Exchange with R. Chiel about R. Lamm's Appointment to YU Presidency (1976)
Dear Norman: I was elated to read in the Times of your having been chosen as President of Yeshiva University. As a former classmate of yours from Torah Vodaas, I can only affirm the wisdom of Yeshiva's Board of Trustees in appointing you to this most important position. I have followed your career with great interest and have learned a great deal from your writings. I am certain that Yeshiva will achieve new heights under your dynamic leadership. Mazal Tov on the wonderful achievement. Sincerely yours, Rabbi Samuel Chiel. P.S. – My new secretary is Debbie Robinson, who is a great admirer of yours, and she is going to add her own note.
