Dear Dr Phog:

I am delighted to receive your letter of January 2 accepting our invita-
tion to be our guest speaker at our annual meeting here in Chicago, Friday evening,
January 306«

Betty Ruth Smith has a good committee, which includes your daughter, and
will be responsible for the reception of guests, decorations, music, and arrange-
ments in general. We will hold the meeting at a Swedish club, where we will enjoy
@ well provided smorgasbord. I am sure that we will all enjoy this change from
the conventional dinner.

By the way, we would be delighted to have the basketball team come to the
dinner. As our treasury is considerably in the red, and I suppose will be further
in by the time we meet our expenses, may I suggest that our committee would be
happy to be responsible for any expense in the dinner beyond what the boys would
pay at the hotel. This doesn't sound like very generous hospitality, does it?

I understand that the budget on which your team travels is better supplied with
cash then our treasurer - at least I hope soi

# “7 On behalf of the 75th Anniversary, we enlisted the support of some of the
ups alumni in Chicago on the Loan and Scholarship Fund. I wish, therefore, that in

your address you would tell us something about the results of the Loan and Scholar-
ye Fund, which makes possible the education of some of our boys and girls who

otherwise could not attend the University.
hen 4° I understand that there is a new plan suggested to alumi, to provide $100
be \ coma a $200 scholership for a worthy freshman, and that the committee at the
University will provide the other $100. Please play up that suggestion in your
address. We ought to have more of our alumi contributing annually to this fund,
and some of them could do so substentially if sufficiently interested.

I will get in touch with you at the Morrison Hotel the morning of January

Thanking you for accepting our invitation, I remain
Sincerely yours,
