My dear Dr. Stearns,
I just had a conference with Dr. Furniss, the associate dean of the graduate school. To make the story short, I was admitted.
One significant feature of Yale is that they will not confer a master's degree until the student has completed two years residence. Requirement for doctor's degree is like other colleges, three years. Therefore, all the course requirements for PhD can be completed in the first two years, and the third year will be spent to write the thesis, which must be acceptable to be published in book form.
I saw Mary last night and am having lunch with her this noon. I am going back to Middlebury this afternoon arriving there to-night. If you wish to write me, please write me there.
Sincerely yours Thomas Sun
