Dear Randy:

- ‘Thanke very much for your commmication of Mareh 27
directed to Chancellor Deane W. Malott. We appreciate
your letter very mush.

Please be assured that if at any time there is some-

27 March 1944

Chancellor Deane W. Malett,
University of Kansas,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Chancellor Malott:

April 16, 1944 will mark the end of the first year for the Navy CAA War Training
School at the University of Kansas. During that time, 319 Aviation Cadets have
been trained at this Activity and have been sent on to various Pre-Flight Schools
for further aviation training. I want to take this opportunity to express my
opinion of the operation as a whole based on my observations during the past year,

The entire ground school section of the training program has been excellent. The
Aeronautical Engineering Department, the Coordinator, and the individual instructors
are all very capable men and have done a very conscientious sincere job of instruct-
ing our cadets. Teaching facilities and equipment of various kinds have been made —
available in an all out effort to create a superior ground school section. Cooper-
ation has at all times been very good.

The Physical Education Department, in the face of heavily taxed facilities due to
other military units, has at all times made available to us the necessary facilities
and space to carry on our important physical education program. The man assigned
from the University Staff to handle our cadets is very capable and has done a very
good job.

Housing and messing, particularily since we have occupied our present barracks, has
‘been very adequate. The houses have been well maintained and kept comfortable at

all times. Mrs. Ramage who has handled the food problem and acted as House Mother
practically all the time since this program started has done an outstanding job.
Her efforts have gone a long way toward keeping the moral of our trainees at a high
level.

As you know, difficulties and eabiaits have arisen from time to time in the past
year at the flight operation. For the past few months, we have had a Flight Officer
at the Airport and since the first of the year I can say that the entire flight
eperation has run more smoothly and more efficiently than at any time in the past.
The flight operator has made every effort to cooperate with us in maintaining a

Navy Military Flight Operation.
In writing this letter, I do so in the light that these are my own observations and

not official navy statements.
