THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS | 7
Lawrence

- eee / A Hs

March 5, 1945

To the Faculty and Empleyees sf the University:

We do not need an argument as to why we should give to -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 sailor but -
who, upon every tccasion, said, "The Red Cross is teps with me. :

have already made my contribution. It is the thing that keeps us
living."

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

The Red Cross drive started March Ist, but since we had
vacation, I thought it better fcr this letter ts arrive at your desk

after the semester vacatisn is cver and ysu are ready to put first
things first.

To facilitate your giving we are not asking anyene to call
upon you, but we are asking that you mail your donation te Roem 107
Rebinson Gymnasium. Presuaing that you will make a s:ntributioen, we
ate enclosing the Red Cross sticker and lapel clip, but if yeu find
it -impessible to give, kindly return them to this cffice.

The faculty and emplsyees of the University have always given

intelligently and respended most generously... I knew that yeu will de

your share. The students are alse being given an eppertunity to make
their contribution. ca

Ysurs fer a generous and responsive gift.

Very sincerely yours,

 

Chairman, KU. Red Cress Drive fer 1945.
