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
