THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS

OFFICE OF April 19, 1946

THE CHANCELLOR

Dear Mr. Allen:

The enclosed invitation deserves a word of ex-
planation. The K. U. Alumni Association has asked
me to invite you, and several other loyal K, U.
folks, to have dinner with us here, April 28th, and
then to meet for a discussion of the World War ITI
Memorial to be built on Mount Oread.

We are always eager to have your support and
help in everything we do. Occasionaily, however, a
project presents itself which requires strong and
active assistance on the part of those alumni whose
influence is well known. Such a project is the K. U,.
World War II Memorial.

This meeting is an attempt to secure the benefit
of your counsel in regard to the proper procedure for
eliciting the full support of all alumni for the
Memorial.

I sincerely hope you will be able to be with us.
As an added inducement I might mention that the cam-
pus has never been more beautiful than it is this
spring. If you haven’t seen the new Danforth Chapel,
which was dedicated just recently, you have another
treat in store for yourself.

My best personal regards. Will you let me know
if you’1l be able to be with us the 28th?

Deane W. Malott
