Dear Sir:-&#13;
&#13;
I have your letter of Aug. 30th regarding Mr. Sen Yan Yung.&#13;
&#13;
I am very much indebted to you for this letter. I wrote Professor Bancroft July 26th stating that we would admit Mr. Yung to the Freshman class without examination in all subjects except English. If he passes our course in English in the Sophomore year we will consider him passed in our entrance English. We have to grant foreigners this privilege at times.&#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours,&#13;
&#13;
DICTATED BY P. C. R.&#13;
BUT NOT REVISED. &#13;

West Derry, N.H.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Yung, &#13;
&#13;
I have written to President Ricketts of the Rensselaer Institute at Troy, N.Y. stating your case and asking that your application be given careful consideration. I did not understand that you wished in addition a record of your work here. I am inclosing one, however, which I trust may meet all necessary requirements. &#13;
&#13;
With best wishes, as always, believe me, &#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours, &#13;

&#13;
Dear Sir:&#13;
&#13;
In reply to your favor of the 22nd in regard to Mr. Sen Yan Yung, I wish to state that he has had the full course in this school with the following grades:&#13;
&#13;
Algebra to Quadratics C-, A, B+&#13;
Algebra through Quadratics, D, D, D.&#13;
&#13;
The latter course he reviewed in the spring term of the following year, to prepare himself for the entrance examinations, with a grade of B. He also carried a four-hour course in Advanced Algebra, with the grades of D+, C- and B. In Geometry, he took in 1905-06 a three-hour course with the grades of C-, C, C- and in the following year, for the spring term only, took a course of two hours, in which emphasis is laid on Originals, with a grade of B-. The time of the first two terms ordinarily given to this subject he devoted to the Solid Geometry, which he passed with a grade of B-. He took no Arithmetic with us, but I assume from his grades in the numerical portion of his Algebra that he is qualified in this subject. I trust that you can grant him admission to your institution on this showing. &#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours. &#13;
&#13;
Cecil Bankcroft &#13;

Dear Sir:-&#13;
&#13;
I have your letter of the 18th inst. relating to the entrance of Mr. Sen Yan Yung to this institution, together with three enclosures which I will return after you have answered the following inquiries.&#13;
	&#13;
We are more particularly interested in the young man’s Algebra through Quadratic Equations and his Geometry. Will you kindly write me telling me whether he &#13;
took Algebra through Quadratic Equations in your school and whether he did satisfactory work in this, and also how much Geometry he took. I believe from his marks that he did satisfactory work in both these subjects at your school but cannot definitely tell how much work he took.&#13;
&#13;
I would be willing to admit him on probation in English since he is a foreigner. We give a rather stiff course in English here and should he pass that we could cross off his conditions in elementary English.&#13;
&#13;
Awaiting your reply, I am, &#13;
&#13;

&#13;
Troy, N.Y.&#13;
Dear Sir:&#13;
&#13;
Mr. Sen Yan Yung, another one of the Chinese Boys of whom I wrote you recently, has just asked me to write you in his behalf. Mr. Yung to enter your Institution this fall. I think he has already sent you his college credits, if not, he will doubtless do so very soon. Mr. Yung is a fine, gentlemanly, and ambitious fellow, who has made a good record here, and who will continue to do so with you I feel confident. I shall be glad to have you advise me if you have not yet received his college credits.&#13;
&#13;
 Very truly yours,&#13;
&#13;

Principal&#13;
