My dear Sir:
Mr. Kai Liang, one of your former students, is applying for admission to this school. In talking with Mr. Liang I have been led to wonder whether it is not possible for him to secure from you entrance certificate to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute which he hopes to enter later in at least a few subjects. If this Institute will grant the boy admission credits in two or three subjects it will greatly facilitate the arrangement of his schedule with us. It is rather difficult for me to make Mr. Liang understand what I mean, and so I am taking the liberty of writing to you. He hopes to enter our Senior Class, but the members of that class have all passed off by examination or secured by certificate entrance requirements of the higher institutions they expect to enter in approximately one half of the work required for admission. Probably Mr. Liang would not be able to do so well as this. Admission credits, however few, would be of the greatest value to him at this time.
Thanking you in advance for such information as you may be able to give me, believe me
Very sincerely yours,
Prin. of Army and Navy Preparatory School
