Dear Johns

I am sorry to have delayed in answering your very |
important letter. I assure you that we will help you in every
way that we cane

I have just finished talking to the Personnel Director
of the Veteran's Bureau at the University, Dr. Elbel, and he tells
me that it will be necessary to have your high school send your
transcript to Dre Lawrence Woodruff, the registrar of the University.
Then it will be necessary for you to write a letter to Dr. Woodruff,
applying to him for the refresher course in the University. Since
you did not finish high school, the Bureau has set up an arrangement
whereby it would be necessary for you to enter one semester in this
refresher course. A battery of tests would be made by Dr. Turney,
our Professor of Education’ Psychology, and certain subjects would be
assigned you. If you should pass these subjects favorably, you would a
be enrolled as a regular freshman at the University of Kansas.

Perhaps Otto Rost has told you that we have a number of
trainers in very prominent positions and I would be glad to help you.
I am sure that you would be very successful in your work after learne
ing your talents as outlined in your letter, Jimmy Cox, head trainer
at Harvard, Rolend Logan, U. 8. Military Academy at West Point, Elwyn
Dees, University of Pittsburgh, and University of Nebraska, Mike Kelly,
University of Texas, and Dean Nesmith, present trainer at the University
of Kansas, are all boys who have been developed by me and who have been
highly successful, , 7

I am sure thet we would enjoy you here at the University
of Kansas, Let me know as to your decision and please remember me
nost kindly to my good friend Otto Rost.

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
FCA:MF Varsity Basketball Coach.
