Dear museum program intern: Your answers to the questions below will help us build a better museum program in the future. Please mark your "short answers", and when appropriate add comments and criticisms to help us improve. We have given you a little space between questions. If that does not suffice add more lines or add other sheets. Note that the questionnaire comes to you as text, and as a PDF file, and as a microsoft word document. You need only give us one response. If you wish you can get a hard copy from Ms. Melva Smith. By March 7, please return these forms to Ms. Smith e-mail: Melva@UChicago.edu phone: 773-702-6028 address: The James Franck Institute The University of Chicago 5640 S.
