Department of Physical Education October 26, 1939. Dear Faculty Member: The first recreation class for the children of faculty members was held last Saturday morning in the gymnasiun, and we trust that each and everyone of them enjoyed the hour of play. Beginning next Saturday the hour for this play will be from 9 to 10 o'clock. Before the children begin participation in the various activities that will comprise the year's program, we request that they have a thorough physical examination by a physician, This examination should inciude the vital organs and the other usual features of an examination preparatory to participation in vigorous activities, This is a safety measure required of all students participating in physical education activities in the University, and we feel it ad» visable to request the same of these children, Will you kindly have your children bring a signed statcoment from the doctor tha t the examination has been completed when they come to class next Saturday morning? As a hygienic and health measure we are also asking each child to wear a gymnasium suit on Saturday mor nNingse Our faculty committee (coaposed of Miss Byrn, Mre Raport and Mr. DeGroot) feel that it would be advisable at this time to limit tho age group of the children to 8 to 15 ycearse , We will welcome any suggestions you may wish to offer concerning the program for these childron, and assure you of our desire to cooperate wholechcartedlye Very sinccrely yours, eee x me , \ ne I, ! ae Nha ? comms ee e Director of — Bducoation and Rocreation, Varsity Basketball Couche
