Mr. William Lindquist,
1007 Centra} St.,
Kansas City, Kensas.

Dear Bills

I have checked up with the Registrar's Office and find that
your status is as follows: you have one hour of A and one of C, three
hours of D, and eight hours of F. This puts you on the “forty per cent
list", since you failed in forty per cent of your work. In order to be
reinstated you will have to petition to the dean of your school, Dean
Paul B, Lawson of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, accounting
definitely for your time since leaving the University and giving good
reasons for believing that you will improve upon om previous record if
reinstated.

I am sorry that you got in such acndguié difficulty. After
all, a fellow does have to study when he goes to college, Bill, because
the professors figure that the main interest of a student is school, and
if you do not come up to the regulations they naturally turn thumbs down
and look askance at a fellow who doesn't make his grades. I am not
preaching to you, Bill, I am just presenting an athitude of the professors
and the administrators who run this educational business, and I know that
you will agree with me that a fellow should make his grades because it is
costing money and time of the participant.

Now, Bill, here's the catch. You must have twelve academic
hours the preceding semester to make you eligible for participation in the
Big Six. I do not believe that this first six weeks term will be counted
summer work so I do not see how you can be eligible for basketball this
year. I regret this very much as I assure you you would be a very weloums
member of our squad were you eligible.

Please give your good family my kindest regards, and let me
hear from you as to how best I can help you. With all good wishes, I am

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
FCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
