Gentlemen:
I have received from Professor E. Swavely, Principal of the Army & Navy Preparatory School at Washington, D.C. a certificate covering the work of Mr. T.Kai Liang at that school. From the certificate we can accept, in place of entrance examinations, the following required subjects: Elementary and Intermediate Algebra; Plane and Solid Geometry; Chemistry; United States History; French. We can also accept the following elective subjects: German; Advanced Algebra; Trigonomety. The required Algebra and Geometry count 3 units, the Chemistry 1 unit, the History 1 unit, and the French 2 units. This leaves 3 required units in English for the work of the current year. The accepted elective subjects amount to 3 units, made up of German 2, Advanced Algebra ½, and Trigonometry ½. This leaves one elective unit to be made up by work during the current year. This may be made in Physics or any other science, or in history or language.
In other words, Mr. Liang lacks four units, having covered ten. Of these four units, three are required and one is elective.
Very truly yours.
