THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE OFFICE OF THE CHANCELLOR July 9, 1941 Dr. Forrest C, Allen 105 Robinson Gym Campus Dear Phog: In view of the fact that the proposed committee is an honorary one and I thereby assume you would not be expected to get out and raise money, and in view of the fact I cannot see how your serving on the committee would jeopardize any activities we might care to underteke in regard to a Naismith Memorial, and furthermore, in view of the fact this project is going ahead anyway and I don't see how we could graciously avoid participating, I don't see how we could refuse to serve. In other words, I don't believe that participating on the committee would jeopardize at all our chances of a field house, and certainly we need one and must have one. I wish they weren't so expensive! Sincerely, [I_B. ae DWM:h Deane W. Malott
