Dear Er. Forneys

I desire to thank you personally for your
generosity in meking it possible for a very deserving
young man to remain in school. fhis young man's father
wes a Spenish-Americen war veteren ond was killed. The
mother is in the home at Podge City, and the young man
in question had a brother who was killed by ligh
this summer.

This chap is one of the finest young men that
I know of and he is not an athletic tramp by any manner
ef means. He will make a name for himself, and you
without doubt will receive a letter from him. Later on
he will ¢a11 on you in person to thank you. Before he
is out of the University it is my opinion thet his name
will be on the tongues of a great many of the faculty
members end athletic followers. 3

Yr, Hitt, our assistant registrar, hes spoken
of him, saying that he is one of the finest young men
that he had met. He is a fine student, a fine athlete,
end a real gentleman. Ur. Hitt was a Summerfield scholar
and a brilliant teacher of mathematics, so I am sure that
his evaluation is a reali recommendation.

Again thanking you, and assuring you that the
first time I am in Topeka I will stop by to express our

thanks for your generosity, I an — ae
Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation,
PCA:AH Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach.
