Dear Dr. Allen:

I am suggesting the following courses which we might offer
in the eight weeks summer session:

202. Organization and Administration of Physical Education
100. Principles of Community Recreation
200. Theory and Practice of Athletic Training

and if there is some way that we can offer some coaching or a coaching
clinic, we might teach football, basketball and track.

be offered returning veterans and those students who are not able
to take our’regular physical fitmess courses. This course would be
adapted to the needs of the returning service men and those who are
disabled or for any reason unfit to take regular physical education.

a fours’ to me that a course labeled "Adapted Sports" might

The objective, of course, would be to teach each boy rules,
skills and strategy of activities and sports which the individual can
engage in without undue strain or damage to his wellbeing, and at the
same time provide him with types of physical recreation which he can
engage in throughout most of his life. The activities in the course
would necessarily have to be adapted to fit the needs of the various
individuals who would make up the class. I believe the course should
carry one hour credit, and we might need more than one instructor
hand] ing ite

I suspect that we might have to go before the College faculty
and get the course approved as we have never offered anything exactly
like this.

These are merely suggestions. I will be glad to talk with
you at your convenience.

Sincerely yours,

In addition to Organization and ek of Physical Education,
Principles of Community Recreation, and Theory and lractice of Athletic
Training, I believe we should offer courses in the following activities:

Football, Basketball, Track, Baseball, a major course in Officiating, and
a refresher course in Gymastics. I will submit a sample program.
