Dre Fe Ce Allen,
Director of Physical Education,
University of Kansase

Dear Dre Allen:

Although a fairly definite understending exists
concerning my eventual resignation from this department, it
oecurred to me that a formal letter apprising you of my plans
would be in ordere

As I have told you, I plan to complete the first
semester's teaching, thus finishing half of my year's assignment.
However, Dre MacCurdy and I expect to be married during the
Christmas holidays since ‘that is the only time which gives him
enough vacation to make the trip out here so we can be married
at my family's home in Topekte

That, of course, means that I will stay on here
after the holidays until all my work for this semester is donee
I trust I shall not be unwelcome during that month as a “Mrse"
instead of a "Miss" - and I would appreciate your letting me
know if such arrangement is administratively acceptable.

I should like you to know, too, what a pleasure and
inspiration it has been to work under the guidance you have given
the Department of Physical Education since its reorgenizatione

There are idealists who have visions, but can't
realize them; and there are practical robots who can work them-
selves to the bone, but lack the imagination to make their pro-
ductivity meaningful achievement; but it is the rare soul who
can have his visions and algo translate them into reality. Your
leadership and record attestt to your being so endowed.

I leave the department very sure that it is “going

places", and I extend my heartfelt wishes for your success and
happiness in working with an intelligent end cooperative facultye

Very sincerely,

E;
