Excerpt from letter bound with pamphlet
DEAR SIR,
In sending you the accompanying Pamphlet, setting forth the objects and plan of an INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY proposed to be established, if practicable, on the Back-Bay lands in Boston, we beg to request that you will give it your early and thoughtful attention.
In our view of the great advantages which the industrial interests and practical education of the Commonwealth would derive from such an Institution, we cannot but hope that our plan will so approve itself to your judgment as to win your sympathy and active co-operation.

WILLIAM B. ROGERS, Chairman of Committee.
