Dear Dean Sehwegler:

There are two items that I failed to include
in my letter written to you on October 28, Both concern the
 peereational activity for Summer School, 9Sne has to do with
the social side end the other has to do with the arts appeal.

i have reference to the formation of the
Dames Club in the Summer Session, Picnics, bridge parties,
and teas could be arranged for the Dames of the the sumer school
students. Whomever you eppoint could have charge of this,

be encouraged by their wives to attend the Summer Session
where they too could have some social life. |

fhe other activity has to do with the build-
ing of «a Grecian open-air amphitheatre in Marvin Grove, The

slope in a shady spot in the grove. stone necessary for
the retaining wall for the stage could be had from the old
Snow Hall limestone blocks. The floor of the stage could be
sodded and the natural slope of the would make a splen-

This stage would afford opportunities for
dramatics, musicals, and other outdoor activities of student
production, and woulda provide a retreat in a cool place where

the audience “a be protected against the sweltering summer

After this project had been developed playe
like the Ben Groots ani the Coburn Players could perhaps be

brought in, or the Department of Speech and Dramatic Art could
put on their entertainments here during the swumer for the
students. With the CSEP labor that we have, plus the cut
atones from old Snow Hall assembled back of the office of the
Buildings and Grounds, it appears to me that we have the possi-
bilities of developing something from this idea,

Very sincerely yours,
