My dear Dr, Allen:

I have been advised through New York University and also through
Springfield College to write to you in regard to a position as Director of
the General Physical Education Department. I understand that I have been
recommended to you by both these Institutions and should like to make formal
application for the positione

“You, undoubtedly have received my credentials from the Placement
Eureau of the above Institutions, and should like to say that if there is any
additional information you would like to have me furnish I will be glad to
forward it to youe

It have had twenty years experience in the allied fields of
Physical Education including Health Education, Athletics and Recreation.
During these twenty years experience seventeen years were spent as Director
of the Physical Education Department. .

My training has provided me with experience in all phases of work,
including High School, supervision of the Public School System, Teachers
College, College, and University Programse I am well qualified to direct the
work in general Physical Education, Professional Training in Physical Education,
and Recreatione tama native of Kansas, and graduated, as you will note in
my educational background, from Kansas State. I played on the Varsity Baseball
and Football teams while a student there. I am sure we have mutual acquaintancese
Although we are not personally acquainted I have known you and your work for
many years, especially those excellent basket=ball teams you had at Kel.

Mike Ahearn and Guy S. Lowman were my former coaches years ago
and are familiar with my work and study since graduation.

Dre Ae K. Aldinger, Director of Health and Physical Education for
the Public School System of New York City was formerly Professor of Education
at the University of Vermont, where I served as his Assistant for three yearse
I presume there is a letter from Dr. Aldinger in the mail, furnished from the
Placement Bureau of New York University, but should you care to write him direct
I am sure he will be only too glad to write to you in regard to my qualifications
for the positione

Louis S. Schroeder, Superintendent of Recreation for the City of
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is also in a position to give you first hand ‘information

Dear Doc:

Just returned from the field house and
sending a wire to you. As 1 mentioned in the wire
Kistler decided that he could not afford to take
the drop but was rather reluctant at that because
as I have explained there are some things ih the
Situation here that do not look too good. While I
was over there I met Voltmer, whom I mentioned for
the situation last fall. Of course he is out of
our price range now. I talked with him at length
regarding Lapp and Wendler. I have a great deal
of faith in Voltmer and he was very outspoken re-
garding Lapp. He said that hehas often been ama-
zed at the ability of Lapp to’hold his own before
a critical audience.

Voltmer said that granting the fact that
one's first impression of Lapp may not be too good,
this is soon overcome by his outstanding intellect-
ual ability.

I have talked to several others since last
writing to you and the balance seems much in favor
of Lapp for his wearing ability and possibility of
development. It may seem to you that I have not at
times been consistent regarding my statements but I
have tried to keep you informed as to the best infor-
mation I could get. Voltmer settled one doubt in my
mind and that was as to Lapp's ability to carry on
before a group. He feels that this is one of his
strongest points.

While at the field house I also learned that
the failure of the Physical Eds office to turn in the

results of my qualifying exam.and my French exam. <be-
fore last Friday may cost me an extra summer here. Of

course it would not make a_great deal of difference to

Dear Doc:

Your letter came this morning. I had plan-
ned to write you this afternoon because Kistler was
to let me know today whether he would be interested
enough inthe situation there to take a trip down to
see you. However, my arrangements went haywire and
I have not been able to see him thus far today. I am
so confident that he will decide not to look into the
situationt hat I will write without seeing him. Will
write you immediately if he is interested. I had a
long talk with him Friday, and as I said before there
seems to be a chance for advancement here a the
Salary ¢#here would be about 500 dollars what
we have to offer, but even at that he liked the idea
of the straight teaching position there.

Kistler put me out on a limb a couple of times
and I found that a couple of his questions were pret-
ty hard to answer, In the light of my own experience,
of course I could not assure him as to salary advance-
ments and advancement in rank and so on. In any event,
I told him that twenty eight hundred was the limit and
put the proposition as fairly as I could to hin.

