I have your letter of the 7th inst. I judge by the work you have had to date that it will be possible for you to enter the Middle Class, as you desire. We have on several occasions in the past waived our Latin requirement in the cases of foreigners, consequently you ought to be able to secure your diploma within two years without the Latin. I am sorry, however, that you have come to the conclusion that it is wise to drop the subject. If you win your diploma, your certificate for admission to Cornell is assured. Should you decide to try to enter Cornell without fully completing our course, you would have to stand their regular entrance examinations.
Trusting that the above information will enable you to arrange your work for the summer in a satisfactory manner, believe me, with kind personal regards,
Very sincerely yours,
Principal.
