Mrs. William C. Russell
Whittier School
Merrimac, Mass.
My dear Mrs. Russell:
I have just received the accompanying documents from the Registrar of Elmira College. May I trouble you to have these filled out, so far as possible, and returned to me before they are sent to Elmira.
I am sorry to have to bother you so much with the details of Mary’s admission to college, but evidently this is one of the rather exacting duties that falls upon the heads of schools at this particular time of year.
Very Sincerely yours,
Alfred S. Stearns
P. S. Kindly return all the papers, including the instruction sheet.
The Committee on Admission to Elmira College has received your application. Since the number of candidates for admission exceeds the number the College is prepared to educate, the Trustees have limited the number of entering students. This committee has, therefore, been empowered to make a selection from those applicants who have satisfied the scholastic entrance requirements as set forth in the Catalogue of Elmira College.
As a basis of selection, the Committee will consider the candidate’s scholarship, character, and seriousness of purpose. Decisions will be reached after a comparative evaluation of the claims of all applicants.
In order to assist the Committee in this selection, you are asked to fill out the enclosed blank and to return it immediately. Unless specifically requested, no acknowledgment of your reply will be given until your application has been considered.
Prior to final action the Committee must receive:
1. A notification from the Registrar of the College that you have made a deposit of $5.00 for registration fee.
2. A notification from the Registrar of the College that you have satisfied in full the scholastic requirements for entrance;
3. The return of the enclosed blank, properly and completely filled out.
The Committee will inform candidates of their prospects as rapidly as possible after requirements 1 and 3 have been met.
Send replies to Registrar, Elmira College, Elmira, N. Y.
