UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA
CHANCELLORS OFFICE
LINCOLN, NEB. Nov. 2nd, 1891

Prof. Chas. E. Bessey,
University of Nebraska.

Dear Prof. Bessey:-

I wish you would name to me the subjects of one or more somewhat popular Addresses, Lectures, or Talks which you will be willing to give at points that I may name, and under arrangements that I may make, at any time after the first of January next.

I hope to have these delivered before Reading Clubs, Circles, and other literary bodies of light nature. They should not be to exceed one hour in length, and I think myself that fifty minutes is better; and should be arranged to reach and attract the average audience and the average Nebraska town.

What I care about most is putting you into a community in such a way as to give you a welcome and enable you to tie yourself and to us some of the people who are interested- or should be interested- in University work, and some of the younger people who ought to finish their education here.

I will, of course, make the necessary arrangements for your expenses, but I think we ought not to expect any remuneration; and will see that your class work here does not suffer in your absence. By this I do not mean the classes can be carried while you are away, but that I will co-operate with you in making some arrangement by which they themselves may push on their work advantageously for a day or two without your presence.

Very Cordially Yours,
James H. Canfield,
Chancellor.
