copy SAN JOSE STATE COLLEGE San Jose, California May 3, 1939 Dr, F sce. Allen Director of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dre Allen: Your letter of April 27 has been read with considerable interest. I am very happy to lmow 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 Bum, I learned something of the details “a... the position, and, although I may exemplify too much brotherly love, I eam in- @lined to believe that Burt aula fill the vacancy most satisfactorily. He is really an awfully fine kid. Perhaps his greatest fault is over-conscientious- ” - ness, if there can be such a things He has a very lovely wife, and I am sure they would make a welcome addition to your department. I have just dispatched a letter to Burt, encouraging him to give © | 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 opportumity of working wmder your fine leadership, in the outstanding program which you have developed, would be well worth this temporary setback. In the long rug, it appears to me, that he would probably be well compensated for the temporary loss. In view of the fact that it is rather a slow and difficult process for you to discuss the matter with him, I trust that you will see fit to use me freely as an intermediary, I will be only too glad to handle the expense in- volved in contacting Burt by wire, in the event you are anxious to make an early decisions Following my short acquaintance with you in San Franciwoo, may I say, in all sincerity, that this would appear to me to be an unusually fine oppor- tunity for the kid brother, and I sincerely hope that you decide to offer hin. the position and that, in turn, he decides to accepte With kindest, personal wishes, I am Cordially yours, (Signed) DUDLEY S. DeGROOT DSD/ald Director of Physical Education Notice to Instructors Your attention is called to a rule of the University requiring that examinations be held for all students during the last days of the semester. To avoid confusion, the examination schedule and the accompanying regulations should be followed strictly by all concerned, except that any necessary departures from the reg- ular schedule and regulations may be made only for good reasons and after advance written request by the instructor and approval by the Examinations Committee, Professor M. E. Rice, Chairman. Regular classes with laboratory work only will be examined as other classes except that the hour may be any one of the several hours scheduled in the laboratory period, the choice to be made by the instructor after consultation with the students and with other instructors concerned. Irregular appointment classes and appointment laboratory classes will be examined at the time to be set by the instructor after consultation with the students and with any other instructors concerned. In case this option is insufficient to avoid conflicts, the instructors concerned will submit in advance for approval by the Examinations Committee a written substitute schedule of examination hours for the conflicting courses. In case of mixed courses in which the laboratory work dces not come at the same hour as the class work, the examination may be scheduled in either of the following ways: (1) a single examination covering both the class and the laboratory work at the time scheduled for the class hours; (2) two examinations, one for the class work at the time scheduled for the i hours and one for the laboratory work at the time scheduled for the laboratory periods When a three-hour course is scheduled on Tuesday and Thursday at one hour and on an- other day at the same or a different hour, the examination should be given as for a two-hour course at the Tuesday and Thursday hour, but the examination may use 3 hours except on the last day of the examination schedule. Likewise, when a two-hour course is scheduled on M, W, F, or on any two of these days, the examination should be given as for a three- hour course on the M, W, F, hour, but the examination may use only 2 hours. The School of Law is authorized to make its own examination schedule provided that it take care of all non-law students without causing them conflicts with their other examina- tions. The School of Medicine (this does not include pre-medical courses) is authorized to make its own examination schedule provided that it take care of all non-medical students without causing them conflicts with their other examinations. Entrance Examinations may be taken from June 1 to June 8 inclusive. Persons wishing to take such examinations should arrange with Professor M. E. Rice, 202 Blake Hall, on or before May 29 for definite appointments. E. H. LINDLEY, Chancellor.

The form for the title page may be obtained at the Graduate Office. The thesis must ordinarily contain a table of contents and a bibliography. References may be made by footnotes at the bottom of the page or by notes and references collected at the end of the thesis. The original and the first carbon copy of the thesis, each bound in cloth, must be deposited in the Graduate Office not later than June 6 The binding can be done satis- factorily by the Journal-World or the Ochse Printing Shop. The general examination over the major field must be held not later than May 29. Arrangements for this examination should be made with the major department. In order to secure the degree, candidates who are in residence during the second semester must be present in academic costume at the commencement exercises. Candidates will be excused from attendance only in case satisfactory reasons are presented in advance.

