THE KANSAS STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE ~ OF EMPORIA FOUNDED IN 1863 AS THE KANSAS STATE NORMAL SCHOOL THOMAS W. BUTCHER, PRESIDENT EMPORIA September 22, 1942 Dr. Forrest C. Allen Director of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. I wish to most heartily thank you for your kind cooperation in sending me the sketches of your obstacle course. We plan to build one here and your sketches will be utilized by us in so doing. We have about three hundred boys participating in the Physical Conditioning Program. Really more boys than we expected. So we feel quite happy about it all. We are gradually losing Professors here. I, myself, have been procured by the Aviation forces, have had my medical examination but as yet have not been ordered out. Such things makes a very disturbed situation as a whole. Under such situations, schools will just have to do the best they can. _ Again let me thank you for your help and I am sending my regards to you and the other boys in the Department. JI am your friend. Vic Trusler Head Department of Physical Education State Teachers College Emporia, Kansas VT:OB
