My dear Dr, Allen:

Mr, Jimmy Kitts has handed me your letter of November 20th for
reply.

Our course for the professional preparation of teachers in phy-
sical and health education is a four year course and is organized as
a department of the university. We have no school of education but
have a one-man department of education, This instructor teaches

- sufficient education to meet the state requirements.

Physical education major students enroll as freshmen. The en-
closed material will show the course requirements -- for each of the

four years.

Credit at Rice is granted on the course basis rather than on the
semester hour plan. Physical education major students are required
to complete 20 courses in four years. Each course meets three hours
a week for the entire year and carries with it a six clock hour
laboratory requirement. In some departments here the requirement is
16 courses in four years.

I am enclosing information concerning the Texas state laws
governing physical education, Under separate cover you will receive
a catalogue of the school,

I trust that this information will serve your purpose. I shall
be happy to enlarge upon our plan if you deem it necessary.

Sincerely yours,

Harry Me :

Professtr of Physical Education
