The fourth annual January session for Federal, State, and local
recreation superintendents and supervisors will be held from January @ to 28,
1940.

This session is a part of the extensive program in Recreation
offered by the School of Education. Students specializing in Recreation may
matriculate for the degree of Bachelor of Science, Master of Arts, Doctor of
Philosophy or Doctor of Education. With permission, students may register for
recreation courses without. matriculating for a degree.

Mr. Virgil Dahl, Technical Consultant to the Work Projects Adminis-—
tration, is now a member of our faculty. Mr. Dahl has been identified with public
recreation for twelve years as administrator of large and-small municipal systems
through service as Director of Recreation for Los Angeles County; as Supervisor
of Physical Education and Recreation for Inglewood, California; for the Federal
Government, as Assistant Regional Director of Education and Recreation in the
eleven western states; and as Assistant to the Director in charge of training and
program for the Recreation Section of the Work Projects Administration. The two
courses to be offered this January will be conducted by Mr. Dahl, Professor Frank
S. Lloyd and myself. Numerous governmental agencies will cooperate to make these
courses valuable contributions to the recreation field. Particular attention
will be given in the courses to the respective responsibilities of leaders,
participants, staff and board members in relation to the recreation agency, and
a study of methods for turing leisure into cultural achievement.

These special advanced courses are offered in January to accommodate
recreation: executives and leaders who are not able to attend classes during the
academic year or the summer session, because of the seasonal character of their
responsibilities. The enrollment will be limited to between forty and fifty
students, because of the desirability of close relationship between the various
instructors and the students. If you can arrange to attend the University during
January, will you please fill out the enclosed blank and forward it to us as soon
as possible?

Very sincerely yours,

JAY B. NASH
