THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS SCHOOL OF EDUCATION LAWRENCE OFFICE OF THE DEAN September 28, 1938 Dr. F. C. Allen Robinson Gym. My dear Dr. Allen: I have your two communications of September 22, one with reference to the visit of the Chancellor to the gymnasium and the other your recuest for suggestions concerning the condition of the gymnasium. I want to congratulate you upon having the Chancellor over. I think it was a step that is likely to prove productive in the changes which you feel should be made. Referring to your second question, namely ways and means of silencing criticism, my suggestion is that the matter ought to be handled through the committee on university athletics. It seems to me that that committee might well be asked to make an inspection and that such suggestions as they may have may be taken under serious consideration -~if necessary presented to the university budget committee for early consideration. It seems to me that proper publicity for such moves when determined upon will silence the opposition, a Sincerely yours, Tard R
