April 4, 1942

I em sorry that my letter to “ir. Mason paing youe The last
thing that I would want to do would be te hurt the mother of a sone
I was greatly out of patience with the way the matter was handled, and
at the present time I have heard neither fron Arthur nor fran Mr, Vasotie

: Person@liy, I cannot understand how a boy, as old as Arthur,
wuld expect someone to seni him through college when he would be getting
the benefite I have never had any boy feel that. his athletics could be
anything but a benefit to hime Whon he feels otherwise, he is not getting
the most out of his plays

Many people feel that the Miversity should pay a boy's expenses.
I am sure that you do not, Mrs. Spangherg, because the ideals of an educae
tioml institution are not to develop athletes; they are te develop students
_and seholars and technicians; men who can go out in the world and fill a
man’s place long after ethletics ts donde

I am glad to lmow that Arthur's going hone on February 12 was:
to attend his Father's fimerale He promised Mrse “Yellhausen that he would
bring the money back but he did note

I wish for you all the oe mother could have who rears
& son, but too, I hope the son will be worthy of your lovee

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical miueation and Recreation
Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach
