Director of Physical Education
Kansas University
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Sir:

I am interested in doing work in the field of physical
education, and wish to take my graduate work at your institution.
I have been looking thru the United States Armed Forces Institute
catalog, but have been unable to find one course offered in this
field by any institution. ae oes |

I have several questions that I would like to have answered.
Does Kansas University offer graduate work in the fiels of physical
education? If so, could you send me a list of the gubjects which
that institution recommends. Do you offer any of these subjects
by correspondence? If so, which ones? If you do not offer any of
these subjects by correspondence, can you name some other institution
that does offer them, which your institution would accept? Would
you please include a price list for the hours if available?

I graduated from Baker 'niversity, Baldwin, Kansas in 1943,
and have spent most of the time since then in the Navy, where I
am still serving. I understand I will qualify under the G.I. Bill
of Rights for 1 more year and feel I would like to put it in getting
a Masters'. I have some spare time on my hands at the present and
would like very much to get started if at all possible.

I hope I am not too bold for mentioning this at the present
time but I would be quite interested in working while attending
school, preferably in the field in which I intend to further my
education. I have no idea when I will be discharged from the
service, nor does anyone else, but do you employ any such students
as aids? I am married, with 3 children, 2 of which were born while
attending Baker University. I have competed in the 4 major sports
over 12 years, 4 of these years in the U. S. Navy. I served as
Physical Training Instructor, at Morningside College, Sioux City,
Iowa, for 1€ months, while they had the 8lst. College Training
Detachment of the Army Air Corps before entering the service this

time.

It would be very kind of you if you would answer the questions
which stated above. I wish to thank you for it in advance.

Sincerely Yours,

Naw. 0.1
