Gentlemen:

My deughter, Ruth Dudley, is enrolled in the University in the School of
Fine Arts. She was home between semesters and at that time was given a
statement from Dr. Lenski asking that she be excused from Physical Educa-
tion. I received a letter from her today in which she stated that an ex-
cuse of this kind was of no avail and that any exemption would have to be
made upon a physical examination at the hospital.

In the course of a day, she has to walk about six miles which I deem suf-
ficient exercise for any one of her age. Both Dr. Lenski and myself being
acquainted with her past health feel that the attendance on her part at
Physical Education classes is purely superfluous if good health is to be
considered.

I fully appreciate the fact that you have certain school regulations and
that you try to adhere to them, however, in this instance I am expecting
you to excuse her from Physical Education for this semester.

It is our opinion that about all it will do for her will be to completely
tire her out and that is just what we do not wish to have happen.

May I have the pleasure of hearing from you by return mail.

Thanking you in advance and with the kindest personal regards, 1 beg to
remain,

Very truly yours,
KRD-T

 

Kent R. Dudley
