Dear lir, Hamilton:

L want to thank you very much for your
kindness to me when I stopped by the other evening. ‘rs,
Allen was waiting out in the car for me, and when I re-
turned I was under the impression that she, being in an
unfavorable parking area, would not want to wait for me
to accept your kindness in sitting at the feuntain for a
drink. ; |

When 1 told her that you were in there
she said, “Well, I wanted an ice cream soda myself", so
we turned around at the next block and came back to see
you, but the young lady said you had just gone down the
street. We must have missed you only by a minute.

lips, Allen had a letter from Mary tell-
ing all about the family, and she wanted you to see it.
it was a beautifully written letter and gave in full de-
tail all the activities of the family.

I desired to explain my abruptnees in
hurrying in and hurrying out, and was sorry to have
missed you after we returned,

With every good wish, I am.

Very sincerely yours,

Dear iir, Bush?
am very happy to recommend to you Mr,
Charles ©, Hemphill, of Lawrence, Kansas, Way
I say that I have known Charlies Hemphill for over
15 years, Ee was a clasemate of my son, Milton
Allen, who graduated from the University last —
year and is new with the Standard 011 Company.

Charlie Hemphill graduated from Lawrence

High Sehool, attended the University for a short
while, and then took a business courses at the
Lawrence Business College. His character is of |
the best, his habits are those of a sober individe
ual, and hie ability is far above avorage. He is —
one of a large family here in Lawrenee. They have
always had the respect of the commmnity and are
held in high esteem. One of his sisters teaches

in the Lawrence public schools, and all the Hemphill

family are known for their stability and dependability.

I have observed Charlie Hemphill for years,
and while he is not the most brilliant individual
he is far above the average in intelligence, loyalty,
perseverance and stick-to-lt-iveness, He has a fine
eheracter and he has no bad habita that I know of,
I would be very glad to commend him to you,

Very sincerely yours,

PCA:AH : 3 Director of Physical Education.

Dear Leighton:

; I want to congratulate you heartily on the
get up and output of your very interesting Missouri
Valley Conference Handbook, You have done an excellent
job, and Z think other conferences would do well ¢

copy your style, |
I am indeed interested in this booklet and

I will keep it as a handy reference.

ball coaches inviting them to sit in a joint meeting
with us on December 4th in Kansas City for the joint
dis cussion and agreement of interpretations of the two
conferences, It happens that I am Sth District Chair-
man of the Basketball Rules Committee, and it is my
desire to cooperate with all of our coaches in the
fullest manner,

By the way, we are expecting to pley Drake
ina desionstration game on December 29, in Des Moines. |
Perhaps See has told you, but if he has not consult
him before you mention it to anyone else,

i want to assure you it is a pleasure to
work with you, and I will be happy to see you in Des
Moines and discuss with you the possibility of an
article in next year’s basketball rules book giving
the outside world the full information on the Missouri
Valley and the Big Six. Of course, each conference
will have its own individual write-up, but it is well,
I thought, to have further dissertation on our territory
for the elucidation of the “foreigners” who do net have |

Dear Friend:

For some time we have been anticipating the pure
chasing of 400 new Methodist hymnals for use in our worship
servicese Some solicitatiom has been made by the members of
the Harmony Circle, but at present money for only 115 hymnals
has been contributed.

The simple plan we are using is this: We are aske
ing members of the Church to buy one to ten of these books at
$1.00 each and give them to the Church. The donors may have
these hymnals dedicated to any one they desire or merely have
their own names inscribed within them as the personal cone
tributorse Some have subscribed for five or ten copies each,
and many others have given one or two, If you have not
answered this call, will you come to Church on Sunday morning
prepared to say how many_hymn books you will purchase and
present to the Church? It ought to be no trouble at all to
secure a gift of 400 hymnals in a Church the size of ours,
but the response so far has not been what we expected.

The present hymnal which we are using Was publish»
ed thirty=two years ago. The new book which we hope to buy has
many of the newer hymns and in addition to this, the words
appear between the music scores making the hymns more easily
reade Last Sunday morning 1 saw a half dozen books being used
by those in the front pews and every one of them had either
one or both covers gone. There are a few good books left and
these will be used by our young people's departments, an a
few will be taken out to Haskell for our Methodist group theres

We will look for your voluntary contribution for
hymn books on Sunday. After that the young women will continue
their personal solicitation, If they come to see you, please
give them a hearing and a subscription for one or more booksSe
We are setting NOVEMBER 1 as the date upon which we hope to
order the new books but we will not order them until we have
the money to pay for theme

We shall appreciate your cooperatione

Most sincerely yours,

wae.

Dear Sir:

In the first part of the summer I wrote to you about
the course offered at Kansas University for Physical Educ-
ation. You sent to me the proposed course, and I am won-
dering if you could tell me what sujbects that I have taken
here at Kansas State College that I could substitute for
subjects offered at Kansas University.

I am enclosing a typewriten copy of the courses that
I have taken and the number of hours and grades in the cour-
ses that I have taken. Would you check over this list and
tell me what you can substitute. I want to finish up at
K.U. and I would like to get as many subjects substituted as
possible.

Although I do not have the funds to enter school this
fall, I intend to come to school there the second semester.
Do you suppose that I could finish up in three semesters at
K.U. ? I would like to take some courses by correspondence
that would count toward graduation. “ill you please advise
me as to which courses would be best to take by correspond-
ence and what the cost of each course would be?

If I could not finish up in three semesters, could I
finish up in a summer school and correspondence also besides
the three semesters.

Please let me know as soon as possible what I can do
at K. Ue. hanking you very much, I remain,
