Dear Dr. Smiths App : Ich 
It is encouraging news that you may be able to add Jack 
Randall to the University's staff. He is top flight as an 
icthyologist , in the opinion of our division of fishes staff, 
one of the best and most promising of the younger generation. 
He received his Fh.D. last spring . His thesis was published 
in Pacific Science (University of Hawaii), vol. 10, no. 2, 
April 1956, pp. 159 to 235, A revision of the surgeon fish 
genus Acanthurus. 
I hope you have no trouble in getting him appointed . 
Sincerely, 
Waldo L. Schmitt 
Head Cur ator
