            <p>At the request of the Government, American Defense – Harvard Group is making a survey
               of the educational and scholarly personnel of <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__122" type="place">Germany</rs>, <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__219" type="place">Italy</rs>, <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__710" type="place">Japan</rs>, <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__1271" type="place">Hungary</rs>, <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__776" type="place">Austria</rs>, <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__985" type="place">Czechoslovakia</rs>, <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__1272" type="place">Rumania</rs>, <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__1273" type="place">Bulgaria</rs>, <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__1274" type="place">Finland</rs>. I am writing to see if
               you will be so good as to supply me with information regarding teachers or
               investigators in the field of education and related flieds with whom you are directly
               or indirectly acquainted, and who, to the best of your knowledge, are at present in
               one of the above countries.</p>
            <p>The primary purpose of the inquiry is to collect brief biographical records and
               estimates of individuals who can be relied on for personal integrity,
               disinterestedness and intellectual honesty; who enjoy a good reputation and exert
               influence in their communities; and who possess expert competence in their subjects
               or professions. Any information which you may provide will be held in strict
               confidence, and its source will not appear on the record. It will be used with
               discretion, and only to advance the declared aims and policies of the <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__684" type="place">United States</rs> with regard to the
               several countries named, during the war and the immediate post-war period.</p>
            <p>In supplying information, please use the enclosed questionnaire (FROM HA), and observe 
            the following directions:</p>
            <p>1. Questions filled or crossed (xxx) need not be answered, the information being already 
            available from other sources.</p>
            <p>2. Leave blank any questions which you do not deem yourself competent to answer
               either from your knowledge or after consultation with other sources.</p>
            <p>3. Do not attach your name to the questionnaire, but attach the questionnaire to your return covering
            letter, and pencil your initials lightly at top of the first sheet.</p>
            <p>4. Whenever relevant, indicate accuracy and recency of your information.<pb n="2"/></p>
            <p>5. Enter on FROM HB the names of other sources from whom you have obtained
               information on any given person, together with your estimate of their
               reliability.</p>
            <p>6. Under Comments (FROM HA) give any additional suggestions which you think would
               serve the purpose of the inquiry.</p>

                     <p>Heinrich Gottlob Robert Ulich (21. April 1890 – 17. Juni 1977) war ein deutscher Ministerialbeamter, Germanist und Bildungsforscher.

                     <p>Paul Tillich (20. August 1886 – 22. Oktober 1965) war ein deutscher evangelischer Theologe und Religionsphilosoph. Nach seiner Tätigkeit als Feldprediger im Ersten Weltkrieg lehrte er an verschiedenen Universitäten in Deutschland, bis er 1933 emigrieren musste und in den USA wirkte, unter anderem in New York, Harvard und Chicago. Tillich entwickelte eine Theologie der Kultur und verstand Religion als das „was uns unbedingt angeht“. In seiner „Systematic Theology“ formulierte er die Methode der Korrelation und deutete Gott als „Macht des Seins“. Seine Arbeiten verbinden Theologie, Philosophie und Existenzdenken und hatten großen Einfluss auf das religiöse Denken der Moderne.</p>
