THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE OFFICE OF THE CHANCELLOR November 20, 1939 Dy. F. C. Allen University of Kansas Dear Phog: Just a line to express my personal appreciation and that of the University for the grand job you and the other members of the committee did in connection with the University exhibit at the National Cornhusking Contest. Ever so many people have spoken to me about how interesting they thought the display was, and I know how much time and energy you and the other men on the committee gave to make the project a success. It was a fine job, and I am sure the University gained immeasurable good will from it. Sincerely yours, GY S&P R Deane W. Malott, Chancellor Novenber 25, 1939« State University of Kansas.

Allen 105 Robinson Gym Campus Dear Phog: A week or so was needed to permit me to recover from the job of putting on the Resource-Full Kansas Exhibit, and accordingly this letter is less immediate than it should have been as acknowledgment and sincere thanks for your important share in this undertaking. Commendations in strongest terms have been expressed on all sides. I hope that all who saw the exhibit went away with the impression expressed by one well-known state official, "It was the best presentation of Kensas I have ever seen." It is disappointing, however, that really so few Kansas people had opportunity to see the exhibit. Possibly future opportunities with improvements will partly remedy that. I want you to know that without the fimwst sort of cooperation on all sides a very successful Resource-Full Kansas Exhibit could not have been or- ganized and carried through. With my sincere thanks for your aid, I an, truly Raymond Ci Moore National Cornhusking Contes Laurence, ‘Kansas --- Wov. I, 2, 3, 1939 ee RESOURCE-FULL KANSAS EXHIBIT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE KENNETH K.

November 1, 2, 3, 1959 Purpose. ‘The National Cornhusking Contest will bring to Lawrence on November 1, 2, 3, 1939 some 150,000 people, mostly a very substantial class of farmers. According to estimate, about two-fifths of the expected crowd will come from Kansas and the remainder from other states. This gathering has been made the occasion for extensive demonstrations by commercial organizations of all types of farm equipment, and in addition, it has seemed desirable for the State of Kansas to prepare a display for the purpose of advertising its resources and important achievements. Such a display should be informative to Kansans and a feature of interest to out-of-state visitors. The aim of the R&SOURCH-FULL KANSAS #XHIBIT is to give clear presentation of the varied physical resources of the Stato, charactoristics of its human ro- sources, and work along many lines in devclopment of those resources leading to production of wealth, culture, and general well being in Kansas. Organization. Exhibits will bo grouped in four main divisions that cor- respond to the formula: NATURAL RESOURCES + PHOPLE + WORK = ACHIEVEMENT (1) Exhibits relating to tho Natural Resources of Kansas will appropri- atoly undertake to indicate the environment of the Stats, its geographic setting, nature of the land surface, climate, soils, surface and underground water sup- plies, richness in minoral doposits, and character of its plants and animals. (2) Tho People of Kansas include a romnant of its carly Indian popula- tion, descondants of pionoor whito sottlers of variod national origins, later immigrants, and a host of nativo Kansans belonging to recent decades. Exhibits to show tho background and present status of Konses population according to various groupings, its distribution, education, occupation, health, and social, roligious and civil organization are pertinent to a well-rounded picture of our State. (3) Work in Kansas comprises all activities, individual and colloctivc, of the people in utilizing physical resources and factors of their environment. Here belong exhibits relating to agriculturo, the mincral industries, manu- facturing, marketing and trade, transportation, communication, banking and in- surance, professional services, public utilitios, cultural pursuits, and recreation. (4) Achiovement is the product of work by poople in development of Kenscs rosources. Exhibits showing the total and por capita wealth in various cate- gorios, physical improvemonts of the country, cultural accomplishments, and the nature of institutions and organizations, including departments of State govern-= ment, belong herc. The oxhibits, os outlined, are being prepared by the several State de- partments and institutions and by a few other agencies. The displays will bo arranged in booths 10 feet deep by 10, 20, 30 or more feet in width. About 90 space units 10 by 10 feet will be requirod, and adjoining these, provision is being made for some commercial exhibits, primarily related to development of Kansas. Tho RSSOURCE-FULL KANSAS EXHIBIT will bo housed in a very fine, nearly brand new tent moasuring 80 feet wide and 500 feet long. This tent, with a specially constructed attractive entrance ways bearing the name of the Exhibit, will occupy the center of tho Midway field, which is located next to the Contest field, about threo miles northeast of Lawrence. Although the Exhibit entails very considerable cost, no charge for display space is assessed on State departments and institutions, because this cost has been covered by legislative appropriation.
