May I ask you to return the examation [sic] papers when you are through with them. We find that he is especially weak in mathematics and that he has had no modern language whatever, (except Chinese and English). Cornell would be a rather favorable institution for him to enter because, if he secures a certificate record, we can get him in there without his taking the College Board examinations. It is not an easy matter, however, to get this "B" average, especially as he is way behind in the two subjects mentioned above. I find, however, that he is quite well qualified intellectually in English though the requirements for reading that he must meet are rather long; and that he will probably get along quite easily in Physics. He must, however, have at least two years of French and he is technically due to have three years of Mathematics, which may by tutoring be shortened to two. My conclusion is that he ought not to think of trying to get into Cornell in one year, even if he can stand extraordinary pressure of studies. Any engineering course, as you know, requires strong mathematical foundation, and that is his weakest point. I therefore plan to start him at the foundation in mathematics and French, hoping that with extra care he may be able in two years to accomplish enough to admit him to an engineering course in college. I have planned to go lightly on the technical work, specializing largely in drawing, with a minimum of shopwork. In fact, I consider him a special student and not classified according to our momenclature [sic]. I will give him a seat with our college preparatory juniors. Of course this plan is tenative [sic], subject to variation as Liang is tried out. Very truly yours, Charles F. Warner. Charles F. Warner George C. Gardner Tommy Liang
