Dean George B. Smith,
School of Education.

Dear Dean Smith:

For years we have been struggling to make the University golf
course as attractive as possible. We have had some coopergtion
from the past administration, and I hesitate to go to the new
administration to kick on this small thing. I learn that ten or
fifteen new trees have recently been planted in the Sairways.

I have had several problems with Mr. Payles of a more major nature
than the fow trees that are plented in our fairways annually. And

I am not asking you to protest to either lir. Bayles or the Chaneellor,
but I would like for you to know of the fact that we are struggling
to have ean attractive golf course. It is only for the purpose of
giving you the information to use at an opportune time that I am
passing this on to yous. I would like to discuss it with you some
time.

I appreciate the necessity of landscape gardening on this beauti-
ful Mount Oread, and a tree planted here and there on our golf
course would not be noticed at the present time by the public.

It is just ancther hazard that might be forgotten vy the planter
for the time being. But apparently ow appeals to the responsible
people have been of no avail.

Very sincerely yours,

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