Dear Dr. Allen:

This letter comes to you from a boy whe has participated
little in athletics, but who has come to appreciate what
sports really mean. I want to thank you for that appre-
clation.

T feel that you are building an everlasting tribute to
yourself all over the United States, and especially at K.U.
I have had the pleasure of knowing a good many of your
boys, and every one of them was a clean sportsman. What's
more, there is not a one of those boys who would permit

a careless remark to be made about you.

I have seen you go to bat for one of your boys and to take
his part when others were willing to let him down. That's
really sportsmanship in its richest connotation. I know
of no other man who has made it possible for so many fine
boys tO go to A, Ua.

All this may sound a little sentimental, but it comes
straight from the heart. While I have never had the
pleasure of knowing you intimately, I feel that in my
last year in the University I came to know you through
such boys as Kresie and Bob Johnson, and of course, your
own boy in the law school. Now as I leave Lawrence

I feel that I can say these things.

The best of luck to you in all your wdertakings. And
may the future bring you a sense cf satisfaction in
knowing that you're doing a tremendous jcb and dcing
it well.

Sincerely,

Nik Utfcthas
