Dear Dr. di Bonaventura,
During the month of December 1972, I submitted a doctoral research design, “Tuning and Temperament: An Introductory Manual” along with a letter requesting approval of same and permission for said paper to be the entire written requirement for the DMA degree in clarinet.
Since then I have been pursuing this paper with an effort that now indicates that I will submit a reading copy by March 15th as previously discussed. Dr. Rainey has been extremely enthusiastic and pleased with the progress made.
I would appreciate knowing, in writing, any discussion regarding this proposal that I made to the graduate committee. It is my intent to graduate this year and, therefore, I request that you inform me of all the necessary details so that I might act accordingly
Ten years have passed since I initially entered the program and now that the results of this effort will be realized with the conferring of the degree makes us quite pleased to say the least.
Sincerely,
Fred S. Schock
