Dear Dr. Allen:

From my personal experience, when I was in the middle and late
thirties, I believe that directed physical exercise can be of tre-
mendous importance to every other man in the thirties and forties.

I am particularly interested in this at this time because I believe
that intelligently directed exercise may be the very thing that will
restore Dolph to his ordinary, perfect health. The relaxation which
comes from exercise is good in more than one way, because, during
such a time, a man's mind is entirely free from all thoughts of busi-
ness or politics, or whatever it may be.

I took my exercise twice a week at the Y. M. C. A. I wonder
if now there may be available for Dolph any University classes of
this sort in which he might take a part. I have also felt that there
might be a real opportunity for some one to conduct classes for busi-
ness and office men, and, in such a case, it might be possible to
secure the use of the gymnasium at the high school. I should be very
glad to back your judgment in this matter in a practical way, because
my present excellent health, I believe, is quite largely due to the
several years when I took exercise regularly.

For the past four years, every night before I go to bed, no
matter where I am or what the hour, I go through with five hundred
or more exercises of torso and limbs, and, when I am through, Il
drop off to sleep almost immediately.

Is it possible that some of the K. U. athletes or pre-medics
have sufficient knowledge to direct a class of this sort, and, there-
by, aid themselves in making their way through the University?

With great appreciation for what you have meant to me, J remain

'
