Text of Warren Letter
Following is the full text of Warren’s letter of resignation to
Athletic Director Leo Harris.
Dear Sir:
Because I am going into business in Eugene, I tender my
resignation as basketball coach at the University of Oregon as
of October 1, 1951
Having graduated from the University and having been here
as a coach for 16 years, I naturally have a deep afftection for
the University of Oregon and I will miss the boys and my
basketball team. -However, because of the uncertainty and
pressure on a coach and his family, I feet it is advisable to go
into something more secure.
I realize this is late in the year to resign but I have an oppor
tunity now to go into a business. I feel sure you will be able to
hire a satisfactory basketball coach before the season starts, but
in case fo some unforseen difficulties I will continue coaching
to November 1, 1951 rather than leave without u coach the boys
I regard so highly and am so fond of.
Yours Truly,
John A. Warren