DISSERTATION The Use of the Pulse-Ratio Test for Detecting Non-Compensated Organic Lesions of the Heart Preliminary studies by Sievers? and others suggested that the pulse-ratio test or the response of the heart to exercises of graded intensity may serve as a basis for detecting non-compensated hearts. In order to establish the validity of the pulse-ratio test as a means of detecting non-compensated organic lesions of the heart, it was given to 107 subjects who had been diagnosed as having some form of heart disease. On the basis of the differences between the experimental and the caleulated pulse-ratios as recorded in this study, the pulse- ratio test appears to be valid as a means of detecting non-com- pensated organic lesions of the heart. No indication as to the nature of the lesion is furnished by the data. Seventy-five replies to one hundred questionnaires sent to mem- bers of college student health departments indicate their belief that information should be obtained by the lay instructor relative to the possibility of the presence of non-compensated heart lesions. These replies reveal also that the student health profession has no simple test for organic lesions which might be used by the lay instructor, and further indicate that there is need for such a test. 1 Sievers, Henry: ‘‘A Simple Method of Detecting Abnormal Hearts by the Use of the Pulse-ratio Test.’’ Research Quart., 1935, 6: (May, 1935) 31-38.

Dear Mr, Allen: I have your letter of May 12th, but I am in no position to help you, since we are not having any retrench- ment or reductions in salaries in St. Louis. We have no one here that compares with Dr. lapp, whom you secured from Kansas City. The best bet that I know of is Joy Kistler at the Uni- versity of Iowa. He is an outstanding man with a doctor's degree, but I do not know whether you can pay his price. Out- side of him, I have no one in mind. \ Yours very truly; \ ERSON, Director jon and Recreation AOA MT Physical Edu DEPARTMENT OF INSTRUCTION May 17, 1939 Dr. Forrest C. Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kensas Dear Phog: Thanks for your highly complimentary letter of May 12. I am only sorry I can't be of as much service to you as I might wish, Offhand, I can think of no young fellow with a PhD. I would care to recommend to you. I do have in mind one of the fellows I wrote you about 4 couple of years ago, who is well on his way toward a PhD., who still might be interested, I think, in your situation and who would continue work, I believe, on his PhD. until he secured it. This young fellow is Nicholas Schreiber, about whom I wrote you under date of May 3, 1937. Schreiber has a lot of ability, excellent personality, is hard-working, ambitious, progressive, etc., etc. I would have no hesitancy in recommending him to you without any qualifying remarks, Nicholas Schreiber would make good, I am sure. I think he also might be in your price range, It may be, of course, that since I saw him last he has changed his mind about continuing in physical education, but if he has not, he would make you an excellent man. I will keep this matter in mind, and as I come across names of people who, in my judgment, could fill your bill, I will write you about them, I will be glad to do something on the eleven=-foot basket, but of course can't start any active work on it until next Fall. We have a couple or three excellent fellows here who would give it thought- ful attention and in whose judgment I have a good bit of faith. When they have finished a study on it, I shall feel that I have something really worthewhile to report. I will give them your points as outlined in the memorandum you gave us at the Rules Committee meeting and will have something, I feel sure, that will be positive and cerry with it some degree of assurance, ADDRESS ALL CORRESPONDENCE FOR THE ATTENTION OF THE PERSON SIGNING Dr. Forrest C. Allen May 17, 1939 I can't begin to tell you how mich I look forward to the Rules Committee meetings. I have come to enjoy my contacts with you fellows, and by you fellows I mean you, John Bunn and men of that kind who have positive viewpoints but who are open-minded, forceful and charitable of the other fellow's opinions. It is truly a privilege to meet annually with fellows like that. With personal regards, and assuring you Iwill not forget this matter, I am & Sincerely yours es Floyd A.
