Dear Mr. Allen:

I have been slow in writing you and thanking
you personally for coming out to Manhattan. 1 was sorry the program
did not give you more time to talk but I think you understand that
youngsters don't always get things just exactly right and we
believe rather strongly in letting them make their own mistakes
and run their own show.

I have had it in mind fer a number of years to ask you to ce
come oute I want to tell you that the youngsters were mightil
impressed with what you had to say and are still talfing about it.
It is my feeling that we could do quite a lot to improve the
athletic relations between the University and K-State by working
on our own youngsters and graduates, 65 percent of whom go to
K-State. In time they could be a big influence for better sports
smanship at K-State.

    

Thanks again for coming, give my rega o-Henry Shenk,
