Atlanta, Ga.

Dear Mr. Lang,

I just had a conference with Dean E.B. Stauffer upon his return.

Dean Steuffer states that he would be very happy to talk with you
but it would be of little or no benefit. Dean Stauffer is secre-.
tary of the Committee of Classifications of Universities and Colleges
of the Association of American Universities.

Dean Stauffer stated to me that the committee's action was merely
transmitted to him and he gives to the newspapers only the information
that he receives from them. 3

Dean Stauffer further stated thet should you come to visit him he
could only refer you to Dean Fernandus Payne of University of Indiana,
Bloomington, Indiana. Dean Payne is chairman of the committee and
Dean Stauffer is secretary. Dean Stauffer is not a member of that
executive committee that made the findings. He is merely the sec-
retery whe dees the secretarial work. :

Dean Stauffer states that this association does not meet again

until next year and there is ne great hurry because since they meet
but onee a year there is no opportunity to have a special meeting.

So I believe, Mr. Lang, that if you could have some connection that
would bring you in contact with Dean Fernandus Payne at Indiana Uni= |
versity it would be much more efficacious.

I regret that I am unable to be of any serfice to you in this con-
nection. ae

If Governor Talmadge should want you to come up and if you are coming
to help yourself with the Governor, of course I would be glad to have
you talk with Dean Steuffer and I could arrange an audience for youe
Dean Stauffer is a very fine and generous gentleman, but in this case
I amvery sure that he would only give you the information that he
gave me. Since you have one man te convince this committee, then I
believe your purpose could be accomplished much better through Dean
Payne than through Dean Stauffer.

Assuring you that it is always a pleasure to be of service to you and
trusting thet in the future I may be of more constructive help I am

with kindest personal regards |
Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation
Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach
