Dear Brother:-
Yours of the 28th ult. came to hand in my absence. At my earliest opportunity I conferred with President Clippinger about accepting the chairmanship of the Committee on Administration. I explained to him my utter unfitness to cope with such a task in the light of the new "Otterbein Program" and also the limitation of time. He feels that I ought to accept it and I told I would cocur [sic] in your judgement with this proviso that if a little later the proper man comes to the front you will not hesitate to make it known and I will give place to him.
I want to see the College come to the front and take her rightful place in the world's work and am willing to act or not act just so the work advances. I than you for considering my name and if you finally decide to use me in that capacity I shall begin the study of the problem and do the best I can.
Sincerely,
