Lawrence, Kansas
October 24, 1940

Dear Faculty Member ;~

May I paraphrase the old English slogan, "There will always be an England"
with "There will always be an America and an England." Home and neighbor are
the warp and the woof of American virility and democratic hospitality. We
recognize the needs of our neighbors and we unfailingly respond to these needs
founded upon helpful service.

The Community Chest idea is founded upon the principles of democracy. Each
of us give to a fund where all beneficiaries are aggregated and one single drive
is made, For some of these activities it is thinkable that we would have no con=
tribution; for others we give annually. A budget has been made and I am enclosing
it herewith to show you the beneficiaries of the plan,

The Lawrence, Kansas Community Chest Campaign is to be inaugurated on
October 29, 50 and 31, The Community Chest is an incorporated body authorized
under the laws of Kansas with a constitution and by-laws. The officers are
_ Mr. George Lowman, Prof. JeQ« Jones, Messrs. Ruben Fox, FeC. Whipple and
~~ Charles Louke

The total budget for Lawrence this year is $7546,00, The Christmas Pros
gram and the Fourth of July Celebration are listed separately and are not incor»
\\ porated in the financial estimates on this statement; rather, there will be a
¥ perforated card attached, The giving of funds for these two items will be
Y - entirely optional.

\ , You ¢an see by the list enclosed that the KeUe "Y.M." and "YW." are not
included, The executives stated that it was their hope next vear to have these

\ \y two hill organizations includede The Red Cross does not wish to be includeds
Sy \W I understand their organization is opposed to such an arrangement.

vt Chest Campaign, and have noted the splendid response they have been making to a

\Ay\ worthy causée There will be no pressure exerted here in Lawrence on anybody by
)) : anyone, In fact, we desire you to give only as your @onscience and your pocketbook
\\ dictate. Chancellor Malott has approved the Community Chest drive here on the Hills
