W. A. BRANDENBURG, A. M., LL.D., PRESIDENT
PITTSBURG, KANSAS

April 4, 1938

Mr. Forrest C. Allen
Kansas University
Lawrence, Kansas

My dear Mr. Allen:

I am in a quandry! I have no idea of what you
mean when you say “Someone told me that you were under
the impression that I had failed in some request that
you had made of me." I do not know what this means,
for in every sense of the word you fulfilled every
request that we made of you.

Personally, I was very anxious that Miss Stoskopf
secure you as a speaker, and I placed the call for
you.e I want to see the departments of physical educa-
tion at Kansas University lined up with our organiza-
tion, and I feel that one of the best ways to secure
this is to obtain the cooperation of the leaders in
its departments. I am very glad that you accepted the
invitation to speak, and from the reports that I have
heard, you made a splendid address.

I am very sorry that it was impossible for me to
attend the Central District meeting at Minneapolis.
It seems as if I have so many jobs, each one demanding
a great amount of time and work. At the present time,
I am busy working on the dance program, and immediately
preceding the convention I was in charge of the publi-
city for the Brandenburg Silver Anniversary. Just some
reasons why I cannot attend all these conventions.

Whoever made the statement to you that I was unmind-
ful of your cooperation certainly misquoted me, for
it is not my purpose nor plan to criticize. I am of the
opinion that merit is to be recognized even though the
program does not fulfill my ideal. This last statement
is not true of you, for in every way you met your obli-
gation in Pittsburg and fulfilled it most graciously.
