I am sending you the information that I received from Registrar George 0. Foster, of the University of Kansas, . — i have known young Evans' father, Harold vans, of Kansas City, for a groat many years. I knew him as an undergraduate and a pledge of Phi Kappa Psi, and I have followed him through the years of his Univer- sity course and after his graduation, He was always one of the substantial Phi Psi's, enthusiastic, loyal, ani Gependable. Harold Evans, Sr., always was one of the old boys who came back at the call when the chapter needed him. And he still does the sane, If young Harold Evans is the type of man that his father is, and the feeling among the boys of * the chapter on Mount Oread is that Harold is that type fellow, then I think you need have no worry about the. oan. , I was down at the house for luncheon the other day with Brether Ralph Spotts and his wife, who now live near Los Angeles. I had.an opportunity to speak to young Harold Byans, and my impression is that . he is a fine young man. He seems to morit this from all-of his fellow Phi Psi's, Perheps it might be well to state that in this part of the country when a stwient is not especial ly strong in his acadenie work the University of Kansas will not accept him from a high school out of the state if his grades do not average a “"C" rating, on the basis of A, B, of the high school C, D, without the recommendation principal of the out of state school.

The case’was diagnosed as intestinal influenza, but he hes some trouble with the blood corpuscles, The granular type and the oval type are just reversed, which any physician would say is not a healthy condition, so they have him over there under observation, I wish you would keep this in entire confidence as the physicians, of course, would not want to spread — a statement as it might give rise to wild rumor. I would say that the boy has a serious illness, but one which, I hope, is amenable to treatment. They have not been ab "to éiagnose the case as yet, although he is much better and more hopeful of a speedy recovery.

Allen Director of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: Your letter forwarded here, and I am glad to re- ceive it. All was set for another man and myself at Norton- ville, I would have Science and Math., coach basket ball, and help in track - the other man teach Commerce and coach base ball, and track. Supt. Stover called me to confer with him in Kansas City, and that day the other man accepted a better salary elsewhere. Then Supt. S. tried to find another man to teach Commerce, and assist in coaching, but was unable to find one at his salary offer. Then he decided to take another (younger) man for coaching, and use a woman for Commerce. We employed the Commercial teacher he intended to use - had called her to come to Nortonville. Had the first plan gone thru, perhaps I would be in Nortonville. But, delay there, and I accepted here one day before final word from Nortonville. A much better sal- ary offer here, altho a fair one, only. We have a new school plant about half completed, and school is moving along - soft ball season now. Soon we will start basket ball, and I have some fair material from last season.
