Dear Dick:

T was mighty happy to eee yo inter ef the
27th ultimo and to know that you are getting along fine.
Yes, Dick, I know that everything you wrote is exactly
the truth. It sertainly is a shock for a young fellow
to get the idealistic training that
tional institution and then be met by the hard, cold facts
that we aro meeting a ruthless enemy and that he will re-
sort to any foul means to win.

After all, we have to face reality, and it is a
tough go, but I am sure that we will be equal to the
occasion. We will crack those squareheads, slit-eyes and
spaghetti-benders right in the physiognomy and knock them
oe tape

; I certainly will say hello for you to Mr. Shenk
cs suk ok pow wineg ECE Darel Ont Gens BLE. You
were a fine influence on this campus and you made many
friends, and we hope that it will not be long until you
will be able to return to us shipshape and ready to carry.
on your education which you started here on Nt. Oread.

Remember, wo will always be pulling for you and
wishing you all kinds of luok. We will be happy to hear
from you if and when you have time to write.

With all good wishes, I an

Sincerely yours,
