Dr. F. L. baaIhe Foundation fcr Integrated Education, Inc.21*6 East froth StreetNow York 17» -ion Tortc::. ■ . .--.iii;lTiis is just to say that 1 received your latter and the outline of the Institute for integrative Studiea. Just now I do not have time to carefully readyour paper on the Institute, beaa^se tomorrow early in the morning we arestartin,-; to drlvo to Virginia, where a- am scheduled to give noxt weak tenlectures, one in each of tile 10 main universities a'ld colleges of Virrglnia.I expect to he back on November 17.For the present I want to say only that I ooi pletely share in vli\a.t you say-about the foundations. Uist Sunday, at tlie "funeral rooting" of the iJoEEdttoeof tho Research Society for Orative Altruism, I again and again reiteratedthat the desire of some of the nembers of the CrjOTrrlttee to continue tc try to getsome grant from the foiindatione for the Society is rather hopeless, ant- thatpersonally I do not have the slijdrteat wish to be one of the solicitors ofthese foundations. This exactly is tl-.o reason why I said that unless one hassoma close personal relationship i ith some of the thick-headed bosses and theirlittle espty-Einded bureaucrats, tba chances to obtain any fundB for oiy important iirojects from these foiandaticns are practically nil. Unless fromquite an unexpected source ooiiie funds would be forthcoming, I recora.ended toregard the Research iiociety for Creative Altruism to bo ended.I am mentioning these tilings because the position of your project Is somewhataimilar to the position of the Kesearch Society. Despite liquidation of theResearch Society I, cf course, would be continuing ry studies and,for one ortwo ; ears, the direction of the harvard Research Ccjnter, regardless of whetiieror not there are any new funds.'.'.ith nry best wishes,Sincerely yours,Pitirim A.
