ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

OF GREATER KANSAS CITY
May 28 194.5

Dr. F. C, Allen,
University of Kansas,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Dr. Allen:
I-was glad to get your letter and think it certainly

was a dandy and warrants an answer. To me it is very
encouraging that there is enough interest being aroused

- go that people actually care who is president of the

Alumni Association. A little healthy contest conducted
in the right manner I am sure we all agree, is a good
thing.

While I want very much for Charlie Shaeffer to be
elected, regardless of the outcome, we feel we have
done the Alumni Association some good by creating a
renewed interest.

We sent out a number of letters and you would be surprised
at the replies received from all over the United States,
and I think interest has been stimulated very materially
and wouldn't be surprised if it has not resulted in a

very substantial increase in Alumni memberships.

As you know, there is not a thing in the world that

Cal Morrow, Thornton Cooke, myself, or any of the other
fellows in Kansas City want from the Alumni Association.
Our only purpose is to have a “live" organization that

We feel certain
that our Kansas City organization is of that type and

we always stand ready to get behind anything constructive.

Again let me say we appreciated your letter and the

thoughts contained therein.

With kindest regards, I am
Very truly yours,

lat bites Beas
