Deax’ Dean Lawson:

I am wondering if it is at all possible for the
University to have required work in Physical Education and
Hygiene for one years If we could separate the Physical
Education and Hygiene and look to each department for the
grades from the respective departments, I believe this would
be handled in a very satisfactory mamer. And I am sure it
would result in much benefit to the students themselves.

The thing that prompted this letter ws a commumica~
tion I received from Professor Robert J. Francis, of the
University of Wisconsin. I am sending you a copy of the same.
I am also sending you a copy of my letter to him.

Previous to the abolition of the requirement of
Physical Education, the University of Kansas had built up
quite a reputation for the work with handicapped students.
You can easily see that since this requirement for physical
education has been abolished these students who need the
do not of themselves volunteer to come in for such correct~
ive

I will be happy to have your reactions

Very cordially yours,
