March 51, 1945 Dr. F. ©. &lien Department of Physical Education University of Kansas Dear Mr. Allen: Mr. Bill Bass, who has eight unexcused absences in Physical Conditioning has been to see me. He states that all his absences werecCdue to a persistent cold, but that after obtaining some excusés from the University Hospital, he did not go back for more. Somehow, and that was probably his fault, he did not succeed in-getting excused by his instructor. Dr. Reese gives him a good character, and I am convinced after talking with him that he was not trying to evade the course. Therefore our committee is allowing him to remain in school and our recommendation to you is that some, if not all, of his absences be counted as excused. Very truly yours, Baca is
