Mr. Fred Wie Leuhring

Assistant. Dean of Physical Education |
University of Pennsylvania | >
Philadelphia, Pa. 7

Dear Fred, :

The University of Kensas football team played Temple the other
night and my two youngsters, Eleanor and Bob, who are now ene
rolled at the University of Pennsylvania, went down to see their
Alma Mater get whipped by Temple. . .

The noting of this occasions caused me to write you and give you
their addresses.

Beb is in the School of Medicine and lives at Room 44, Morris Hall.

Eleanor, who finished her sophomore work here, is a junior in the

School of Fine Arts and lives at Room 415 Sergeant Hell, 34th and :
Chestnut, Philadelphia. \

- My good firend, Dean George Baxter Smith is a Rotarian, and each |
Monday noon I call for him and take him to the Rotary meeting. We
are tremendously fond of him and his wife. He has p rsonality,
poise, end a real educational philosophy that is wholesome. I can
easily see why you would be attracted to him.

Referring back to the paragraph about the youngsters. I do not

want you to take any special notice of them, except that I would

like for you to check up with Bob sometime and see that he takes

a little time out to exercise. All through high school he played
football and basketball, then at the University he had four years of
basketballe-ene year on the"frosh" and three years on the Varsity.
‘This spring he also made his letter on the Varsity baseball team

at first base. In addition to that, he made us doubly proud of him
by making Phi Beta Kappa. I ama little fearful that he will, follow
his desire to study to the exclusion of his needful athletic exercises

I will appreciate your taking a convenient moment to remind him of
this necessity.

With all good wishes to you and to Mrs. Leuhring as well as to
Dean Mercer I am with kindest regards,

Sincerely yours,

: Director of Physical Education and Recreation
