Dear Dr. Allen,

Finding that you were out of town Saturday May 18
I talked to Mr. DeGroot relative to the advisability of
holding the horse show on the intramural playing field.
There is a very real danger of infecting the field with
tetanus spores, and I would strongly recommend that horses
not be allowed on the field.

As you have long recognized in the care of the
Stadium field, use of artificial fertilizer and motor
equipment is important in avoiding animal contamination
of the field.

Sincerely,

Kaeph. SJ Cmvintierr .
