THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Lawrence

Mareh 5, 1945

i the Faculty and Employees sf the University:

' We do not need an argument as to why we should give te the
Red Cross, ner do we need to specify reasons as te hew much we can

 

give. You know the answers to bth.

I have never talked to a Marine, a soldier er a sailer but
who, upon every sccasion, said, "The Red Cross is taps with me. I

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 more?

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

To facilitate your giving we are not asking anyene to call
upon you, but wé are asking that you mail your donation ts Rorm 107
Robinson Gymnasium. Preswaing that you will make a e«ntributicn, we
ate enclosing the Red Cross sticker and lapel clip, but if yeu find
it impessible to give, kindly return them to this ¢ffice.

The faculty and emplsyees of the University have always given

intelligently and responded most generously. I knew that you will de

your share. The students are alse being given on oppertunity to make
their contribution.

Yours for a generous and responsive gift.

Very sincerely yours,
