THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE BUSINESS OFFICE KARL KLOOZ, BURSAR April 24th, 1940 Dr. Forrect C. Allen, Director Physical Education and Recreation, Varsity Basketball Coach University of Kansas My dear Dr. Allens This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 20th, together with the letter from Dr. Lindley. I am returning Dr. Lindley's letter to you. It was impossible to get the Finance Committee together before the Board Meeting to give con- sideration to your request. However, Professor Davis and I did have an opportunity to discuss the matter with Chancellor Malott before the meeting and no doubt Professor Davis has seen you since this meeting and Chancellor Malott is also to talk to you concerning the matter. May I assure you that there is only the kindest feeling for you among the members of the Board with whom we talked, but those with whom we talked seemed to be of the opinion that it was an inopportune time to bring the matter before the Board as a whole without a recommendation from the Finance Committee. Assuring you of my present support and with best wishes, I am Karl Klooz, See University of Kansas Physical Education Corporation KK: JMT Enc.
