The attendance at our meetings is usually about 500, consisting, as you realize, of alumni of the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration and their guests. Since many of our members are engaged in banking, we should particularly value a discussion of your views on financial problems. Vie shall be glad to have you select either of the two dates I have mentioned, or choose an entirely different date if you pre fer. We will assure you in advance of the full cooperation of our committee in making the evening an enjoyable one for you, and I hope soon to have word from you that you can be with us.
