Allen Department of Physical Education The University of Kansase Dear Dr. Allens I am very interested in your proposal concerning air conditioning in the Union Building. The idea has been Gurrent for some time and the main obstacle seems to be the expense involved. The high ceiling of the ballroom makes for a costly installation and the only feasible suggestion seems to apply to some of the smaller rooms which would serve only a limited clientele. However, thank you for your interest and let me assure you we will keep the matter alive for such time as funds and improved methods of air conditioning will permit. Cordially yours, <7 CVensnr.
