A letter written to Miss Peggy Anne Carswell, Balch Hall, Ithaca, New York from R. P. Sibley, Assistant Dean, dated July 19, 1944. Sibley defends the prescribed probation by the faculty to be meant as an emphatic warning. Inasmuch as she has every incentive to finish the requirement this term he then agrees that the probation may be rescinded noting that Dean Ogden and Professor Rideout concur in this belief.
