Chancellor Ernest H. Lindley

Dear Chancellor Lindley:

May I direct your attention for a moment to the value of
tennis in your athletic program?

Tennis is a sport which develops self-control, courage and
determination, and at the same time emphasizes fair play, con-
sideration towards one's opponent, and good sportsmanship. Tennis
is a sport in which a large percentage of your students can par-
ticipate and can continue to play throughout middle age. Tennis
can be developed economically on college courts without interfer-
ing with studies.

The United States Lawn Tennis Association is interested in re
cooperating with college authorities to stimulate interest in the 2
game, and our services are offered without charge, whenever we can

be of help.

Some colleges have asked for our cooperation in holding Tennis
Clinics for one, two, or three days at which the college coach
gives instruction in "the essential strokes to schoolboys within
a radius of perhaps 50 miles of the college. The enelosed Service
Bulletin tells, in some detail, about the Tennis Clinic and if
our Association can be of service in this, or in any other way
to develop interest in the game, we shall be glad to hear from you.

Yours very truly,

Mitek ed
