Dear Dr. Allen,
This will acknowledge your letter of January 14,
1941, and the enclosure of a copy of your letter to the

Chancellor, in which you affirm your desire to cooperate
with the Health Service. I had not seen the wording of

the motion passed by the Board of the Physical Education
Corporation until you brought me the copy a few days ago.

    
    
  
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
  
  
 

When I was asked if we would provide medical
care and examinations for athletes in University competition
I was told we were to take care of all groups. You can
readily appreciate my position in being unwilling to accept
responsibility for the health of the boys unless they come
to us as soon as they meed medical attention, and before
they become"hospital patients". By early and adequate care
the need for hospitalization with the resulting loss of
time from classes and from competition can be reduced or
avoided.

We are both interested in good health for our
students, and I am sure we can work harmoniously toward
that objective.
