The University of Kansas

My dear Dr. Allen:

The Committee on the Administration of the University
Teachers' Diploma sympathetically considered both of
your letters of recommendation but felt that in view
of the fact that it was rigidly insisting on the
scholastic requirements in all other departments
common fairness demanded that the same standards be
asked for in physical education which are currently
observed by other departments of the University.

It is my personal opinion that for the next two or
three years it would be wise to take the attitude

of the committee rather seriously because as soon

as students learn that the committee is quite insist-—
ent upon standards for practice teaching they will
plan to meet the minimum standard in general scholar-
ship and difficulties will disappear as they have
disappeared in connection with all the other divi-
sions of the University which are concerned.

I shall be glad to talk this matter over with you
personally at your convenience if you wish to do
S0.

Sincerely yours,

 

ond A. Schwegler /
Dean
