My dear Dr. Allen:

   
  

I have investigated rather frilly the contents of the letter
from Dean Paul B. Lawson, addressg@@ to you. I should like to point
out a few facts concerning the rors indicated in Dean Lawson's
letter. According to Miss Hoover, the probable reason for the
error in reporting Miss McNowh's grade was due to misscopying of
the grade from the total enfollment book. The grads above Miss
McNown's name was a C and Miss Ulm in copying the grade evident
made that error,

In regard to Mr. Thornton McClanahan's gradé it ds
understanding that an individual enrolled as anfauditow sh
appear on the college class grade sheets. UndeR-swuch condi

then, as it appears to me the error was not Miss Ulm's but
some error in the reporting at the college office. Mr. McClaria
name evidently appeared on the grade sheets. If Mr. McClanaha

obtained an auditors card from the college office such a reeord ‘
should have been on file at the college office,

 
     
 
 
  
   

I might point out that we might have caught that error
here if Miss Dunkel, who had the class originally, had reported Mr,
McClanahan as an auditor. However as I suggested above the error
seems to have originated with the college office.

In checking with Dr, Elbel and Miss Hoover, it has been our
observation that fewer errors have occured this semester than in
previous years. We do not attempt to say that we will make no
errors but rather that we shall keep errors down to the lowest
humanly possible level, ;

  
  
 
  

     
 
 

Dean Lawson enumerates five points in his letter which he
suggests that our instructors should carefully observe. I am

taking this opportunity of r tablishing in the minds of the
members of our department es bs S0E EE Phee—potnts.

id This semester cards, for fencing classes and swimming

asses have been sent to Dr. Hlbel or Mr. DeGroot whereas Aheir
ames are not listed as instructors in charge of those classes, May
\: suggest that activity course cards be sent to me so that I might

 

thereby clear the names in our total enrollment book.

May I point out again that we are trying to keep and have
kept errors down to less than previous years, May I also suggest
that any dpfficulties arising be cleared through me since I will
have a master enrollment book,
