Dear Monty:

| 4 @iink Deen tarthowt ent 3 sevperated in
your “recruiting” policy pretty well yesterday at Fort _
_ Scott. It was a good thing, because they had people from
most of the other schools - Pittsburg, — State, and
even the Navy.

Mr. Markkem was chairman of the general assembly,
ami they met in the auditorium. We were to be there at 10
o'clock for conferences, and we got there at 9:40. We walked
into the auditorium and Mr. Markham digressed from his speech
to introduce us informally, a
Dean Swarthout". We got a big play.

I met two fine groups in conference; one group of
53 students who indicated Physical Education as their first
. @hoice, and another group of 45 students who indicated this |
field as their second choice. I don't know whether those whom
we had in conference came to see the monkey, or were actually
interested in Physical Education. Anyhow, I thought we had
very profitable meetings. |

We had luncheon with the entire group, which in-
cluded two men from the U. S. Navy. a.
groups, tut we ran a close second. I don't know whether it was
the uniform, or the officers, but perhaps both. Mr. Gemmell of
Kansas State and five of his group were there. we brought two
ee se ee ES ee ee oe
ferences.

Altogether it was a big pow-wow.
Sincer om ely yours,
