1100 Indiana Street
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Frank:

I acknowledge receipt of your good letter written last
Monday afternoon. You asked if I have any suggestions. I made the contri-
bution to Dolph Simons to send on to Larry yet I made this comment:-that
it was about high time that the youngsters of the Phi Psi house not be so
autocratic in turning down very excellent young men for possible membership.

Far be it from me to recommend a young man for consideration
by the active Chapter. I have seen too many very worthwhile boys turned down.
And then I have seen the active Yhapter go into a financial tailspin because
some of the outstanding (?) selectives had flunked out and left the Chapter
in a bad financial condition.

Each and every time the actives make a blunder théy invariably
go to the Alumni and ask that this deficit be made up from one cause or another.
If the actives are so insistent that they take only their own ideas of select
timber, they should then take the added responsibility of working themselves
out of their difficulties.

This comment has been made by a number.of very prominent men
of financial integrity. And, I might add that it's also my opinion. There
are too many boys that imagine they are “big shots" but still cannot foot the
bills after ae! have followed their own follies. If you do not get what I
mean, sometime 1'11 be glad to explain to you, personally.

I want to congratulate you on the work you are doing because
doubtless you realize that this year will see the toughest rushing season that
fraternity men have faced in many many years. If there's anything I can do to
help you at any time, I'll be very glad to do it in the name of Phi Kappa Psi.

Fraternally yours,

Director of Physical Education and
Recreation-Varsity Basketball and
Baseball Coach.
