Re:Dr. Leo Merrill/Application for position at Dixie
Dear Dr. Brooks:
I have known Dr. Leo Merrill since he was a young man living in upper New York State where I alsoj resided. I also knew him as a student at Brigham young University. For the past fourteen years he has managed the High Pressure Data Center at Brigham Young University. This center is financed by the U.S. Bureau of Standards. . I am nominally the director of this center but the operation of the center has been entirely left'to D^. Merrill. Due to the financial problems of our Federal Government, our Data Center is beins? phased out. jl
The administrative responsibilities of Dr. Merrilllat this cBBter have , included: budget managem&ftt, jb&lftpS^lf^in-l 1 ning, systeas analysis, computer programming, providing ,
* .information services, formating bibliographic compilations, computer terminal applications, personnel supervision, dealings with a world-wide clientel of the center, etc.
Dr. Merrill is a mfen of high character and moral principle, lie is totally hon«3t and completely reliable. He is a self-*\/ starter and congenial. He works well with others. He is ■ highly intelligent. I recoramehd him highly to you and
without any reservation whatever.
