothy
Dwight has certain institutions peculiarly her
own. The College takes pride in the Library,
outstanding for its large holdings, the Mott
Woolley Council, an endowed undergraduate
advisory group, and the Chubb Fellowship,
which is a special source of satisfaction and per-
haps the College's chief distinction.

# THE CHUBB FELLOWSHIP

The Visiting Chubb Fellowship has as its unique purpose the bringing to Timothy Dwight College of men and women of eminence from various fields of public life who will, during a residence of three or four days, share in the life of the College and the University.

In its present form, the Fellowship was established in 1949. It was made possible by the generosity of Hendon Chubb (Yale 1895 S) who, in 1937, created a fund to be used for the encouragement of student interest in public affairs. The College decided that one of the most effective ways to achieve the end in view would be to invite distinguished men to the campus and have them mingle freely with the students in the Dining Hall, informal after-dinner discussions, and in the class room, thereby joining in the spontaneous give-and-take of Yale's varied activities.

During the days of his residence, the Chubb Fellow lives in the guest suite of the Timothy Dwight College Master's House. He is

not subjected to any stereotyped program; the
schedule of his visit is arranged to suit the spe-
cial preferences of each incumbent. In a general
way he will have his meals with the students
and Fellows of the College, will take part in dis-
cussion groups and seminars, and will establish
various kinds of associations with other inter-
ested departments and societies in the Univer-
sity. But though the program may vary, the basic
purpose of the Fellowship remains the same;
namely, to bring together the outside man of
affairs and those on the campus who have a
lively concern with the field of his endeavor.

Since its inception the program has
proved remarkably successful. Statesmen, schol-
ars, local politicians and publicists have been
among the incumbents of the Fellowship, and
all have expressed their delight at the reception
accorded them and the stimulation to which they
have been subjected. As for the students, their
response has invariably been vigorous and en-
thusiastic. For them to have been able to discuss
public affairs with men who themselves have
contributed to those affairs, has been an abiding
contribution to the success of their college years.

The Chubb Fund makes it possible during the course of each academic year to invite some four or five Visiting Fellows to the college. In addition it provides the means for the annual appointment of an Associate Chubb Fellow. The Associate lives in one of the residential suites of the College during the duration of his Fellowship. Usually he is a graduate student of the University who is completing the work for his doctorate in one or other of the social sciences, or is engaged in some other form of research. His main responsibility is to assist the Master in the detailed carrying out of the Chubb program and to serve as a general aid to the Chubb Fellows while they are in residence. By his close association with the students he serves to encourage interest in public affairs, and thus further to promote the general purpose of the Chubb Fund.

Dear Mr. Morn:

Per our conversation, I am herewith sending you the standard biographical data sheet we have available for answering questions about Mr. Kissinger's background. As I mentioned on the telephone, I think you will find that recent magazine articles about Mr. Kissinger will provide you with a great deal of additional information.

I enclose also a photograph of Mr. Kissinger.
Best wishes in your studies.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

Please excuse my delay in writing to
apologize for the fact that your name was
included in the attached article without
your prior knowledge or approval. Your name
and those of several others came up in an
informal conversation with a <u>Gazette</u> editor.
Its inclusion in the article was an honest
mistake, I assure you.

The second piece of material enclosed
explains the progress, thus far, of The
Vineyard School which I hope to establish
in Edgartown. My family and I shall be living
near the Fisher house this summer. There is
a good chance that a few modest "pilot"
activities will be sponsored by the school
this summer.

Again, my apologies for the unauthorized
use of your good name.

THE VINEYARD SCHOOL: A BRIEF ACCOUNT

For quite some time, summer and year' round residents of Martha's Vineyard have considered the possibility of establishing a private school or college which - presumably - could and would serve the needs and interests of the Island community both during summer months and possibly throughout the year. An editorial in the *Vineyard Gazette* last September observes:

> A school or college would mean a community within the community of the Island, and its faculty should, as largely as possible, be drawn from the great number of educators, representing so impressive a scientific and scholastic authority, who know and love the Vineyard. In fact, members of this academic group have been the most consistent and enthusiastic advocates of a project of this kind.

Last September, I met Dr. Alvin Strock and expressed to him my interest in establishing a center of learning of some kind on the Island. He noted that his firm, Island Properties, Inc., owns the Daniel Fisher house in Edgartown. He suggested that this building could conceivably house such a school. Throughout the months that followed, Dr. Strock and I pursued this idea. We conferred on the Vineyard and talked frequently by telephone. The significant result of these extended deliberations is that we have decided to co-found The Vineyard School which will be located in the Fisher house in Edgartown. The school will be incorporated as a non-profit organization with tax-exemption status, governed by a board of trustees. The firm of Hill & Barlow (Boston and Edgartown), represented by John L. Saltonstall, Jr., will provide the School's legal counsel. If sufficient interest and support from within the Island community are evident this summer, The Vineyard School will be operating in 1970 during the months of July and August.

