Dear Phogs

In a short time you will have the opportunity of voting

for a new president of the K. U. Alumni Association. I

am particularly interested in seeing a Kansas Citian elected,
and that will be possible this year because Charles B.
Schaeffer, '16, is one of the nominees.

Kansas City has the largest and most active alumni associa-
tion in the country, and it is, of course, the closest one
to Lawrence. This is particularly important this year
because much important work must be done to properly chart
the course of K. Ue. in its postwar problems. Kansas City
has not had a president for ten years and only two presidents
in its entire history.

Charles B. Schaeffer, now Priorities District Manager of
the War Production Board, Class of 1916, has always

been a tireless and loyal worker for K. U. He will take
the time to go to Lawrence whenever necessary and will
work tirelessly for the good of the entire alumni body
as he always has in the past here in Kansas City for our
local association. All of us here in Kansas City would
appreciate your support.

Sincerely yours,

EWT-IH
