THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA IOWA CITY DIVISION OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION April 21, 1959 Dr. Forrest C. Allen Department of Physical Education University of Kansas Wichita, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: I should like tc ask your cooperation in giving me information concerning Dr. Lapp. My understanding is that the University is discontinuing his services at the end of this semester. We have considered Dr. Lapp one of the best minds we have turned out here and since I am quite sure of his character I should like very much to elicit your cooperation in telling me what the situation is which necessitates drop- ping him in this manner. This is not an attempt to void your action, but to inform ourselves what the circumstances are, in order that we may be most helpful to Dr. Lapp in the fu- ture. I should very much appreciate your writing me fully and frankly and I shall be glad to hold this information con- fidential, if you so wish. Sincerely yours, OF C. H. McCloy Director cf Graduate Study in CHM: B - Physical Education
