Title: Letters from oceanographers, 1948-1991.

This collection consists of copies of letters by oceanographers written as part of a letter exchange over the years 1948-1991. According to Dale Leipper, the participants "started as a Scripps alumni group who considered Harald Sverdrup to be their mentor in the late 40's," and include some close associates. The letters describe the writers' careers in oceanography, along with family and personal information. Letters were sent to Dale Leipper, who copied them and distributed a set to each participant. There are fifteen sets of letters, compiled annually from 1948 through 1958, and in 1965, 1967, 1977, and 1991. Forty-nine oceanographers took part; Harald Sverdrup, Walter Munk, Robert S. Arthur, and Warren Wooster were regular participants. The original copies of the letters were destroyed.
