Dear Dr. Allen:

Three years ago, several of us got together at the
request of the Institute for Inter-National Education and
Kepresentatives from the United States Bureau of Education,
with the idea of financing the University expenses of. Latin
American students who might be selected to attend Kansas
University. ‘The District Rotary became very interested,
and set aside the sum of $200 for payment of the fees of
such a student. this was done for two years, and two
‘Latin American students have been enrolled during that
time. Their room and board was provided through the gen-«
erosity of various fraternities on the campus.

it was felt that these students, by their contacts
among the students and throughout the state, were very
valuable assets. ‘this last spring, I was informed that
the District had again set aside the necessary $200 for
the Latin American Exchange Student and Mr. Klooz informed
me that Mr. Ambrose Johnston of Manhattan was charged
with the assignment of this fund. I immediately wrote
to Mr. Johnston on July 16, asking for information concern-
ing the possibility of using this scholarship. I have not
received any reply to this letter or to subsequent letters
to Nr. Johnston. I then telephoned Mr. Johnston at Manhattan
in August, and received the reply that it had been difficult
for him to get in touch with the other two members of the
committee concerned with the assignment of this scholarship
moneye He promised to get some decision on the matter as
soon soon as possible. On September 16 I again wrote to
Mre Johnston to which letter I received no acknowledgment.
it seems to me that there was nothing in my letters which
did not warrant the courtesy of a reply.
