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. Dean William Rice Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

We do not accept special students except graduates of foreign schools who desire instruction along special lines Yours sincerely William Rice Dean William Rice Dr. Alfred E.

My dear Mr. Rice: Thank you for your clear-cut reply to my recent letter of inquiry. I am afraid that your young Chinese friend is not fully qualified to meet the entrance requirements of the Tufts College Dental School though I have not yet received the catalogue and so have had no chance to examine in detail the nature and extent of the requirements in question. My assumption is based on your own references to them. I wonder if you would be good enough to offer suggestions, if you have any, which would help me in finding a plane for this youngster to study dentistry. Of course if he were an American boy, I should not dream of urging him to do this without a thorough and sound preparation. As it Is, I am simply trying to carry out his father’s instructions and do not know just where to turn. I imagine that in China, at least, a dentist with a limited background might still render real service to his country. If there are any fairly responsible schools with admission standards that would enable this boy to get started, would you be willing to call my attention to them. Thanking you in advance for any help you can give me in a somewhat difficult problem, believe me Very sincerely yours, Dean William Rice Dr. Alfred E.

Explains only unclassified schools can accept dental students with only a high school diploma. Lists 3 schools, including Tufts. Agrees with opinion that there should be a school for foreign students who don't fulfill all requirements in order to gain some experience.

Stearns Phillips Academy Andover, Mass Dear Mr. Stearns: Under the rules of the Dental Educational Council only an unclassified school may accept a student for the study of dentistry who has high school work only as his preliminary education. The Dental Department of the University of California is an excellent school and is in the unclassified list, the other two being Cincinnati College of Dental Surgery and Texas Dental College neither of which should I be willing to recommend* Japan has several excellent schools, but of course it would not do to suggest that a Chinese attend a Japanese school. I am in accord with your opinion that there should be some responsible school where foreign students who do not fulfill to the "letter" all requirements for admission to Class A schools might be able to get a limited background in dentistry that would enable them to give Mr. Stearns much needed service in their native country.

My dear Mr. Rice: Thank you for your prompt and satisfactory reply to my recent letter of inquiry. I am afraid that the distances involved in connection with the dental colleges you have mentioned would prove prohibitive even if It seemed wise for other reasons to advise my Chinese friend to take a course in one of those dental schools, evidently the first thing for him to do in any case is to secure the full equivalent of a high school training.
