TitleLetter from Thomas Gold to Professor A E Kahn, Dean, Arts and Sciences, Goldwin Smith, Campus
Date1 October 1973
DescriptionJust to onform him that they have failed to get Paul Horowitz to Cornell. Gold considers this a major matter for the astronomy and CRSR operation. His opinion of his talents was presumabley not exaggerated, as Harvard has seen fit to give him an associate professorship with tenure at this eerly time in his career. Gold, like Kahn, is very worried about the Cornell faculty salary position. There was a time when their astronomy group was a most attractive group to join. The continuation of success would depend upon that situation being re-established, as necessarily there have to be some replacements. If the Cornell salary situation cannot be reversed they will see the decline of departments such as theirs.
