Mr. Forrest C. Allen,

Director of Physical Education,
University of Kansas,

Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Doc:

Received your letter regarding Donaldean Maison of
Lyons, Kansas, who was one of the thirty candidates for a
scholarship from the Trust Fund, established by Frank
Phillips Foundation, Inc.

It heppens that I am Secretary of the Committee which
administers the scholarships paid from this Fund; however, the
restrictions in the Fund are rather definite and the Committee
has little flexibility after it has sifted out from the large
number of applicants the ten girls and twenty boys who take the
nation-wide College Entrance Examination Board test.

We have just received from New York the results of
these tests and although the Committee has not yet considered
them and issued the final awards, it appears that Maison's
scores in this test were too low to place him among the six
boys who will receive scholarships. This, of course, is
confidential information and should not be passed on to
Maison until after the public announcement is made. I am
inclosing a booklet of regulations on the scholarship fund
in case you are interested in reviewing same.

From information I obtain here, I take it that all
satisfactory arrangements have been consummat
to Howard Engleman.

 

Sincerely

PE.RB
