Copy of Confidential Communication
to the Appointment Secretary
Stanford University, Calif.

February 18, 1956

I have known Mr. Edward B. De Groot, Jr. intimately during the
past six years, and he has been a pupil in a number of my classes
in physical education. He has always appealed to me as the type
of individual who is most desirable for our teaching profession.
He is a thorough student, a clear and independent thinker, and

I consider him to have the best qualities for successful leader-

ship of young people.
