OFFICE OF THE DEAN

Mr. Jimmie Gordon
Neodesha, Kansas

Dear Mr. Gordon:

In your reply to the high school questionnaire sent you last spring by
the Extension Divisions of the five state schools you indicated that
you were interested in college or university work, Consequently, I am
writing to place before you a few significant facts concerning the
University of Kansas.

You indicate in your questionnaire that you are interested in becoming &
physical director, May we call your attention to the fact that the School
of Education is now offering a four-year course in Physical Education which
is second to none in scope and thoroughness, It provides not only sound
training in the sciences underlying physical activities, but offers oppor-
tunity to master the usual school sports under the direction of coaches
with nation-wide reputation. In addition, the course is so planned as to
provide a teaching minor, which will enable the student to secure a state
certificate enabling him to teach in any high school in Kansas, The ap-
pointment bureau assists graduates in securing desirable teaching positions,

I wish to call your attention to the relatively low cost of attending
the University. In Liberal Arts, Education, Engineering, Fine Arts,
pre-business, pre-law, and pre-medicine the incidental fees, which cor-
respond to tuition fees, are only $25 per semester, In Business, Law,
Pharmacy, and Medicine they are slightly higher. Other fees, such as
those for matriculation, the student health service, and student acti-
vities, are so moderate that they are among the lowest found in any
standard university. ;

Information concerning living expenses and self-support can be found on
pages 25 and 26 of Section I of the University Catalog, a copy of which
is being mailed to you. You will note that living costs are reasonable
and that there are many opportunities for self-support.

The University is a democratic place. Working students are held in high
regard and probably carry off more than their share of Hill honors.
Through an advisory system, the new student is quickly brought into touch
with faculty members. A close, friendly relationship with the faculty
develops as students advance through their university years.

If you are interested in further information about this or any other
division, I hope you will write me. A copy of Section II of the Catalog,
containing the announcement of courses, will be sent you on request,

Let me assure you of a hearty welcome if you come to K. U.

    
 
 

Sincerely yours,

xaymond A. Schwegler, Dean.
