Dear Professor Allen:

I am writing to ask you to serve on a committee from —
the faculty and administrative staff of the University in connec-
tion with the Lindley Lectureship fund.

I am sure you saw the original announcement of this
plan to perpetuate the proposed "Plan of Living" which Chancellor
Lindley hoped to carry out. The first story was carried in the
Kansan, then the Graduate Magazine. A general committee has
been functioning among the public generally and graduates and
students in the more populous areas. We have a sizable amount
already in hand.

This has principally been a letter-writing campaign
so that our proposal would be that a letter be sent to each mem-
ber of the faculty and administrative staff over the joint sig-
nature of a faculty committee of eight or ten, giving them the
opportunity of joining in this memorial. In no sense is this a
high-pressure campaign, but because we have received several
calls from individuals on the faculty asking how they might help,
we have determined on the procedure suggested in this letter.

I hope I may have your early acceptance as a member of
this committee, upon receipt of which I will send you a rough
draft of the proposed faculty letter. We want to complete this
well in advance of Commencement.

Anticipating your acceptance of this invitation, I am

Cordially and sincerely yo
