AMERICAN UNIVERSITY AT CAIRO Memorandum to the Property Committee October 26, 1938 To Members the Property Committee: * La®t 7far 1 expressed my dissatisfaction with the arrangement j of the English Oflice as I found it upon my return from furlough. Abdul Fatteh Effendi, the Caterer in the Hostel, has requested assigned as another office. A large dulab which we hadhad for mam permission tV apetf a Canteen for Bay Students^ It* seems a wise bought l our requestf. As the year passed, conditions became so bad with re- mo re grounds,areo that students need not f thd Engnsh teachers made^no effort to use the office for study; this ir, leave for lunch.

I respectfully request that an adjustment be &fs dp the co nslcftfre 116W3bf stt appropriate iOOation for &r- such a Canteen.

The present English office could become the | room for the Egyptian teachers; they formerly had the room and were quite satisfied with it so far as I esn recall. Possibly the room i too small for the present needs of >$Q#JC$vs, but one poin in favor of the move would be that the office would be placed neared, to Amir Eff.^who is chairman of the department. To have the English office re-locatJS^l^^tcftm would be of great advantage to our group. It would give Bursar privacy which vs seek. It would place us nearer Room 5 which Mr. Alexander consist#.n uses; Room 6 could also be adopted more or less as an English clas? - Jfl «
