Dear Student: I am pleased to inform you that approval has been given to your request for a leave of absence for the period of the Fall Semester 1964 with maintenance of status at the Bernard Revel Graduate School.

Dear Prof. Silverman: I would hereby like to make an official request of you to permit a slight change in the format of my forthcoming dissertation for the Bernard Revel Graduate School. Instead of having the footnotes placed at the bottom of the page together with the text, I would prefer to be permitted to keep the text and footnotes separate.
