LaSalle St., Chicago, Illinois May 18, 1939 Mr. Forrest C. Allen Univ. of Sansas Lawrence, Kansas Lear Mr. Allen: I haven't forgotten the request for informationrelative to a physical education man. I find that the men in this field with doctor's degrees are in about the same proportion as an honest man in a bunch of thieves. I do not know of any man in the high schools of this state who is in the physical education department and who has a doctors degree. There are several who are working toward a doctors degree but in most cases this work is being done on the installment plah during summer and it takes a considerable length of time to put in the required time when this plan is in use. One man who has been active in high school and teacher colle*e physical He has been connected with the Southern State Teachers College at Carbondale, tllinois, but took a leave of absence this year to secure a doctors degree at Columbia. As far as I know, he will have this degree bdore the beginning of next school year. He is an energetic 7 a p and is interested in research work of all kinds. I think hé become prominent in his field.

We are also offering graduate — work with a major in Physical Bducatione Our graduate work started last sumer. I am writing you confidentially to see if you think your brother would be interested in this positions I recognize that the Plains States do not offer as lucrative a salary as the Coast schools. I would like tc get your viewpoint regarding the possibility of his being interested in this position before going further I have looked over his credentials and I am very sure . that he would fit very nicely in our scheme of thingse ae It was good to see you in San Francisco and have a visit with yous Very sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education, FCAsAH | Varsity Basketball Coache SAN FOSGE SIATE COLLEGE San Jose, California May 3, 1939 MEN’S PHYSICAL EDUCATION Dr. FeCe Allen Director of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: Your letter of April 27 has been read with considerable interest. I am very happy to know that you are seriously considering my younger brother, Burt, for the vacancy which you have at the University of Kansase In a recent chat with John Bunn, I learned something of the details of the position, and, although I may exemplify too much brotherly love, I am inclined to believe that Burt would fill the vacancy most satisfactorily. He is really an awfully fine kide Perhaps his greatest fault is over-conscientiousness, if there can be such a thinge He has a very lovely wife, and I am sure they would make a welcome addition to your departmente I have just dispatched a letter to Burt, encouraging him to give w& serious consideration to your vacancye From a financial standpoint, it would mean the sacrifice of approximately a thousand: dollars annually, in the aggregate. In exchange, I feel that the opportunity Se working under your fine leadership,in the outstanding program which you have developed,would be well worth this temporary setback. In the long run, it appears to me, that he would probably be well compensated for the temporary losse In view of the fact that it is rather a slow and difficult - se to discuss the matter with him, I trust you will see fit to use me freely as an intermediary. I will be only too glad to handle the expense involved in contacting Burt by wire, in’ the event you are anxious to make an early decision. Following my short acquaintance with you in San Francisco, may 1 say, in all sincerity, that this would appear to me to be an unusually fine opportunity for the kid brother, and I sincerely hope that you decide to offer him the position and that, in turn, he decides to accepte With kindest, personal wishes, I am DSD/ald Director(6f Physical Education Kamehameha School for Boys Honolulu, Hawaii June 3, 1939 Dr. Forrest C.

Specifically, what courses would I teach and what would be the general content of those courses? ee What are the opportunities of advancement from this particular position at the Univer- sity of Kansas, booth from a professional and economic standpoint? The opportunity of working under you in your department is the chief reason I woula accept the position, of course, for that very fact assures professional growth. Will there be opportunity for advancea study and credit during the school year at Kansas, or will my program be too fuil for that? Se in tnat 1 wouia sufier a considerable loss Iinaucialiy oy leaving here, I am definitely interested in the possible salary raise that might be expected at Kansas for the completion of a satisfactory year's work. Is there a salary schedule in operation, or what is the basis for economic advancement? 4. When does school begin in September, 1939, and when would I be expected to report? I would want to arrive before school opens to allow time to become oriented in the job and to find a furnished apartment.
