My dear Dr. Allen:

Dr. Canuteson wrote me under date of March 6, stating
that at the entrance physical examination of Shirley
Helen Shupe on on September 19, 1938, she had an ele—
vated blood pressure. On several occasions the read-
ing has been found higher than normal. Laboratory
tests to date do not show any cause for this condi-
tion. The student has been asked to come into the
hospital as soon as the present mild epidemic is over
to have additional tests.

Dr. Canuteson recommends that with a consistently
high blood pressure she should not be enrolled in
physical education.
I would suggest that you confer with Miss Shupe
and would advise that we cooperate with the hospital
in following out Dr. Canuteson's recommendation.
Sincerely yours,

ond A. Schwegler /
