Dear Dr. Allen:-

I have been somewhat slow in writing to you
since your acceptance of the invitation to deliver
the Commencement Address in Slater on Friday, May 19th.
Our program has not developed very far at the present
time so I do not know what ke particular subject or
topic would be more appropriate. I believe, however,
‘any subject that you might choose would fit in with
any program we may be able to arrange. Since you are
so well-known by the boys of this state, you might plan
to use something that you have found that appeals to
the interest of boys and girls.

If you will let us know your subject, we
might harmonize at least a part of our program with
your line of thought. I shall be glad to hear at your
earliest convenience, your choice of subject.

Very truly yours,

LO tg et Mer hla
Chas. A. McMillan,
Superintendent.
