Physical Education Department
University of Kansas

My dear Dr. Allen:

You probably appreciate more than anyone else the difficulties
and embarrassments that grow out of the failure of students to
maintain satisfactory scholastic standing, especially when such
failure results in ineligibility at crucial moments. Whatever
we may think of the relationship existing between the Univer'sity
group and athletic performance, a realistic approach to the
Situation reveals that the reputation and goodwill of the Univer-
sity are at stake, which in the last analysis translates itself
into public support.

You will, I am sure, be interested to know that Mr. Mano W. Stukey
has been charged with the task of maintaining contact with every
instructor on the Hill who has in his classes students who are
participating in public athletic activities. He will need your
sympathetic cooperation in order that he may be able to discover
before it is too late such irregularities and inadequacies as can
be remedied by personal conference and other legitimate forms of
assistance.

May we count on your cooperation? Will you kindly pass the word
along to the instructors in your department in order that when
Mr. Stukey presents himself for information concerning specific
individuals he may be recognized as performing an official func-
tion, which, I believe, will be helpful not only to the students
involved but also to all the rest of us. I know of nothing that
can be painlessly Gone that will bring larger returns in public
goodwill.

Thanking you for your cooperation, I am
