ACCADEMIA INTERNAZIONALE DI LETTERE E SCIENZE
14 DEC 1925 [stamped]
My dear Colleague: --
In view of your widely appreciated academic services I have taken the liberty of submitting your name for the distinction of membership in the Academy of Letters and Sciences at Naples, a body of eminent persons, originally started by forty-six "founder-academicians," almost all professors in the Royal University of Naples. Professor Dr. Pietro Amoroso, Duke of Rijéka, the President-General, advises me that your possible candidature will prove acceptable to the Academic Senate.
It may interest you to learn, that Woodrow Wilson formally accepted honorary membership in the Academy. Thomas A. Edison, as well as Chancellor E. E. Brown of New York University, and President N. M. Butler of Columbia University, are among the distinguished American members.
Kindly inform me whether you will accept election, in which case your diploma and the academic medal will be posted to you directly from Naples, registered.
Expressing the hope that you will lecture before the Academy, when passing through Naples, I felicitate you upon this well-merited distinction from abroad, and remain,
Faithfully yours,
