Dear Dr. Allens

I was quite elated to know that you are taking time from a busy
schedule to give us your services on Saturday evening, December
14. I know that you will find an eager group as an audience at
this meeting.

We, of course, will pay for your trip so that you will be out no
money. Our regret is that we are not able to pay an honorarium
above expenses.

The Saturday night dinner meeting is one which follows a break for
recreation in our conference. From 4:00 to 63:00 the boys are free
from meetings and so will come back refreshed and relaxed. Our con-
ference theme, as you know, is "Seeing Life Whole." I note that
you have stated it "We Live Whole." I wonder if that would not be a
good topic for your talk. I would not want you to necessarily stay
by our theme, but would want you to bring in experiences out of your
long background of coaching and dealing with persons who are close
to you in your sports and physical educetion. Therefore, I should
like to have you feel free to talk in these general terms. If this
is agreeable to you, I should like a word from you to that effect so
we can give title to your address.

Again thanking you for acceptance, I am
Sincerely yours,

Leo L. Gessell
Program Secretary
