Dear Phog:

I am interested in getting some
enthusiasm for skiing as a winter sport here,
and find that Finn B. Jensen, who was born in
Iceland and raised in Norway, is a fairly
accomplished skier and would be glad to under-
take coaching of this work-~of course, without
compensation-—in connection with his duties as
a teacher in the Business School.

I talked with the members of the
Athletic Board about it but they thought it
was in the province of physical education as
it was not an intercollegiate sport.

What would you think of having
Mr. Jenson serve as ski coach to help amateur
skiers this winter? As I say, there is no
cuestion of compensation, and no auestion of
formal courses or credits.

Sincerely yours,

[Sia Prat
