THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS

Lawrence

Office of
The Chancellor: December 30, 1941

To Members of the Faculty and Staff:

In the war emergency, there is an oppor-
tunity and a need to economize in various University
physical operations, which will result both in re-
ducing costs here and perhaps in helping with the
materials of war. For instance, we have been asked
to save waste paper, to be baled and returned to
paper factories. We can probably also save in the
use of electric lights and power,

I am asking Mr. Ryther, head of the
University Press, to act as University Conservator,
to work with various members of the staff, faculty,
and administration in effecting worthwhile economies
in the operation of the physical plant of the
University.

He will be glad to receive your comments
and suggestions, and I shall appreciate your cooperat~-
ing with him in any undertaking he may bring to your
attention,

Sincerely yours,

i

Deane W. Malott
DWMsh Chancellor
