Dear President Tresidder,

In reply to your letter of March, I have definite plans to continue my schooling upon [recession?] of hostilities. Since my home address is several hunderd miles from Palo Alto, and since I will be obliged to work during the daytime, I seriously doubt that I will be able to return to Stanford for the courses I desire. These courses concern business law, business administration and kindred subjects. I feel, as do most men of my acquaintance, and of my age (27) that the University should develop a program along the lines of extension school work. If this were done, men whose education was interrupted by the war and who will not have the opportunity for full-time learning [at?] its conclusion, can take a more practical course, without so much emphasis on prerequisites and required cultural courses.

If the extension plan is impracticable, then advisors should be permitted more latitude in considering individual students
