Our printer madea mistake in the number of copies of the magazine which hedelivered, actually undersupplying us by over 200 copies. Itwill bs necessary for him to re-run the entire magazine, andit would help us out materially if entire magazines would suityour purposes as well as reprints. The cost would be the same.However, if this would not.be as acceptable, we shall,of course, go right ahead and get thereprinta for you.We would be most grateful jf you could let us knowabout this as soon as possible, and I enclose sn airmail returnenvelope for your convenience.With best wishes.Cordially yours,' \\V\^6jU^^j ^ij\q^Margaret WagnerExecutive Secretary

the Foundation for integrated Education, inc.October 6, 1958Dr. P. A. Sorokin, DirectorResearch Center in Creative AltruismHarvard University8 Cliff StreetWinchester, Mass.Dear Pitirim:Thank jou for your letter of October 1st to me and one ofthe same date to Margaret.With regard to the supply of reprints, 1,000 will mostcertainly be available to you before too long, and we shallbe happy indeed to send out directly any reasonable number ofwhole magazines to a list that you might care to supply; inthis way we have a record of whet transpires. Or, if youprefer, we could send stocks to you for despatch.We expect the re-run of the magazine to occur this week,and the reprints to be completed next. Owing to the fact thatthe printer short-changed us on magazine supplies, we have toget that corrected first before we break up the forms forreprints.I cannot express my happiness to see you moving aboutactively in the field of professional and public education,employing your powerful specialty and resources as you seemto be doing. Books are important and I welcome thosiwhich youmention in your letter as a very natural part of the work whichour group has been trying to do. If we can help in the finishing of the two manuscripts you mention, please let us know.We are assisting Henry in the preparation of a volumeupon deductive exact science and natural law, putting operation-alism and other important ventures in their proper but subordinateplaces. It does look as though our group will at last hit theworld hard, even though we may be acting more or less individuallyand in e somewhat loose-pointed wayl

That state of affairs could be remedied without in any wayimpairing our individual usefulness if the 160 acres, wonderfulbuildings, and full furnishings and equipment which have beenoffered to us were to be accepted by us as the center for ourconferences and activities. We need only the sum of $25,000a year for three years to take possession. It seems to meastonishing that individually and collectively we arenot ableto command such a sum. The property i3 at Cold Spring, NewYork, only sixty Miles away fro:r Times Square. We could bein possession of it before the end of this month,- if we hadthat snail sum of money.Ever yours cordially,

ITiant tc send copies of the magazine to many of ray colleagues in Germany,."ranee, Italy, Grain, and other European countries, plus sumo sociologistsof the V.iddle S»ast. I BS aure they would be highly interested in thoJournal and tlioir acquaintance with it nay give none fruitful results.As to the sum of 525,000 for one .-/car or i'75,000 for three years, 1 stillthink that collectively TOusriijuld address a firs petition for :-ach a sumto throe or four hi:; Foundations. If si.pwd by soma 20 or 30 eminentnames in science, art, ,ihilosojiiy, and education, and if tho petition ieproperly worded, I believe tlwra is a cliance that one of the Foundationswould not dare to decide an it negatively. Tt would ijo indeed exceedinglyregretful if on account of the lack of this modest sum your Foundationwould fall to acquire tho estate Tor development of its research and activities.tar the present I do not need any financial help for the continuation ofirry studies, out within one year or so the appropriation'of the Lillynruoumei.t will be exhausted and then 1 may need at least a very .T.odestsum for secretarial and other assistantship in my studies. For the present I do not worry about this business. If such a modest sum v.culd beavailable, v.eU and good. If it would not be available, I weald 3tillcontinue my studies without any financial help.bstt viliiie:; ."or you, ;.!ra. Kunz and the Foundation.Host cordially yo. :3,■Pitirim. A. Sorokin

THE FOUNDATION FOR INTEGRATED F.DUCATTON, INC.October 8, 1958Dr. Pitirim A. Sorokin, DirectorHarvard University „Research Center in Creative Altruis:3 Cliff StreetWinchester, Mass.Dear Pitirim:Thank you so much for yours of October 7, 1958.We shall supply you whatever number of whole copiesof MAIN CURRENTS are required for the list you speak of. Ifyou prefer to send them out yourself, we will send you suitableenvelopes for their dispatch. If we could at some stage beprivileged to have a copy of the list, merely for our internalpurposes here in the office, we would appreciate that.Our offer to dispatch them directly also still stands*Henry Margenau is expected back frorr Washington aboutthe middle of this month. He is aa eager as anybody could befor us to get possession of the Cold Spring property, but hehas not so far formulated the kind of brief, yet specific appealwhich you describe, and it may be that with all his burdsns andother considerations, he may not be able to do so.I do not think that I am myself the proper person todraft such an appeal which might,in fact, be merely a longletter. If it were possible for you to formulate such a documentand let me have a copy of it scon, I would try to add what Icould and then try to gat Henry to complete it and circulate it forimmediate signatures.I look forward with much pleasure to seeing you againwhen next I am in Boston.With affectionate regards to Mrs- Sorokinand to you,Ever yours,F.

The Foundation For integrated education, inc.October 9, 1958Dear Pitirim:Since I wrote you on October 8th, I gave more thought tothe question of the preparation of a request for funds-It seemsto me that if you would state the case as you seeit, and incorporate references to those aspects of the programwhich I, for example, have made rather particularly my own,and also to studies which Henry Margenau would like to seeforwarded, we would all bs on our way.In addition to the paper entitled "Toward and Institutefor Integrative Studies," I would be grateful if you wouldread and bear in mind in this connection what I say from page9 to li, of the enclosed copy of MAIN CURRENTS, Volume S, #1.The unique feature of the studies that we have so fararticulated is that they bring the powerful techniques ofdeductive exact science one whole stage nearer to applicationat the human level in sociology as well as psychology.Henry*s interest is in the articulation of the contribution so far made by physics in all aspects. My contribution as you see is at the biological level.I believe that a statement which you outlined, ail Henryand I completed, upon vhich, of course, we could veryreadilyget the thinking of Ed Sinnott, Fll Northrop and others, wouldnot only bring the necessary monies from a foundation over aferiod of some weeks or months, but would enable us to get■mediate cash in so that we could go ahead with the ColdSpring property and then be all ready to finance your work andany other comparable studies without any further question.Given an adequate statement that is scholarly and authoritative, scientifically acceptable and eloquent, I feelconfident thst I could find the funds, but we must act withgreat promptness.
