[Two copies of a Letter from I. H. Kempner to Chauncey D. Leake, January 17, 1945]

Letter from I. H. Kempner to Chauncey D. Leake discussing the "Princeton Plan" for faculty housing. He describes the plan as one where a group of investors acquires land and builds housing. A corporation is formed that issues bonds to finance the project. The property taxes are exempt, and any profits are used to pay off the bonds. Eventually, the property is transferred to the city. He asks Dr. Leake if he can find more details about the plan.

Letter from Chauncey D. Leake to I. H. Kempner discussing the "Princeton Plan" for faculty housing with Mr. Kempner. Leake is familiar with the plan because it was used when he was a student at Princeton. The plan involves private investors building housing on university land. The project is financed through bonds and the property is eventually transferred to the university. Leake believes the plan would be worthwhile for the University of Texas.
