Dear Dr. Allen:

I have just heard of the extremely regrettable oc-
currance in connection with your visit here last
week to address: the boys of our basketball team.

I am terribly embarrassed by the conduct of Lyons
vandals who caused you that great inconvenience,

and want to offer the apologies of this organization.

I am certain that none of the group which attended
the banquet is guilty. Your talk to us and the boys
there was thoroughly appreciated and for days after
was much commented upon by all who heard you. I
know that all the boys there were much impressed

and would not have been guilty of the vandalism
after hearing you, even if one of them might have
been so crude before -- but all were inside the
dining room before you arrived.

I sincerely hope you do not hold that mean trick
against tne town of Lyons.

s very truly,

ae os
