The correspondents are many and represent a wide scope of those associated with the academic community. Page 92 of this file appears to be a copy of the questions initially posed by Flexner to his correspondents. It should be kept in mind that other materials in the collection address the topics discussed in these files. For instance, Flexner's correspondence with Oswald Veblen.
