br be Ee Re ee Sree (PRL ea ea PRE PE ES ‘ y UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE ® snes = DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION May 31, 1941 Dr. B.C, Alien University of Kansas Dear Dr, Allen: I am enclosing the recommendations of Melba Schilling, University of Illinois, From all the applications received for the position of dance instructor, I am the most interested in hers, e I have talked to Miss Freer, who is the director of physical education for women at the University of Illinois, on the telephone. She gives very high recom- mendations for Miss Schilling, Since I have attended the University of Illinois and have also taught under Miss Freer I feel that I can place complete confidence in her recommendations. I have wired Miss Schilling, as you suggested, so that she will not accept another position before official confirmation can be made here, Miss Freer felt we would be able to contract Miss Schilling for $1300, I hope definite arrangements can be made very soon. Sincerely, D hasota/ Ruth I. Hoover RIH:ek Bnel,
