Dear Dr. Allen,

This will acknowledge your letter of December 8
relative to Mr. Nichols recommendation that the instructors
in your department be permitted to excuse boys from physical
conditioning classes. In my telephone conversation with
Mr. Nichols relative to this matter I sugzested that the
instructors have the privilege of excusing from physical
conditioning classes some of the cases of minor indisposi-
tions for which a student would not ordinarily need to
come to the hospital nor miss another class, but which
now send him to the hospital for the sole purpose of
obtaining an excuse from physical conditioning classes.

I still believe that all cases of illnesses of any signi-
ficance and injuries should be taken care of in the
hospital and I am sure that you do not want to add to your
load by having the responsibility of passing on such cases.

a
wee ent WeD.
