2nd Ploor Pinance Bldg.,

‘Dear Lieutenant Crosby:

Your inquiry of the 25th instant in reference to
Robert Sansom Charlton has been received.

I have mown young Charlton from childhood and during
the time he was in Lewrence Memorial High School. He was
also in my classes here at the University of Kansas.
Charlton is a fine, clean, young man. He has a pleasing
personality, although at times he is uconvincing. He is
loyal, cooperative, and his reactions are always on the
right side. He does not have a dominant personality, al-
though he does have a pleasing one. His character is abovo
reproach, but he does not possess that rugged, fl int~like
type of personality that we look for in dominant leaders.
Doubtless he has grown much during his time in the service.

Very sincerely yours,

 Direoter of Physical Education,
