June 4, 1943

Doctor Forrest C. Allen
Department of Athletics
University of Kansas
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Sir:

Thanks for your kind letter of June 1, enclosing
you address.

I agree heartily with everything you have to say.

Some months ago, I tried to persuade the University
and The Citadel, where I went to college and played on
both teams, to undertake just about this procedure, but
have gotten no where with the University, although The
Citadel is highly in favor of it.

I am, at this time, President of the Alumni
Association of The Citadel and vitally intercsted in
seeing that athletics are brought back to the student
body, but it is a hard battle and will take considerable
shock to revise it here. 3
