Dear Dr. Brown:

I am answering a lot of letters that I received in January
and February. Isn't that terrible? Well, an honest confession is
good for the soul, and I am confessing honestly. ;

I certainly would liked to heve seen you in New York when we
had a successful season. I remember two years ago you were saddened
by the events that happened in your home, and we were beaten by Pord-
— You ee ee

hoping that we would see you this year. But I wmderstand how difficult

Bebby is making progress on his junior year at Pennsylvania
and seams to be getting slong nicely indeed. Me was home for a week
during the first week in April, but had to hurry back. Eleanor is
graduating with a major in psychology at Pennsylvania in early June.
Urs. Allen is going back, but the way my work is shaped I am afraid
that I can’t make it.

School work here ie rather unusual in that we are heaving a
large number of Neval cadets and other Navy enlisted men who are re-

@ group of medies coming in who will be required to take physical
conditioning. Ou new term opens on May 24th and all students onter~
ing the University who are not draft rejocts will be required to take
the work. So our undermamned departeent will have to hit the ball
rather strenuously.

Last week I was elected president of Rotary for the coming
year. This will entail added duties, but I will do the best I can to
handle it.

I am sending you a copy of a letter that I have written to
