                <text>Dear Mary:&#13;
&#13;
I have your last letter and hardly know what to advise you.&#13;
&#13;
From our earlier correspondence and as the result of your urgent pleadings, I gathered that the opportunity to take the nursing course at Yale would be welcomed by you with keen enthusiasm. After the long and not altogether easy negoiations [sic] I have carried through with your father to bring this opportunity within your reach, it distresses me beyond words to have it appear that you are still undecided as to whether you should go there or somewhere else.&#13;
&#13;
One thing is clear, and that is that your father infinitely prefers that you should complete a regular college course. If, therefore, you can secure admission to Mount Holyoke College, my advice is to carry through the negotiations and enroll there at once, even if this requires summer work in English or in any other subjects. I certainly have no desire to urge further the nursing course at Yale or anywhere else if you are not in a state of mind to welcome it as a great opportunity of your life. It would be a sad mistake for you to take the course if you had lingering questions in your mind on this subject, and that is why I am about ready now to urge vigorously that you make Mount Holyoke your goal. Whatever decision you make, however, should be made at once, so that the opportunity the summer offers you for meeting any necessary requirements can be used in fullest measure.&#13;
&#13;
Please let me know at once what the final decision is to be.&#13;
&#13;
Faithfully yours, </text>

&#13;
Your special delivery letter has just arrived, and the contents relieved my mind a good bit.&#13;
&#13;
By all means, push now for admission to the Yale Nursing School. If that proves an impossibility we can perhaps work out a transfer to Mount Holyoke later, though I imagine that such transfer would involve a year’s loss in your college standing, and I am not sure that your father would favor that If summer work and hard study is necessary to insure the Yale admission, go to it and get started at the earliest possible date.&#13;
&#13;
Let me hear promptly what you hear from Yale, and what the prospects are.&#13;
&#13;
Faithfully yours,&#13;
&#13;
Headmaster.</text>

&#13;
Many thanks for your note and for giving me your address. In spite of the mosquitoes, I hope that the camp and your experience there will make the summer one of the best, if not the best, and the most worth-while of any you have ever known.&#13;
&#13;
With all good wishes, believe me&#13;

                <text>Dear Miss Sun:&#13;
&#13;
Although our advanced standing list for next year was closed the first of April, we should be glad to receive a late application from you. I am, therefore, enclosing an application card, which we should like to have returned to us as soon as possible with the application fee of $10. I am enclosing also some blanks which are not usually sent until after the registration card and fee are received. It is so late in the year, however, that I am sending these at this time. Will you be good enough to return them to us soon?&#13;
&#13;
Admission to advanced standing is on a competitive basis, as we can accept only about 40 of the 200 who apply. A successful competitor should, therefore, have an average in college not lower than B. She should also have met our entrance requirements as to units. No classification is made of advanced standing students until the end of their first year here, unless they have passed the College Board examinations and at least two years of residence are required for the degree.&#13;
&#13;
I am mailing under separate cover a copy of the last Wellesley Calendar in which you will find information about admission to advanced standing on page 37. May I also call your attention to the requirements for the degree on pages 39 to 41. If you wish to graduate with 1930, you would have to meet the requirements for that class.&#13;
&#13;
We should be glad to have the blanks I am enclosing returned to us as soon as possible. If questions arise about admission, will you not write?&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;
&#13;
Enclosure&#13;
&#13;
Assistant Secretary to Board of Admission&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr. Sun:&#13;
&#13;
I am enclosing a letter which contains important information about life at Wellesley College and the equipment necessary for rooms. The health blanks should receive your daughter’s immediate attention, as they form an important part of her credentials. The Board of Admission can consider no applicant whose health records are incomplete when the Board meets.&#13;
&#13;
This year the College hopes to room all advanced standing students on the campus. If your daughter is accepted, will she write early in August to Miss Edith S. Tufts, Dean of Residence, stating her preference with regard to rooms? Miss Tufts will be glad at that time to give her any advice or information possible.&#13;
If you or your daughter have further questions about any matter of admission, please do not delay writing to us for information.&#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours,&#13;
 &#13;
Assistant Secretary to the Board of Admission&#13;

&#13;
We should be very glad indeed to have you register for entrance to Mount Holyoke College with advanced standing from Elmira College.&#13;
&#13;
We do require that students entering in this way shall present records of high order. We can promise nothing definite about your entrance, therefore, until an official transcript of the Elmira College record is in our hands together with a marked copy of the catalogue indicating the courses which you have taken.&#13;
&#13;
We enclose a registration card for your use, and are sending separately a copy of the Mount Holyoke College catalogue.&#13;
&#13;
We shall be glad to make note of&#13;
 &#13;

                <text>My dear Dr. Stearns,&#13;
&#13;
I just received my marks for the last semester.&#13;
&#13;
A general improvement in every subject except one.&#13;
&#13;
Public Speaking and Debating	00&#13;
&#13;
Political Science	—	77&#13;
&#13;
Economics			70&#13;
&#13;
Physical education	75&#13;
&#13;
Commercial and Industrial Geography—81 Ave	-78.6 &#13;
&#13;
My Public Speaking and debating mark did not change. My mark in Political Science increased from 74 to 77. Economics mark was decreased from 72 to 70. The Geography mark improved from 70 pf last semester to 81 of this semester. The Physical Education is a new semester course, which I started this last semester. Public Speaking, Economics, and Political Science are Year Courses, with a comprehensive examination in June, and the other two courses are semester courses.&#13;
&#13;
My average last semester in February was something like 76.6, and this semester is 78.3, an improvement of two points in average. I hope this will be satisfactory.&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely</text>
