Dr. Le Re Pyle,
Mills Building,
Topeka, Kansas.

Dear Dr. Pyle:

| I desire to thank you personally fer your
generosity in making it possible for a very deserving
young man to remain in school. This young man's father
was @ Spanish-American war veteran and was killed. The
mother is in the home at Dedge City, and the young man
in question had a brother who was killed by lightning
this summer.

This chap is one of the finest young men that
~ know of and he is not an athletic tramp by any manner
of means. He will make a name for himself, and you
without doubt will receive a letter from him. Later on
he will call on you in person to thank you. Before he
is out of this University it is my opinion that his name
will be on the tongue of a great many of the faculty
members and athletic followers.

Mr. Hitt, our assistant registrar, has spoken
of him, saying that he is one of the finest young men
that he had met. He is a fine student, a fine athlete,
and a real gentleman. Mr. Hitt was a Summerfield scholer
and a brilliant teacher of mathematics, so I am sure that
his evaluation is a real recommendation.

you, and assuring you that the

first time I am in Topeka I will stop by to express our
thanks for your generosity, Tam

Sincerely yours,
