H. LOCKE, CLERK B. F. HAFER, TREASURER Monday April 27 42 Dr. Forrest C. Allen Kansas University Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen One thousand apologies. I was mistaken as to the date of our commencement. It is and: ivitations say - Thursday , May 21, 1942 I was given authority to offer you the usual honorarium which still stands should you de- cide to skip the Humbolt date to save tires. In event you'decide to come here on the date shown - please phone at our expense. This is the day that we register - again. I foolishly thought that I had made the sacrifice in World War @ne that should suffice for me and my family. I wonder if we will ever know the old 'freedom' or if it was just the . best plan. Hope you dedide to be our speaker, but have a conviction that you will keep the Humbolt date. Trust there has been no inconvenience. Our men here will be disappointed when they hear of our boner - As I wrote that line the di- rector walked into the office with sugar blanks. He was disappointed and suggested a change in déte but too late. Yours truly, . C. G. Mickel, Principal April 21, 1942. Mr. De &, Hamilton, 520 Reliance Building, Kensas City, Mo.
