Mr. Forrest C. Allen, #2 Z Merch 13, 1942

| Beginning with the introduction of the required program in 1904,
one semester credit each semester or two semester credits per year have been
given to all undergraduates who fulfill the requirement. This, as you see,
makes a total of eight semester credits in Physical Education. These eight
semester credits have been added to those required for graduation in the
various divisions of the University.

: in general, we have been motivated in part at least by the official
attitudes expressed by the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the
College Physical Education Association and fhe American Association for Health,
Physical Education and Recreation. Although there has been a little opposition
in some quarters, undergraduates have largely accepted this program whole-
heartedly. We in turn have had numerous staff meetings at which we have
stressed the vital importance of the best possible preparation and the most
thorough teaching by every mesber of the staff. We feel that only by the best
efforts of our staff and our students, and with the fine support which the
faculty has always given us, can we meet adequately the demands which are be-
ing placed upon all of us during the present war.

I haven't seen your youngsters lately but shall try to look them
up again shortly.

With very best wishes,

Yery sincerely yours,
