Dear "Doc" Allen:

A tentative building program is now under considera-
tion at the University of Missouri. Preliminary discussion
indicates the possibility of an encroachment of dormitories
and other buildings on some areas hitherto used by physical
education and athletics. Should this actually occur, the
activities of these departments will be pushed farther from
the geographic center of student instruction on the campus.
Our required program for all freshman and sophomore men
makes this possibility seem highly undesirable, from our
departmental point of view.

Dr. Hindman, director of physical education at the
University of Missouri, is preparing some recommendations
to present to the University Planning Committee. He feels

that his recommendations will carry more weight if he can
cite some facts relative to thé facilities and programs of
some of our neighbors.

I have been asked to solicit such information from a
number of such sources. I hope you will oblige me by supply-
ing the information you think pertinent. If you are too busy
winning another Big Six Basketball Championship to attend
to this personally, will you kindly ask one of your staff

The inclosed sheet is a hasty and crude attempt to
indicate the nature of the "dope" we should like to have.
Any additional items, however, may be added at your discretinon.
Your cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

My best personal regards to you, and continued success
to your teams. (within reason, at least)

Sincerely yours,

Herbert Bunker
