Department of Physical Education

My dear Dr. Allen:

We are constantly looking for ways and means of clar-—
ifying our enrollment schedules in the hope of avoiding
difficulties in enrollment. May I suggest, therefore,
that it would seem to be advisable to print in the schedule
the date on which the second half semester's work in the
various exercise classes begins. There are various reasons
for this suggestion, one of them being that the boys enrolled
for the first half of the semester in Varsity Athletics may
not know that the second half semester of exercise begins
before they may be through with the Varsity Athletics of
the first half of the semester. At any rate, I make this
as a suggestion for your consideration, If you adopt the.
suggestion, I think the date should be printed for the
beginning of the second half semester's work in both the
fall and spring catalogues.

I intend to present your request for a course in
equitation to the next meeting of the Administrative Com—
mittee. For the information of the committee will you be
kind enough to tell us what the cost to the students for
the horses will be and also for how much time per week
the student will rent the horse. I am particularly con-
cerned about the name of this course. To a simple minded
citizen like myself the name, “Equitation," sounds terribly
hicghefaluting. Personally I would prefer something simpler,
such as, “Horseback Riding.” I can just imagine students
saying, “Here I go for my daily equitation/" Of course,
that might be one point to call particular attention to
the new course. At any rate, I wish you ultra-moderns
micsht at least consider the point of view of an old moss—
back in this matter.

Sincerely yours,

ae
Md ann
