NEW ENGLAND STUDENTS FOR WALLACE

134 MT. AUBURN STREET
CAMBRIDGE, MASS.

Professor F. O. Matthiessen

Boston, Massachusetts

Dear Professor Matthiessen:

The New England Students for Wallace would like to take this opportunity to thank you for speaking at the Conference on February 14th. We feel very strongly that your address was an inspiration to every student present.

The Conference was a success from many points of view, the students have gone back to their campuses much better equipped to form Third Party organizations.

It is very important that the students realize that they have some faculty members who are unimpressed by the "muffled curtain." It is encouraging to us to know that there are those who have the intellectual honesty to enable them to speak out with fearlessness. If it were not for people like you to guide them, I am sure the Third Party would fail to be as successful on the student level as it is.

Thank you for being at our Conference and thank you for your work in the Progressive Movement.

Yours very truly,

Emanuel Margolis
Chairman
New England Students for Wallace
