                <text>My dear Mr. Humphreys:&#13;
&#13;
We are having a little trouble in straightening out the work of Arthur Sun, one of our Chinese students now in the Senior class, with reference to admission to the Institute next fall. The case has already been called to the attention of your office, and has undoubtedly been dealt with very fairly, but Mr. Newton, our Senior Class Officer, and I are wondering whether it may yet be possible to secure a little more in the way of admission credits from the boy's previous record in China, notably at Tsing Hua College. I believe you will allow a substitution of Chinese for the regular German requirement? If so, that particular difficulty will be taken care of. Is there no way that the History requirement can be made on the basis of the work covered in China, which includes a large amount of Chinese History and Literature? Also is it possible that some subject of subjects on that list can be used for the two-year elective requirement. If an answer to those inquiries can be made in the affirmative, I believe we shall have no difficulty in rounding out the boy's preparation and sending him to you next fall. I am sending back the Tsing Hua certificate for your assistance. &#13;
&#13;
I might say that Arthur Sun, the boy in question, happens to live in my own house. He is a very earnest and hard working fellow and has real ability in certain lines; in Mechanical Drawing he is one of the best in the class. &#13;
&#13;
With personal regards, believe me &#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours, </text>

Mr. Walter Humphreys, Registrar, &#13;
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. &#13;
Boston, Mass. &#13;
&#13;
Dear Sir:-&#13;
&#13;
I wish to thank you for the copy of the records made by candidates from this school for admission to the Institute. I note that Tsai, one of our Chinese boys, is in trouble because of the lack of a testimonial for his Geometry. The boy did very well on the theorems but not so well on the application of them, and as he did not pass his course in the spring term his instructor, who is inclined to regard a recommendation as a guarantee denied him one. If his record on your examination seems to warrant his being credited with that subject, we should be perfectly willing to have him accepted. He has been a faithful student with us.  His brother has made an exceptionally fine record at Cornell, and I think this boy is capable of equal attainment. In view of the boy’s being a foreigner, we should be glad to see any favor in the way of entrance examinations extended to him which your Committee on Admissions sees fit to grant.&#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours.&#13;
&#13;
Registrar&#13;
