- Dear Chief: 613 University Avenue Syracuse 10, New York March 7, 1956 I was delighted to hear so much from you about the doings of the Lab and I appreciate very much your taking particular concern over my study here. God willing, I do hope I will be able to hurdle all the difficulties. I was allowed to take the second semester subjects but of course, this means that I have to do more reading than any of the other students so I will understand what they are talking about-especially in connection with the first semester work. I am fully aware that there "is no royal road to success." The tentative plan for me is this: 12 credit hours of academic course work (minimum requirement for academic units) and 18 credit hours of thesis making a total of 30 hours-the requirement for M.S. I expect to finish this in l-1/2years, maybe two, depending on my thesis. One can never forsee or be able to predict what troubles may come up, especially in one's experiments. My work in school is not very heavy though-correcting students' papers, assisting the Professor in his work, etc. but very seldom. I am more concerned with my studies, so I can maintain my scholarship. Saturday of the first week I arrieved here, I was brought in to the office of Dean Shirley by the head of our Dept., also my major Prof., Dr. Jahn. He did not forget you and Mr. Aquino and the last time I saw him I extended your regards, of which he was very glad. One evening, two weeks ago, the telephone in our apartment rang. Who was at the other end, but the PR,O of the College, saying that the Syracuse Herald Journal was requesting an interview? I never thought my studying here would stir so much interest. A ·clipping is enclosed for your perusal. Sometimes people can be over-solicitous and sometimes, too, I'm not sure if I am doing right or wrong. The Secretary of the Graduate Office is suggesting that I be made to stay with American girl students so I will learn the American ways of life and other insights into American culture, etc. My stay here will be bee too short, so I have to make the most of it, I was told. Arrangements are being made, but the final decision will lie with m-e. Prof. "Teddy" Delizo will have arrived by the time my letter reaches Los Banos and he will provide you with more of the grape-vine. My regards to everyone in the FPL and Mrs. Cruz. Sincerely, (SGD.)
