Dear Sir:
Will you kindly send me such information as you have available relating to the admission requirements of the Tufts Dental School, and may I also ask whether you would be willing to accept a Chinese student on the basis of special student?
I have under my care, among others, a Chinese boy now twenty-one years of age whose father has been a prominent official in the Northern Government of China and who is anxious to have his boy to study dentistry. Unfortunately, the boy in question has not had extensive work along the lines which we naturally expect of boys who are in this country entering on their professional school work, and because of his age, I don’t believe he ought to attempt it. He has, however, had three years in this country, investing most of this time in the Genesee Wesleyan Seminary in New York State and part of it here at Andover.
In view of the circumstances above mentioned, I can’t help forlonging that this boy should start at once on his professional work, if this can be arranged. On the other hand, if there is some further preparation which from your point of view seems desirable and necessary, I should be prepared to plan for it if it is not to involve too long a period of time.
Any help or suggestions you are willing to give me to aid me solving my problem will be very deeply appreciated.
Very sincerely yours.
