Dear Harold:

; I'm glad te acknowledge reosipt ef your good
letter of the llth instant. I assure you we were happy
to have you and that_you did very excellent work. I'm
gied that you feel thet your stay at the oe of
Kansas has been worthwhile.

I'm happy that Warren Reigel will enroll this
fall. I have written to Harold McSpadden and told him
we would be gled to give him a job, but of course if “Prosty*
wants to make him an offer that would lure him away, that's
O.K. by mee I have never been enthusiastic about a boy that
would change his Institution for a little better job.

I have always found that a man that would sell his

- academic birthright for a mess of pottage is short-sighted and
is really selling himself short. Why would Harold need a much
more lucrative Job than his older brother? ‘They both come from
the same family and I see no reason why if a boy is offered a
job that helps him through school, that he would have to ge to
another school to get a little better job.

With all good wishes, I ana,

Sincerely yours,

_ Director of Physical Education and
