My dear Miss Young:

I have your letter of the [date illegible] and under separate cover am mailing you a copy of our catalogue. While our courses are arranged primarily to meet the admission requirements of the leading colleges and universities, we have had a number of boys from time to time who have gone to agricultural schools. These boys as a rule have not found it necessary to complete our entire course. The most recent and conspicuous instance of a boy pursuing this course is that of Mr. Jen, one of our Chinese students, who is engaged to the daughter of the recent Chinese Ambassador to this country, Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, and who went directly from this school to the Massachusetts Agricultural College at Amherst where he has made an exceptionally good record. I do not know of the exact requirements of the Iowa State Agriculture College, but I imagine they are not much different from those of the Massachusetts College.

If I can be of further assistance to you, kindly advise me.

Very truly yours,

Creator

Dr. Alfred E. Stearns
