Dear Mrse Allen:

Knowing of yous interest in Jolm Buescher's
welfare at the University, I thought it might be well
to send you the reports we are getting from his ine |
structors this semester. It looks rather hopeless for
John, but I wondered if a tutor might help him enough
to wes him Through Uith pmaeing geatete

talk about John's progress, but I thought you might have.
a chance to discuss it with him some times

John is doing "D" work in S2i{ Physical Education,
the only pa grade to date. He is failing in Social
Soience Survey (for the second time), in Zoology and in
Rhetoric Ie Mre “Westbrook, his Rhetoric instructor says
wie cannot mderstand assigmente ~ gets all assigmente
in late — chances of passing very poore" This seans to
be the case in Zoology, also; he does not seem to grasp
the assigments that are mide. Mree McNair, his. Zoology
instructor, says: "Possi able to do passing work, but
has shom very little + or initiativee ‘Seens to
make no preparation for daily worke" | ;
