Director of Physical Education
University of Kansas

Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Sir:

I was very much pleased to get your letter mention-
ing Mr. George Dick as a possibility for the physical
education job here. Will you please ask him to write
me concerning his major and minor fields and general
qualifications. Also we would like him to state the
salary he would expect.

What we want in this position is a man with the
enthusiasm and the ability to head a physical education
program including athletics which will bring about the
proper physical development and foster good attitudes
on the part of the boys. We hope to have a continuous
program beginning at about the fifth grade level and
continuing on up through the high school. Winning teams
are not the primary consideration but I believe we have
material that could be developed in due time. If the
physical education instructor could also handle one
other class it would help our schedule. The subject
might be arranged to fit his majors and minors.

My idea in asking him to state the salary he would
think fair is to give us a basis for agreement, so that
he will feel that the job here is comparable to others
that might develope later in the season.

We appreciate your efforts in our behalf,
Very truly yours,

EGF x
