THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Lewrence

Mareh 5, 1945

To the Faculty and Empleyees s#f the University:

We do not need an argument as to why we should give te the
Red Cross, nor do we need to specify reasons as te hew much we can
give. You know the answers to both.

 

I have never talked to a Marine, a soldier er a sailer but
who, upon every eccasion, said, "The Red Cross is teps with me. I
have alroady made my contribution. It is the thing that keeps us
living." ‘

I like this slogan: IF YOU CAN'T GO -- GIVE. And anether
hits me right in the midile: GIVE TO THOSE WHO GAVE. Why sheuld I
say mere?

' The Red Cross drive started March lst, but since we had
vacation, I theught it better for this letter ts arrive at yeur desk
after the semester vacatisn is ever and you are ready te put first
— first.

To facilitate your giving we are not asking anyane to call
upon you, but we are asking that you mail your donation te Roem 107
Rebinsen Gymnasium. Presuming that you will make a eentributien, we
ate enclosing the Red Cross sticker and lapel é¢lip, put if yeu find
it impsssible te give, kindly return am te this office.

The faculty and empleyees of the University have always given
intelligently and respended most genereusly. I knew that yeu will dea
your share. The students ore alse being given an pereney to make
their contribution.

Yseurs for a generous and peupenesve gift.

Very sincerely yours,

 

Chairman, K.U. Red Cress Drive fer 1945.
