LIBERTY ©) MUTUAL HOME OFFICE: BOSTON 10 ROCKEFELLER PLAZA NEW YORK, N.Y. January 14, 1942 Dr, F. C, Allen Physical Education Director Varsity Basketball Coach University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr, Allen: As you see, stories even reach New York papers regard- ing your dislike for proselyting. Also, I have noted in small copy that the University has dropped minor sports because of the war, and I am wondering if it isn't due to the depleted bank account of the depart- ment. Too bad the Athletic Directorship hasn't the business knowledge that position has been accustomed to. I'm certain some small politicians owe you an apology. Best wishes to you and yours. Fraternally yours, cr O, F, Nesmith ofn;rh -
