Dear Dr. Allen:

Mr, R. W. Raugh, our former football coach, has just notified me of
his resignation and states that he will come to the University for the
coming school year. Mr. Raugh has had four highly successful years here
at Colby, and he is just thetype of individual that fits into our scheme
of things.

Now that he is leaving, we shall have to replace him; I am writing
to you in hopes that you will be able to recommend someone to take his
place, I think this man should be a married man with perhaps two years
of successful coaching and teaching experience. It will probably be
necessary for us to hire a married man since the single men will all be
in the draft, and we do not wish to employ a person that might not be |
with us throughout: the school year.

Since you are acquainted with Mr. Raugh after having interviewed
him, you should have a pretty good idea of the type of personality that
we like. I think our Board would be willing to pay in the neighborhood
of $1500.00 which is the amount paid Mr. Raugh when he came here.

Mr. Raugh's teaching assignment has been in the field of government,
history, and a course in junior business training. It will probably be |
necessary for us to secure a man to teach in this field since our face

ulty is complete for the coming school year in all other departments.

Since the time is short, I shall appreciate it if you will have
not more than two or three good prospects write to me. If you have
time, I shall be happy to have your appraisal of these men so that I
may have your judgment in guiding me in my selection.

Thanking you for your assistance, I am

Yours very sincerely,

He tC,

. OR, L. Dennen
