Seldes writes to Harold Rugg about travel arrangements for a talk he is to give at Teachers College of Columbia University in New York City: "The 3:30 p m train also has a bus service and I am sure the ordeal will be over by then." The first carbon copy is a letter from Rugg saying he is delighted that Seldes can meet with their luncheon group. "If you prefer to write a brief summary of the points you are making in your book on Europe, in order to provoke questions from the group, that will be fine." He goes on to ask about travel arrangements, to which Seldes' letter is a reply. The second carbon copy is of Rugg's confirmation of the arrangements. George Seldes [1890-1995] was an American investigative journalist, foreign correspondent, editor, author and media critic. He is best known for publishing the newsletter "In Fact" from 1940 to 1950. Seldes influenced and was greatly admired by a whole generation of journalists and activists such as Washington Post columnist Colman McCarthy, Nat Hentoff and Ralph Nader. One of the best-known educators during the Progressive era of education, Harold Rugg (1886-1960) was a professor of education at Teachers College of Columbia University. A Civil Engineer, he had become interested in how students learn and pursued a doctorate in education. He was responsible for producing the very first series of school textbooks from 1929 until the 1940s.

Condition: Very good. - Typed letter on an approximately 6-3/4 inch high by 6 inch wide sheet of his personalized letterhead with the last paragraph on a second sheet. Signed "George". The top left corner of each sheet is slightly creased. The date "November 17" is penned below the letter. Folded once for mailing. Very good. Seldes answers a letter from Harold Rugg of Columbia University's Teacher's College inviting him to give a talk at one of Rugg's lunchtime forums. Seldes writes that his dread of public speaking is such that he never accepts such invitations, but he is reluctant to say no in this case. He would prefer just to answer questions, or alternatively, as a starting off point for discussion, he could prepare a 30-minute summary of his upcoming book on Europe, "giving my conclusions regarding the situation vis-a-vis American 'defense' plans; the new 'people's democracies'; the world turn to the left; the Cominform vs. Tito; the opposition to the Marshall Plan in Marshall Plan nations; and a score of subjects about which the American press misinforms the American people."
