Andover, Mass.
My dear Mr. Stearns:
Your letter to Mr. Esty has been referred to me for information concerning the admission of Kuo Fang Tsai. It is the case here that we are ready to accept the study of the Chinese classics in lieu of Latin provided we can get some acceptable assurance that it has been a practical equivalent in character and amount to our requirement in Latin. This would mean a minimum of five years actual "classical" study in Chinese. If there is any way in which Mr. Tsai can present documents showing such preparation we will be very happy to credit him.
Tom asks me to extend to you his very warmest regards.
Cordially yours
Mr. Alfred E. Stearns, Principal
