Dear ir. Millers

i te a ae us E. Re

; Babel, Associate lrofessor of Physical Education, as a man
worthy and well qualified to do research work in technical
and training fields. Dr. Elbel has had splendid training

and fine experience as a teacher of youth.

; At the present time he has several personal re-
search prejecte and is directing several masters' theses
with the idea of attempting to establish new tests rather
than merely the accepting of a few “pet” ideas along that —
line. His doctor's thesis work was done on reaction tine,
and his master's thesis was on posture and strength tests.
Tt have done some research myself in collaboration with Dr.
Elbel, and have found him very capable.

Dre Elbel has been long associated with the
training and teaching of young men. He is an excellent
teacher and his exemple and bearing heave always been a fine
example to youth. He does not use narcotics nor alcoholics
in any way, yet he understands the problems, that confront
young mene He is sincere, conscientious, and gives the best

I am happy to recommend him without reservation
as a man well qualified and intensely loyal to our nation.

 

Very sincerely yours,
