                <text>Dear Mary:&#13;
&#13;
On my return from a week-end trip. I find your letter of recent date and also a letter from your father, dated May 23. Your father writes as follows in regard to the Nursing School plan:&#13;
&#13;
"Since Mary is naturally inclined to nursing and you and Dean Harris are of the same opinion, it seems best that Mary should change the subjects of her studies to Nursing which would arouse her interest in her college work. Of late, western medical science has made wonderful progress and I am fully aware of its usefulness. So please kindly make due arrangements with the Elmira College authorities for Mary.&#13;
&#13;
This leaves us a clear road ahead, and I am counting on you to take the necessary steps, and immediately, to insure your admission to the Yale Nursing School next fall. If there are any forms connected with your admission that have to be filled out or signed by me, I shall be ready to do my part, but the prime responsibility must necessarily fall on you; so don't waste a moment in finding out everything that is required and in sending the Yale authorities--Dean [illegible], I suppose, being the natural representative-whatever data they require. Be sure to have the Elmira authorities supply a complete statement of your work at that college. &#13;
&#13;
I am counting on you now to take a wholly new and more enthusiastic and cheerful attitude towards your work. Further, I am counting on you to take this summer any work that may perhaps be necessary to enable you to enter Yale in the fall with the very best preparation possible to meet and meet with high standing the requirements of the Yale Nursing School. &#13;
&#13;
Faithfully yours, </text>

                <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;

                <text>My dear Miss Sun:&#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>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;

                <text>Dear Charlie:&#13;
&#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;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,</text>
