On looking within I found a copy of your new bOOK. I want to thank you very, very much indeed for your gen- erous thoughtfulness in this connection. I have looked it over with much interest and want to congratulate you upon the book as a book and on the really interesting and stimulating way in which you present your case. Long may the book live, and generously may it contribute to the author's health, length of life, and success? With best seasonal greetings for yourself and family, I beg to remain, Sincerely yours, Geteober SO, 1937.

There has been a thought in the back of my mind for quite some time that we should rehabilitate Potter's Lake, With a touch of , landscaping and grading and sanding of the beach Potter's Lake could be made an enviable retreat. At a later time a larger expenditure would make that a thing of beauty and of joy for the young people in the summer with possible skating facilities in the winter, It is possible that we could even prepare this for the summer if we had a small budget, F.C.A, Deen Ry, 4¢ Senwe Sehooi of Sducation Dear Dean Sehweglor: it just occurred to ms that in the future we covle ase our majors in the Department of fhysieal iducation for officiating the intremural games, This is « training that every major in Physical Udyueation should have.

Thank you for the copy of your letter. November 9, 1957 Prof. J. H. Belson College Office University of Kansas My dear Prof. Nelson: — The progran far freshmen and new stadents printed for 1937 did not contain notice of a meeting of the fresh- men in the School of Bducation, probably because this is the first year that we have admitted freshmen. I am wondering if next year at the time when other fresh- men are meeting by schools it might not be well to plan for a meeting of the freshmen and new stadents in the School of Education at some convenient place, either in the gymnasium or in Fraser Hall. If you wish, either Pr. Allen or I shall be glad to eon- fer with you about this before the program for 1958 is printed. — Sincerely yours, Reymond A. Schwegler Dean - ‘November 26, 1957.

Allen Head, Physical Fducation Department Robinson Gymnasium My dear Dr. Allen: Dr. Canuteson, under date of November 20, has sent us the following information, which I em sure you will be interested in: "I saw Marion M. Manderson on November 11, 1937. Aside from his apparent nervous instability I found that his vision was very poor and he has only slight correction. He assured me that he had been given as much correction as was possible by Dr. Curran and an optometrist whom he felt was more capable than Dr. Curran. He has a persistent heart murmur which I have diagnosed as evidence of rheumatic heart disease. He has a potential umbilical hernia. From his conver- sation and responses to my questions I judged his mentality is not up to normal. The report on the Wassermann test, both the Kahn and Kolmer are negative.” Ai ahey Sincerely yours, Mreiige ~ A. Schwegler : an R November 3, 1937. Dean R, A, Sehwegler, School of Education. Dear Dean Sehwegler: Z would like to eall your attention to the meeting of the Physical Education majors in the Union Builds ng at 7 o'clock Thursday evening, November 4, The price of the tiekets for the dinner is 40¢, We would be happy to have come to this meeting if you find it convenient, However, | imagine you are very busy et this time, and if you have to choose between two meetings, I suggest you choose the other meeting. | 7 The Co-op Club is giving a banquet to the footbell team at the Country Club Thursday evening, and they have obtained Mr, E, C, Quigley as chief speeker. This will, of course, cut down to a great degree the attendance at our meeting, but it is getting rather late and we felt that we should have our first organization meeting, at least, and have the officers elected. With all good wishes, I eam Sineerely yours, FCAsAH Director of Physical Education. OFFICE OF THE DEAN oe THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS SCHOOL OF EDUCATION LAWRENCE October 27, 1937 Dr. F. C.