Had a conference with Dad Schroeder regarding
Lapp and have talked to several others regarding hin.
Aside from that I had the opportunity to observe him
around here for sometime before he left town. As near
as I can find he has but one great draw back and that
is the fact that he certainly does not look the part
for Physical Education. He certainly does not have.
that driye that one would want and he is very large
and loo&ly hung together. Depends upon his belt to
assume the responsibility of his abdominal muscles. In
this respect I cannot see him in the light of Dean
Schwegler's critical eye as to posture. I told Lapp
that he could get about $2600 and I am sure that he
would come for even less than that..

Dad says that by far our best bet would be
Arthur Wendler. Has his PhD but only a couple of years
experience. I have met him, but he is not here this
summer. Is teaching Physical Ed theory classes for
graduate students at Alabama Tech at Auburn ,Alabama for
the summer/ He will go on full time here when he
comes back in the fall but since Kistler is ahead of
him he will not get a very good salary. Kistler him-
self would favor Wendler over Lapp. He graduated from
one of the Normal Schools ,in Wisconsin, I think La
Crosse. Could coach cole’ and tennis if necessary.Is
an expert gymnast and Dad" says would be willing to
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS

DIVISION OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND
INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS

do practical work if necessary. Could teach the course
in Tests and Measurements since he used to be employed
by the Physiology Department and has done much stat-
istical work for the Physical Education Department. I
just talked with Dr McCloy's secretary regarding him
and she feels much the same as Dad. Neither have any
thing particular against Lapp other than that he does
seem to lack that drive. Miss Metheney says that after
you learn to know him he is really a "grand person".
She points out that you could not go wrong but leans
toward Wendler as the type who would work himself to
death to help put a job over. Dad says that he would
be a good investment and that seems to be the general
opinion. He has worked hard all his life . By the way
he is married and has a boy six years old.

I asked Miss Metheney if she would have the
placement bureau send his material to you. Dad says
both of them are smart boys but Wendler leans a lit-
tle heavier toward the personality that will cause
him to grow more rapidly. Dad thinks that you could
get Wendler for $2500 for the nine months.

Well there is the dope and I will write you
as soon as I see Kistler but I am sure that he would
not be satisfied at what we have to offer.

After reading this over it seems that I have
not done Lapp any favors certainly, but I want you
to get my impression, Although short and stocky it
seems that Wendler would fit a little better with the
undergraduate student.

I got the courses that I wanted , but now I
wonder why, They are centainly keeping me on the go,
PhySiology of the Nervous system and Physiology of
Exercise are both interesting but the gooddold prof
won't let me catch up with him.

If you are interested_in Wendler, write dir-
ectly to him at the above ad@ess.

Dear Dean Schwegler:

I am enclosing herewith correspondence
and communications in regard to Br. Kistler and Dr. E.W. Lapp
who are possible candidates for the position of instructor in
the Department of Physical Education.

From Mr. Elbel's letter it appears
that we may have some difficulty in getting a man with a Ph.D.
degree in Physical Education at the salary figure we have to
offer.

I am placing this material before you
so that you may give it your casual observation until we have
final word from Mr. Elbel as to whether or not Mr. Kistler will
be available. It may be well for you to give Chancellor Lindley
a progress report on our activities for a desirable man.

After reading the material you may
call me at my home, Number 300, where I am working on the manu-
script for my new book on basket ball.

My purpose in giving you this material
at this time is to have you pass on to the Chancellor a progress
report when you see fit.

Sin¢gerely yours,

 

 

FCA: IW
P.S. After you have finished with the correspondence and data
will you please return it to my office or leave word and we
will pick it up when you have finished with it.

Sunday afternoon

Dear Doc:

Had a long talk with Kistler. His is the boy that
you had in mind. Hé is meer interested,or rather will be
interested if the proposition which they have before the
president here does not go thru. The new plan for him would
net a total of thirty six hundred for the year including work
in the regular session and during the summer. To me, his
position here would not appear to be a very interesting one
since them will have his attentions divided from coaching
freshmen teams in three. sports to continuing his charge of
practice teaching in the Experimental School to teaching
theory courses in Physical Education and directing of
Graduate Theses and a few other things. He would keep the
job here and be perfectly happy , though he may work himself
to death. He is none too optimistic regarding the possibility
of the president passing upon the new arrangement but McCloy
thinks there is no doubt but that it will go thru. He will
know in a cople of d DS McCloy was very outspoken relative
to the possibility ofasécuring a man of Kistler's experience

and qualifications at the salary that-¥e have to offer. In

fact he feels that we are going tAsacrafice experience to
a certain extent to get a man with the advanced degree. I
am beginning to think that a PhD in Physical Education would

demand a pretty good salary in most schools.

