Dre Forrest Ce. Allen,
Director of Physical Education,
University of Kansase

Dear Dre Allen:

A short time ago, during one of our discussions concerning
your tentative plans for the next school year, you suggested
that you would like to place me next in line of authority to
Dr. Elbele I thought the idea was splendid.

You reiterated this in another discussion which we had at
® later date. However, while I am more than happy toassume
these responsibilities, I feel that the situation may be some-=
what difficult. You will readily see my point when I explain
to you that I shall be, it appears, the lowest salaried
member of the staff.

I venture to mention this situation to you because of your
frankness and honesty in discussing matters with me and the
confidence you have placed in me.

The salary being considered for the new man, as I implied,
will in actuality place me in lesser authority than the
individual selected to fill this vacancy, in spite of the
academic equalization of the individuals concerned and my
thorough knowledge of the actual working situation.

I greatly appreciate the opportunities which you have given
me thus far, and trust that our discussions in the future may
continue with the frankness of those in the past. I shall be
very happy to talk this situation over with youe

Sincerely yours,

(