Clearly, the natural and human resources on the Island can sustain a uniquely exciting center of learning. Several outstanding teachers who reside on the Island during the summer have expressed their desire to join the School's faculty. I have conferred with them as well as with a number of other outstanding educators, including school headmasters and college presidents, who have assisted in the preparation of the School's curriculum, policies and procedures. Finally, I have already met with persons who live on the Island year' round; and I plan to meet with many others, seeking their assistance and support. Much progress has been made since last September but much work remains to be done.

What kind of school will The Vineyard School be? First, it will - in time - provide not only a significant variety of junior and senior high school courses but also a variety of other activities for people of all ages. Non-credit courses; evening seminars; field trips to museums, galleries, theatres, music halls, laboratories, and summer schools elsewhere; panel discussions; film festivals; institutes and workshops; public lectures ... these and other activities are now being carefully considered.

I also hope to achieve active cooperation and coordination with local schools and agencies such as the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and the Island Chamber of Commerce.

As envisioned, The Vineyard School will be responsive to the needs and interests of everyone associated with it. Its curriculum will therefore be sufficiently flexible. A high quality of leadership provided by the faculty members is also essential. Finally, the activities themselves must be appealing so that a genuine desire to learn is actively and creatively encouraged.

I am reminded of what A. Whitney Griswold once said, that schools and colleges must nourish "the desire and capacity of the individual for self-education; that is, for finding meaning, truth and enjoyment in everything he does." The Vineyard School so dedicates itself. Moreover, it will recognize the truth of what James Agee said in *Let Us Now Praise Famous Men*:

> All that each person is, and experiences, and shall never experience, in body and mind, all these things are differing expressions of himself and of one root, and are identical: and not one of these things nor one of these persons is ever quite to be duplicated, nor replaced, nor has it ever quite had precedent: but each is a new and incommunicably tender life, wounded in every breath, and almost as hardily killed as easily wounded: sustaining, for a while, without defense, the enormous assaults of the universe.

As we survey the ravages of ignorance, intolerance and indifference which now exist throughout the world, we realize the importance of what George Wald said recently:

> Our business is with life, not death. Our challenge is to give what account we can of what becomes of life in the solar system, this corner of the universe that is our home; and, most of all, what becomes of men — all men, of all nations, colors, and creeds. This has become one world, a world for all men. It is only such a world that can now offer us life, and the chance to go on.

Griswold, Agee and Wald have all responded to the infinite variety and complexity of human experience, each stressing the importance of enriching "the meaning, truth and enjoyment" of every human life. The "philosophy" of The Vineyard School can best be understood in these terms.

With sufficient support, the School can — and will — make a significant contribution to the welfare of the Island community.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

Mutual acquaintances of ours (Sam Wijesinha, Diana Captain and Bala Lampoe) suggested I pay a courtesy call on you at Harvard on my return to the United States to extend their greetings.

Although you are physically closer to me now, the pressures of your new office, I fear, make you a little less accessible, hence this letter. I would appreciate it, however, if in your busy schedule you could find time to see me.

I shall telephone your office Monday, February 3, to see if an appointment is convenient.

I served at the American Embassy in Colombo from November 1965 through December 1968 as Political-Labor Officer. I am currently attached to the NEA Bureau in the Department of State.

Thank you for your interest.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Henry A. Kissinger
FROM: Hugh Morrow

September 8, 1969

SUBJECT: READER'S DIGEST ARTICLES BY GOVERNOR ROCKEFELLER

As you know, the President encouraged the Governor at their meeting in San Clemente on September 3 to accept an offer from Reader's Digest for publication of articles on Latin America by the Governor, to stimulate interest in Latin America and to support new U.S. policies to come in re our relations in the Western Hemisphere.

In this connection, the Governor has asked me to ask you for security clearance of David Edward Reed, roving editor of Reader's Digest, so we can start the preliminary work on this project. It is understood that Reed also contemplates a book. All the material he would publish will be completely under the Governor's control and clearance since it will have the Governor's by-line on it. In addition, depending upon decisions to come from you and the President, we are considering publication of a popularized version of the Report to the President, and again would expect Reed to be one of our literary handmaidens.

David Edward Reed was born August 12, 1927; his address is 11616 Danville Drive, Rockville, Maryland 20852. His Social Security number is 339-20-3074. He is a citizen of the United States. As a correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, he had prior clearances by the Department of Defense -- to Iraq in 1957, and to Vietnam in 1965.
