Mr. Forrest ©. Allen
Director of Physical Education
University of Kansas

- Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Mr. Allen:

Thanks for your recent letter. I too was disappointed not
to see you in Lawrence but appreciate the fact that you had to be
eway. I also appreciate the good word you passed on to Gwin Henry,
which helped make it possible for the@Wisconsin Track Team to take a
grand trip.

I was also sorry not to see my old neighbor Waldemar Geltch.
I had planned to see him on Sunday but due to the death of Mrs.
Jones' mother, I had to leave immediately afiter the Relays on
Saturday, and didn't get back until the day of our dual meet. I've
head a letter from Mr. Geltch since I returned and havealso written
him.

I'm not teaching this summer and plan to go up on the north
shore of Lake Superior for a short time with my family.

Guy Lowman's recovery is very slow through he is improving.
He comes down to the office two or three times a week to take care
of administrative work but does no teaching.

Under separate cover I am sending you a bulletin of the
Education Courses and some mimeographed material on the Physical
Education program. We're not offerin thing new. My personal
feeling is that most of our ine ti tuti@e tire courses are going
to seed as far as this part of physical education is concerned,

and they should get back to fundamentals and exercise.

With kindest regards, I am
