Copy of Confidential Communication : e to the Appointment Secretary Stanford University, Calif. March 21, 1955 Mr. E. B. DeGroot has been under observarion of members of the Staff of the School of Uygiene and Physical Education during the past three or four years. During that time he has impressed us all as being well above the average scholasti- eally, athletically, and in general ability. He is earnest, reliable, and exhibits a considerable degree of initiative. We believe that he has a personality that will take him a long way in whatever field he decides finally to enter. I hope that he will go on in his preparation for work in the pro- fessional field of Physical Education. This hope is shared by my conferees here at the University. Thomas A.
