MAR ¢ - 1948

THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Lawrence

Mareh 5, 1945

To the Faculty and Enpleyees »f the University:

We do not need an argument as te why we should give to the
Red Cross, nor do we need to specify reasons as te how much we can
give. You know the answers to beth,

I have never talked to a Marine, a soldier er a sailer but
who, upon every sccasion, said, "The Red Cross is teps with me. I
have already made my contribution. It is the thing that keeps us
living."

I like this slegan: IF YOU CAN'T GO -- GIVE. And anether
hits me right in the middle: GIVE.TO THOSE WHO GAVE. Why sheuld I
say more? ae

The Red Cross drive started March lst, but since we had
vacation, I theught it better for this letter ts arrive at yeur desk
after the semester vacation is ever and yeu are ready te put first
things first.

To facilitate your giving we are not asking anyene to call
upon you, but we are asking that you mail your daenation te Room 107
Robinson Gymnasium. Presuming that you will make a contributien, we
are enclosing the Red Cross sticker and lapel clip, but if yeu. find
it impsssible te Ete, kindly return them to this office,

_ The Soin and empleyees of the University have always given
intelligently and respended most genereusly. I knew that yeu will de
your share. The students are sane being given re to make
their contribution. .

Ysurs for a generous and responsive gift.
