Highland, Kansas

Dear Robert;

I acknowledge receipt of your letter of
June 12th, and I'm very happy to hear from you.
We will be glad to have you at the University of
fensas, and I will do all in my power to help you
arrive at your desire, that is, of playing on the
University of Kansas basketball tean.

I am very sure that as you train and study
diligently that you will achieve that desire. I'm
glad that you are more interested in an education
than you are in other activities, because after all
when you train your brain, that training is good for
fifty years. “hen you train your muscles, it's good
for eight or nine years at top speed. ‘5o, you can
see the intellectual motive in training your brain.

We will be glad to give you work commensurate
with your desires and ability. A chap who is a good
student oan work more hours than a boy who is an ordinary
student. If you work more than two hours a day, you cen
not carry a full load in Kansas University. This is a
University rule. That is not up to you or to me, but up
te the University authorities.

We shall put your name on our list as soon as
you come to the University and have your physical examination
end get enrolled. We will endeavor to fit your work to agree
with your schedule. This is the plan we have for all students.
Assuring you that it is a pleasure to meet you and to know
thet you desire to make the best of your capabilities, I am
with kindest personal regards,

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical | Education and
