News Clipping, Approximate Date

Mr. Derrick in Demand
We note that Calvin Derrick has been engaged to take charge of the Westchester county penal problem; to open and operate the new Penitentiary, install the system of control, and train for the work a new superintendent and officials. He will continue for a time also as director of certain matters in the New York City Department of Corrections.

Mr. Derrick is also delivering a course of eight lectures at the New York University, and a series at Columbia University on “Criminology and Criminal Psychosis,” under the auspices of the Rockefeller Foundation.

We all take much interest in watching the successful course of Mr. Derrick in his profession, because he is an Otsego county man and was for four years principal of the Morris school. He has become a man of National distinction as an expert of Criminology.

Notes: This probably was included in the letter that Calla mentioned receiving from Mrs. Derrick yesterday.
