Transcription
Dear Miss Sun:
Although our advanced standing list for next year was closed the first of April, we should be glad to receive a late application from you. I am, therefore, enclosing an application card, which we should like to have returned to us as soon as possible with the application fee of $10. I am enclosing also some blanks which are not usually sent until after the registration card and fee are received. It is so late in the year, however, that I am sending these at this time. Will you be good enough to return them to us soon?
Admission to advanced standing is on a competitive basis, as we can accept only about 40 of the 200 who apply. A successful competitor should, therefore, have an average in college not lower than B. She should also have met our entrance requirements as to units. No classification is made of advanced standing students until the end of their first year here, unless they have passed the College Board examinations and at least two years of residence are required for the degree.
I am mailing under separate cover a copy of the last Wellesley Calendar in which you will find information about admission to advanced standing on page 37. May I also call your attention to the requirements for the degree on pages 39 to 41. If you wish to graduate with 1930, you would have to meet the requirements for that class.
We should be glad to have the blanks I am enclosing returned to us as soon as possible. If questions arise about admission, will you not write?
Very sincerely yours,
Enclosure
Assistant Secretary to Board of Admission
My dear Mr. Sun:
I am enclosing a letter which contains important information about life at Wellesley College and the equipment necessary for rooms. The health blanks should receive your daughter’s immediate attention, as they form an important part of her credentials. The Board of Admission can consider no applicant whose health records are incomplete when the Board meets.
This year the College hopes to room all advanced standing students on the campus. If your daughter is accepted, will she write early in August to Miss Edith S. Tufts, Dean of Residence, stating her preference with regard to rooms? Miss Tufts will be glad at that time to give her any advice or information possible.
If you or your daughter have further questions about any matter of admission, please do not delay writing to us for information.
Very truly yours,
Assistant Secretary to the Board of Admission