As I mentioned in the night letter to you Dr. McCloy
indicated as his second choice,Vernon Lapp, who wrote you
very early in the game from Kansas City where he is employed.
He has had five years experience in all. In the five years
ought to have a pretty good idea as to the public school
situation. He has been making a special study of the work
in the past three years in Kansas City. In his previous
position he taught all of the Phy sical, oa ( girls and boys)
in a town of two thousand in Wisconsin.4He comes from a
long line of University people. His father is ont he faculty
at the University of Michigan and his brother is in the
Physics Department here. He came out here to see me last
night. He and his wife are stopping a couple of days en-
routgto a small town in Wisconsin where they will spend a
good part of the summer. Lapp is a very large chap-not

too trim in appearance. But apparently from what I can
learn he is very bright and talks intelligently on Physical
Education, which is not always the case with PhDs. He is
very enthusiastic regarding a University position and has
possibility of development. He worked in research under
McCloy and Mc feels that he has the possibility of develop-
ing alnong that line in a manner that few men will develop
in the field of research in Physical education. He has

a mathematical turn of mind, and that feature should be an
aid to any department. He is an excellent student.

Lapp will see that you get detailed information
regarding him in the course of a few days. I am convinced
that we will not get Kistler and the fact that Lapp would
take an advance be stepping into a position that he really
wants at twenty six hundred makes me think that there are
things in his favor there. He would be more apt to consider
the move a real advancement. Lapp does not have the fire
that Kistler does but it would be a little difficult to
have the latter adjust himself after working with the faci-
lities that they have here. McCloy suggested another fellow
by the name of Wendler that he is going to take on here for
a couple of years. He has had but two years of experience and
would be a good man as far as practical physical activity
courses are concerned but would have difficulty as to theory.

Dad Schroeder has been at of town. I am to see him
tomorrow. I will let you know what he says. But it ldoks
like we will have difficulty in getting anyone with a PhD*£«rérrevce
who does not feel that he is stepping down. s

Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Dr Allen: Ce

How are you progressing with the matter of appointments on
your staff concerning which I wrote you about a month ago? Not
having had any reply I am assuming that you did not find the ap-
plicant recommended highly desirable, consequently I am taking
the liberty of including herewith the credentials concerning one
other man in whose qualifications I believe you will find many,
if not all, of the requirements for the appo'ntment you have in
mind. I am referring to Mr. H. 0. Dresser whose personal address
is 56 Pierrepont Street, Brooklyn, New York. Dresser is now forty
years of age, 5' 8", weight 145, unmarried. He is a native of
Kansas, having graduated from the high school in Manhattan and
also from the state college in the same place. This was in 1914
that he received his B.S. degree in general science. He came to
Springfield and secured his Bachelor of Physical Education, since
then has been attending various summer schools and graduate:
schools. From the New York University he received, in 1955, his
Master of Arts degree and has almost completed his work for the
doctorate at New York University now. I will give you a brief
summary of his experience: 1917-1918 he was in charge of the physi-
cal work of the Englewood High School; 1919-20, director of recrea-
tion in a large industrial concern in Southbridge, Massachusetts;
from 1920-24 he was director of athletics in Technical High School
in Springfield, Massachusetts; 1924-25 he went to the public schools
of Winchester, Massachusetts as supervisor of physical education;
1925-28 he was at the University of Vermont as assistant director
of physical education and coach of varsity sports. This is where he
served under Dr. Aldinger who was then the director there, and who
now is the director of health and physical education for the public
schools of New York City, with his address at 157 East 67th Street.
From 1929-32 he was at the State Teachers College in Pennsylvania
as director of physical education and athletics. He then came back
to New York City and took a part-time proposition and studied at
New York University in the graduate field. For two or three years
now he has been director of the recreation training schools,

107 Washington Street, New York City, and has from every report which
I have been able to receive scored a very decided success.

