Dear Dr. Allen:

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer
my inguiries so completely during your rush period at the
close of the school year. Your reply has made me very
enthusiastic concerning the opportunities at the University
of Kansas and the new school term cannot begin too goon
for me.

I like the courses and the work you have indicated will
be my assignment itor next year. I believe I can carry out
all the assignments except the course in kinesiology;

I reaily am not prepared to teach that this year. While we
are on the topic of courses for next year, 1 would like to
ask a few more questions: How is the school year divided at

‘Kansas, into quarters or semesters? What is the length of
the courses you have indicated that I am to teach, that is, history
> and principles and track and fieldy one year, semester or

quarter? Do you have an estavlished syllavus in history and

principles or am I to make up my own coursé?’ Are the courses
chiefly lecture, discussion group or comoination? What
texts are used?

I quite agree with you that my first year at Kansas
should ve aevoted entirely to my teuching and my own general
orientation. My inquiry as to obtaining credit for advanced
work Was made With an eye to the later, rather than immediate,
futuree Jl am very happy to know that the opportunity for
advanced credit will be available to me at Kansas.

Your offer to aid us in finding an apartment in Lawrence
is very kind. If you do have the time later in the summer,
we would greatly appreciate your help in this matter. Would
September the first be an early enough date to begin paying rent
in order to secure a fairly good apartment or must one be
secured earlier? We do not have any children; therefore our
apartment would not have to be very large, but we would like
one completely furnished and one in which the heat is also
furnished. I have no idea what rental rates are in Lawrence,
but in that we are not exactly rolling in wealth this year,
economy is a very definite factor for us. Perhaps, at your
leisure, you could give us some ideas on rental rates.
