Dr. F.C. Allen, Dean
Department of Physical Educatio
Kansas University

Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Dr. Allen:

Verifying the conversation held with you last week, I am sure
that if given proper assurance by your department we could
arrange courses to be held here in Kansas City this winter and
taught by Dr. Lapp.

Before leaving Lawrence, I talked to several of the men in that
class that are convenient to Kansas City and four of us signified
our desires to take additional work with Dr. Lapp. I have since
talked to several men in Kansas City and I believe that we can
organize a class on graduate level of about ten men and probably
more.

Without polishing apples, I would like to say that the course

with Dr. Lapp this summer was one of the finest I have ever had

in Physical Education. I learned more statistics in that class

in one week than I learned in the regular educational statistics
class in a whole eight weeks period. Dr. Lapp has a wide know-
ledge of Physical Education tests, their administration and
instruction. If I am able to get back to Lawrence next summer

I would like very much to have other courses in Physical Education.

I think Kansas University is to be congratulated on the institu-
tion of this new department as it certainly has been needed in

this part of the country for the past ten or fifteen years, and
I know of no one I would rather see as head of the department

than yourself.
Sincerely es
