Mott said: "I can think of no personality in all Asia whose message and influence would be more helpful just a t this time. He is one of the most lucid, convinc- ing and impressive Oriental speakers whom I have ever heard. No matter what kind of gathering it may be which he is called upon to address, invariably he makes a deeply satisfying and inspiring impression. The Archbishop of Canterbury told me not long since the Koo had impressed him as in some respects the ablest Oriental whom he had ever met."

Ce Allen Department of Physical Education My dear Doctor Alien: In the more than twenty years that I have been at the University of Kansas we have never had a religious program or a week of religious emphasis which, in my judgment, compares in possibilities with the proposed visit of the University Christian Mission to our campus next fall from October 23 to 28. The University Administration is asking that this week be kept just as clear as possible of all other activities, and that we concentrate on this week of religious effort which will bring to our campus a team of national and international religious leaders. The Chancellor has chosen an Executive Committee of twelve members, seven of whom are students, to look after the many details of the proposed program. This Committee met last Sunday, May 15, to choose the chairmen of the several committees which will be necessary. You have been appointed as co-chairman with Mr. Jim Haughey on the Special Group Meetings Committee. It will be the function of this committee to ascertain the interest that special schools or groups of students would have in hearing speakers on the team who could benefit them. This will require your committee to find opportunities for contact with members of the team, to designate the times and places of actual ne, and to assist in choosing the themes and speak- ers for those occasions. During the next day or two we trust it will be possible for you to confer with Mr. Haughey on the selection of a tentative personnel list for your Committee, which should represent as far as possible all groups interested in the Mission. All committee chairmen are asked to meet with the Exeoutive Committee at 2:30, Sunday, May 22, in the Mathematics Office, Room 203, Frank Strong Hall, in order to definitely determine the personnel and the functions of all the com- mittees. In case it is absolutely impossible for you to come to this meeting, will you please be sure that your co-chairman is present. We thank you for your cooperation in this project, which has such great possibilities for the religious life of our campus. CBS A yours, Ven Be Bf Nevo Chairman, Executive Committee PBL:LIR Ce Ce to Mr. Jim Haughey P. S.

Hillside Wichita, Kans. Sept. 8, 1938 Dear Mr. Allen, The University hintint bei Missicn eaute: made a lot of noise this sunimer, but the national committee has been quietly at work rounding out its arrangements, and what has leaked out to us gives the program much promise. Nearly all of the personnel of the team has been selected, and in the next few days we expect to have available the entire list as well as | information about them. A suggested program has been referred to us for adaptation to the © schedule and needs of our own campus, and though it will have to be revised in many particulars, it is a fine oe for our local program. As soon as it is convenient, we will call a meeting of the committee chairmen to put our tentative program in order and to pass out our last word regarding the Mission Team. Then each committee will have a definite idea of what it is expected to do and when it is to be done. Every bit of service that you give this Mission is going to count for its success even more than we can realize now, and we are happy to have your cooperation in the whole program. With kindest wishes I am incerely yours, ae finn Earl Stuckenbruck Mr. F. C. Allen 801 Louisiana Lawrence, Kansas Tuesday, Sept. 2&7.
