Dear Sir:
In reply to your favor of the 22nd in regard to Mr. Sen Yan Yung, I wish to state that he has had the full course in this school with the following grades:
Algebra to Quadratics C-, A, B+
Algebra through Quadratics, D, D, D.
The latter course he reviewed in the spring term of the following year, to prepare himself for the entrance examinations, with a grade of B. He also carried a four-hour course in Advanced Algebra, with the grades of D+, C- and B. In Geometry, he took in 1905-06 a three-hour course with the grades of C-, C, C- and in the following year, for the spring term only, took a course of two hours, in which emphasis is laid on Originals, with a grade of B-. The time of the first two terms ordinarily given to this subject he devoted to the Solid Geometry, which he passed with a grade of B-. He took no Arithmetic with us, but I assume from his grades in the numerical portion of his Algebra that he is qualified in this subject. I trust that you can grant him admission to your institution on this showing.
Very truly yours.
