Letter from Thomas Gold to Professor A E Kahn, Dean, Arts and Sciences, Goldwin Smith Hall, Campus Will probably make him feel good to know that Terzian told Gold that morning he had received a phone call confirming a tenure position offer 'from a major university whose ranking was above Cornell in astronomy'. He was to let them know shortly. He also had several other firm offers, including one for a full professor ship. He will nevertheless stay, and seems very happy. 15 June 1971
