UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI COL: UM BB 1A +e 4 DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION August 31,1957 Dr.Forrest C Allen Dir.of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawerence, Kansas Dear Dr.Allen: I wish to thank you for your letter of July 24th relative to a position on your physical education steff. A day or so after writing you I noticed by the Kansas City paper that Dr.V.W.Lapp had been hired for the position,I also noticed that you were making a tour of physical ed- ucation schools of the East,hence I have not written you. I shall be very glad to be considered for a position there at any future time that one occurs,or should you decide to enlarge your staff in this field. I am continuing my work here at the university this coming year,working toward my Doctorate in physical education,but should a vacancy occur at any time I feel sure that the university authorities would not stand in my way but would release me from my contract. | While I am not personally acquainted with Dr.Lapp I do know of his work and I feel that you have added a worth while man to your staff and one that will be an assett. I should be very glad to have a talk with you at any time it is convenient,for we have many friends in common,several of my friends in Cleveland,Ohio as well as here in Missouri and Kansas are your big boosters. Thanking you for your courtesy in this matter. Very truly yours, .
