Doctor Forrest C, Allen,
University of Kansas,
Lawrence, Kansas,

Dear Doctor Allen:

I wrote you sometime ago regarding the election of officers for
the Olympic Association for the next Olympic period. At the time I wrote
I assumed that the Quadrennial Meeting would be held next month. A check
of the Constitution of the Olympic Association shows, however, that the
Quadrennial Meeting is held the year following the Games, which means that
the next meeting will not be held until November 1941, However, I think we
should regard this merely as giving us a better opportunity to prepare for
the meeting, so I hope you will continue to keep the matter in mind and work
to secure proper representation at the '41 meeting. We will be able to
work out a more complete plan of procedure in the time which it now appears
we have available.

I want to thank you for the interest and activity you have already
displayed and urge you to continue your efforts,

Sincerely yours,

W. B. Owens,
President,
