November 21, 1941.

Mr. Jemes N. Snyder,
Captain, CAC,
Fert Leavenworth, Kansas.

Dear Captain Snyder:

I have your favor of the 17th instant, and regret
exceedingly that the “F" grade in physical education showed
up on your transcript. During the time that you were in
the University we hed a rule that all students in the
College were automatically enrolled in physical education.

If the student did not show up for class he was automatically
given a flunk grade.

I think it was an abominable ruling, but that is the
way it was handled at that time. R.0.T.C. work was given
credit, or rather served as a substitute for physical educa-
tion. The error in your case is not the first one, and
since the damage is done I do not see how we can erase that
from your transcript.

Would it help you any for me to give you a letter,
taking the blame for the error in our department and stating
that the “F" should not be on your transcript? If this is
satisfactory to you I will be very glad to write to your
commanding general or any officer that you may wish, making
a full explanation. If this is not entirely pleasing to you
I will be glad to take it up with our dean and see if some
action cannot be taken which will have this withdrawn from
your transcript.

Won't you please let me hear from you? I assure

you that I will do everything within my power to cooperate
with you in giving you the just grade which you earned in
R.O.T.C. and not have this unfortunate accident charged
against your fine record.

With all good wishes, I gm

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation,
PCA:AH Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach.
