Dear Mr. Jerome:

Thank you for your Parents' Report of May 11th, 1970 for concerned
Parents.

This was a great relief to know about the situation and how you, and
your Faculty and the Students, were working together to prevent any
harm or threat to the members of the Community and the Students
during the trying times of the past few weeks.

Mrs. McIlvain and I wish to express our appreciation to you, and I
know that many Parents feel the same way.

We are sorry to learn that you are leaving Bowling GreenBowling Green State University, as we have
had a very pleasant relationship with you, and all concerned, while
our Daughter has been in School there.

Wishing you continued success in your many endeavors,

Very truly yours,

J.E. McILVAIN Vice President
