Dear Brother Allen:

Enelosed is a self-explanatory
letter which I am mailing to the Special Alumni Com-
mittee of Kansas Alpha. Had it not been for you I
doubt that they would have gotten it. Perhaps my in-
vestigation may result in stirring the boys to a more
economical management. If so, it is worth my while.

: As I state in the enclosure I
now plan to attend my class re-union on June 9th on
the Golden Anniversary of our graduation. I shall
want to see you again if I am there.

In strictest confidence, will
you read my sketch in Vol. 20, p. 2161 of "Who's Who
in America" and think over whether or not my work en-
titles me to a degree at the hands of my alma mater.
I have now finished the manuscript on the "City-
County Consolidated" which I hope to have published,
and an additional degree would look well on its ti-
tle page. My training at the University gave me the
start on this subject fifty years ago which I have
followed up ever since. This suggestion is in con-
fidence as I would not want to be placed in the po-
sition of asking for somewhing to which I may not be
justly entitled.

Fraternally yours,
