Item Item: - Kreider to Bender

Carl Kreider to Bender mostly about an offer to teach at Princeton, which Kreider would like to accept at least for a year, although “I would like to return to Goshen as soon as possible”, thinking “I can be of service there better than anywhere else”; practical reasons for taking the Princeton offer, both academic and financial; at risk of sounding vain, expounded about the fine relationship he had with the Princeton faculty; had even lived at the house of Professor Fetter [Frank A. Fetter, Frank Albert Fetter], the department’s chair, and been his assistant on a book; etc. etc., a very long letter; about arrangements at Goshen, faculty vacancies, etc., including possibility and credentials for Lucille Kreider teaching French, sister of Ward Kreider; on implications of possible war in Europe for his career and his faith--mention of Clarence Pickett in this connection.
