desired that the individuals give only as their conscience and their
pocketbook dictated. I also mentioned the fact that Chancellor Malott

pproved the Community Chest Drive here on the Hill. The letter
then stated "The chairman is asking one of the following g#oup of
faculty members to call upon ‘in your building in an effort to make
your solicitation somewhat ier and more efficient." A list of the
solicitors followed, then? "In the name of some of those less fortunate
than we, I am, Sincerely yours, Forrest Ce. Allen, Chairman, University
Committee."

This letter was delivered to the University postoffice‘the night
before the drive started so that it wowld get into the 8:00J” Tt was
planned that this letter would be ae the faculty members and the >
employeeds at the eleventh hour prior to the workers oresenting their
pledge cards on the opening day of the drive.

. We then personally contacted every solicitor over the telephone, ©
pointing out the necessity of getting on the job and staying with it until
we had gone over the top, if possible, the first daye I am now listing
the names of the workers together with the amount of the donations that
they turned in at the office of the Physical Rducation Department, which
was our headquarters for the drives.
