Dear Sir:

The return of discharged service men to school has
created several problems of adjustment in our department of
Physical Education. It is our desire to learn whether you
have been faced with similar problems, and what measures
have been taken to meet them. We would appreciate very much
your kindness in answering the following questions:

1. Has it been necessary to grant a blanket exemption
from physica] education requirements for returning
veterans? Has any request been made for such
exemption?

2. Are veterans required to take "physical fitness”
courses under the same conditions as other civil-
ian students?

3. Has it been necessary to alter your program by -
offering more carry-over and leisure-sports activ-
ities to meet the needs of returning veterans?

4, Has it been necessary to enlarge the adaptive and
corrective phase of your physical education
program?

Any additional information as to the type of program offered,
and problems encountered by the return of veterans, will be appreci-
ated, Will you help us?

Cordially,

Yao 44 Lamand
