Dear Dr. Allen:

That was mighty fine and kind of you to give the
Kansas Color Press the splendid attention you gave
it last night in your address over KFKU. I want to
personally thank you for all that you said that

evening.

In my judgment you are to be envied for the fine,
high regard which university men, who have been
under your instruction, seemingly universally hold
for you. That admiration is not always the portion
of every instructor. While they have been out of
K. U. about 14 years, all through that period I
have frequently observed that Richard and Will have
always had the happiest of words of commendation
for you. It is not to be wondered at, in view of
their delightful recollections, that when the mat-
ter of a Master of Ceremonies for the night of our
award came up, the thoughts of both turned im-
mediately to you. And your selection was unanimous-—
ly arrived at in less than two seconds flat.

You handled that radio address in a first-class,
entertaining manner. I just want to assure you,
personally, how deeply appreciated it was by the
undersigned. Your good work as Master of Ceremonies
presentation night, together with that fine address,
places us under lasting obligations to you.

Sincerely yours,
