PROF. DR J. TINBERGEN THE HAGUE, 4 October 1950
Sijzenlaan 41
The Registrar of the
Auckland University College,
University of New Zealand
Auckland C.1.
Dear Sir,
Acknowledging the receipt of your letter of September 12, 1950, concerning Mr R. Slot, I am able to give you the following information.
Mr Roelof Slot entered the Netherland School of Economics in 1940 and took his first degree (an approximate equivalent of B.A.) in 1943 "with honours". He came back in 1945 and he took his second degree (perhaps best to be seen as a master degree, but only to be held after passing the prescribed examinations) also "with honours". During this second part of his study he took as the main course business-economy and as additional courses oriental economy and industrial economy.
My colleague, Prof. Lambers, who knows him very well, told me that he is brought up in a rather strict Protestant family, and that he seems to be a somewhat stiff man. He is very cautious in expressing his scientific opinion, and has become less and less dogmatic in his scientific judgements.
He is analytically gifted and his writings are quite readable. He is working on his thesis on the controverse in the marginal price theory. His every day work is with the Research Department of the Netherlands Bank, Amsterdam.
Mr Slot is in many ways a theoretically well-trained man whom we can strongly recommend.
Yours very sincerely,
