Deer Mr. Bbaugh:

Dr. Allen has just asked me to write to you regarding our course in
Aeronautical Engineering. I am pleased to note that you are interested
in this field of engineering.

We have been giving a standard curriculum in Aeronautical Engineering

for eleven years as a professional option in the Department of Mechanical
Engineerings We usually have some graduate students in this department
from various parts of the United States ho come to the University of
Kansas to secure their master’s degree in Aeronauties. The federal
authorities informed us last winter that it was due to our ploneering
work in aeronautical research that we were chosen as one of the schools
to try out the Civil Aeronautics Authority aviation training program. We
have twenty students as our quote being given free flight instruction and
we expect a much larger quote next year. We expect this program to con~
tinue at least five years.

From your scholastic stending in high school, you should not find it dif-
ficult to get a Cs Se Bs P. appointment. We endeavor to have our students
on the Ne Ys Ae program appointed to assist in our department. We use the
boys who expect to take the Aeronautics Option in our Aeronauties Labora-
tory work where they can learn a great deal of value such as making wind
tunnel test models, various set-ups for aeronautical experiments and the
like.

This spring we secured a government grant for wind tunnel research which
we expect to continue next year. This work may be expanded to provide
soma employment for the advanced students in Aeronautical Engineering.

I suggest that you get your application in to Miss Martha Tillman for the
Ce Se Be Pe appointment soon. We will be pleased to assist you in every
way we can to secure your education.

Very truly yours,

 

Professor Bari D. Hay, Head
Mechanical Engineering Dept.
