‘Dear Bills
. a

 

I have your letter of the 13th of March beffgre me
which I will attempt to answer.

It was very fine to hear from you and to know that you
are interested in coming to K.eU,. following your discharge from the
service. First, may I congratulate you on your services to your country
and welcome you to Kansas University. You are the type of man whom
we are especially desirous of having among uS-.

Concerning some of your questions, I must say that
although the university may be crowded over capacity next fall, if you
are a Kansas resident, you will have no trouble or difficulty in enter-
ing the universitye The out-of-state students are the ones who this
overcrowding will effect. Your being a firsteyear student to the
school will have no bearing to this situation,

Concerning your desire to become a coach some day, I
can Wale say that if you feel that you would rather coach athletics
than do anything else, by all means be a coach. We need more coaches
with that attitude. The profession is not a very lucrative one, as you
doubtlessly realise. However, it. ‘pays off in many ways other than
financial. If your interests are with American youth, the returns
will be generous and satisfying.

   

: From what you have mentioned in your letter I agree
with you that you will have three years of eligibility at the University
of Kansas under the eligibility regulations. I am sure, also, that
your hours taken at Duke University will be given due consideration and
you will not loss too much credit by such a reneyete ~

I am enclosing the Physical Education brochure which
will give you information on the requirements of our school for enter-
ing the School of Education for a major in Physica} Education. .

I appreciate your congratulations on our Big Six
Championship and it is my wish that next year you will be with us.
in the fight for that same championship once again.

Sincerely yours,
