Dear Friend Phog:

I have written you about everything under the sun except
girls, and so to make sure the record is complete, that's
what I am doing now. Of course, you understand that I
know the man who runs a department in the University and
coaches the Varsity team has plenty of time to wet nurse
all the freshman that might decide to go to the University
of Kansas and understanding this full well, here is the
story.

Mariam Calder, 1215 Oreal Avenue, has entered the University
of Kansas as a freshman. Not having a daughter and she
being the daughter of aur best friends and knowing her

even before she arrived, we couldn't think more of her

if she were our own flesh and blood. Her father was a
Crewman at Cornell, a fraternity man, captain in the
artillery in the last war, is now one of the executives

of the Mid-Continent Refinery. Her mother was one of the
outstanding students at Vassgr. She has family back of

her to who laid the chalk. She went to Holland Hall, a
girls school here, and then four years at Abbotts academy

a girls school at andover, Massachusetts. She is attractive,
healthy, red-headed and is everything that a girl should .

be but she doesn't have the right contacts to get a bid

from one of the three sorieties that she thought were tops
at K.U. She was invited by four but they did not appeal

to her as much as the others and the child is very much

disappointed.

I think the real disappointment is that she never has been
situated where she could have boy friends and she has
gotten the impression that unless you belong to the right
group at the University, you haven't any chance at social

life.