At my request he has prepared for himself an outline of his
training and experience which I am enclosing herewith as a separate
credential. I believe with this information in hand you will be in
a fair position to estimate his qualifications. I might say that
if you wish to inquire further concerning him the fol-
lowing men know him either as a student or an employee,
and you might communicate with them for details:

Dr A K Aldinger, whose address I have already given you,
157 East 67th Street, New York City; Dr Paul Klapper,
College of the City of New York, Convent Avenue and
139th Street, New York City; Dr L U Lawton, New York
University, Washington Square East, New York City;

Me. Louis Schroeder, City Building, Pittsburgh, Pennsyl-
vania, where he is superintendent of recreation for the
city.

IT feel that Dresser's all-round experience and suc-
cuss qualify him very well for favorable consideration
for the position which, as I understand, has not as yet
been filled on your staff.

I shall be glad to hear from you at your convenience.

Very sincerely yours,

My dear Dr. Allen:

Saturday evening I had a conference with Mr. Elbel,
of Kansas University. As a result of the conference, I
wish to make a formal application for the position which
is to be open in your department.

As you no doubt recall from my letter last winter, I
am much interested in getting into a teacher training
institution where it is possible to direct research lead-
ing to advanced degrees.

My experience consists of five years work in the field
of physical education as a teacher and eight years as a
student at the State University of Iowa. During my graduate
work I was research assistant to Dr. McCloy (Pres. Am. Phys.
Educe Ass'n.) and an assistant to W. W. Tuttle (Associate
Professor of Physiology) both of this institution.

Professionally, I am chairman of the Research Section
of the Central District (10 states) of the American Physical
Education Association. During the past five years I have
presented the following research papers at the Central
District meetings:

1. "Pupil Objectives in High School Physical
Education," Wichita, 1933. Published.

2. "Likes and Dislikes of High School Boys in
Physical Education," Minneapolis, 1934. In press.
Se "A Grading System for High School Physical
Education," Omaha, 1935. In press.

4. "Absence from School - Influenza - Physical
Education," Denver, 1937. In press.

In addition to the above articles, I have two technical
papers that have been published. They are:
1. "An Analysis of Movement on the Basis of Latent
Times and Variabilities."
2. "A Study of Hammer Velocity and the Physical
Factors Involved in Hammer Throwing."

My dear Dr. Allan:

I am sending you the credentials
of Dr. Vernon Lapp of Kansas City whom
Dr. McCloy is recommending for a position
on your staff for the coming year. Dr.
Lapp made an excellent record here as a
student and as a research man and has
maintained a very high record in Kansas
City. We are pleased indeed to send this
material for your consideration.

Very truly yours,
Frances M. Camp

Dr. Fs. Cy Bitten,

Director of Department of Physical Education,
University of Kansas,

Lawrence, Kans.

My dear Dr. Allen:

Since I returned from Lawrence, I have received
two communications from you. The letter of welcome was
appreciated and I sent it on to Mrs. Lapp who also received
it very kindly. The Kansan was also welcome.

I have had a conference with Mr. Elbel and we
have decided as many things as we thought wise. My wife
is returning tomorrow and we shall endeavor to get better
acquainted with his family.

He has been giving us some housing advice and I
have a long list of houses for rent from the Lock Real
Estate office. We can pay $30.00 unfurnished or $40.00
furnished.

We hope to be in Lawrence about September lst
and will try to get settled well before school starts. Some
friends in Kansas City have asked us to stay with them until
we get located and we expect to take them up on their
proposition.

The $21.96 expenses has not been forthcoming but
I expect the wheels turn slowly.

If there is anything you would like to have Ed
and I do before we get to Lawrence, let us know.

Very truly yours,

V WK fp
V. W. Lapp

P.S. In our professional course in Physical Education, we
should encourage the most intelligent to continue and have
some sort of seminar which is attended by all faculty
members and students.
