support the academic community gives to the Agency. The two documents were 'thank you' letters to Yale President Dr.

great importance as a historian and educator." President Truman stated, "It is realized that Dr. Kent's services will be greatly
missed by the University, but the importance of intelligence to the security of our country cannot be over emphasized."
