May 3, 1945 Assistent Dean of the College University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear lis Ulmer, John Asher is not physically sick. He wents very much to go into the navy but has been urged to stay in school. As a result he is in a constant state of instability. He has not attended physical conditioning regularly but has played golf frequently which probably substitutes sufficiently. I eannot recommend formal excuse from physical conditioning but I feel thet there are extenuating circumstances and the boy should be given every possible consideration, erent Sincerely, Ralph I+ Canuteson, M.D. Director RICek ec to Drs Fe Ce Allen to DrĀ» Graham Asher
