Dear Dr Allens

By April 5 we shall know whether the
Phog Allen clinic will be held at Wittenberg
College this summer(by Prudential committee action).

I know that you will want to know, and

I feel like I have been a slow corresponcent
to an anxious entrepreneur, but the facts are
these definitely: this section of the country
and these industrial towns are down in the
mouth; I , for instancd,for the first time
since 1923 am not teaching at night in our
junior college in Dayton because the students
can't buy books and pay tuition.

Of course, we shall want success to follow
the name of Allen everywhere, and neither you
nor I will wish to embark on anything which
which does not presage success. UNDERSTAND,

I have the time to do this work for you, and
I have always been delighted to be associated
with you, and I have been thinking hard on
the whole plan.

There is a possibility of catching a
number of coaches who do not feel like doing
tem or twelve weeks of graduate study this
summer, but who feel that they ought to make
some show of interest in self-improvement.

Of course, I shall not announce anything
about the school until you are satisfied to
take the risk. I will need 25 percent of the
proceeds abové expenses, and the matter of
expenses is important toe FCA: none to FCA
for occupancy of any buildings or terrain,
but much for postage and illustrative materials.
My rough guess is that we will need $400 for
poth. that is lew because we have used $300
for a band clinic here at Wittenberg(June 20-
July 2), andwe circuldized only 2000 persons
It looks like we must have 40 students at
$25 each to assure you $450 for your steady
lecture and demonstration work. All above 40

Students would be most welcome,
