NAVAL TRAINING SCHOOL (ELECTRICIAN’S MATES) UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE, KANSAS 31 October 1944 Dr. F. ©, Allen Robinson Gymnasium University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr, Allen: Upon the closing of Naval Training School (Electrical), I find it not only my duty but also my pleasure to write a letter to all those who have contributed a great deal to the success of the Naval Training Program, This school has enjoyed a splendid record with both the Bureau of Naval Personnel, and Headquarters, NINTH Naval District. I know that such a record could not have been possible without the wholehearted spirit of cooperation and generosity which has been displayed by all Departments of the University of Kansas. It has been reported that this school ranked along with the very best schools of the Navy and I believe that this is a record of which we may all be justly proud. Dr. Allen, I wish to close by thanking you personally, in behalf of the Navy staff, for your part in making this fine record possible and also to express my appreciation for having had the opportunity of working with you in this important War Program. Very sincerely yours OO -W. G8us9 A» H. BURL Commanding Officer
