July 30, 1918.&#13;
Mr. L. E. Lynde&#13;
Assistant to the Principal Phillips Academy Andover, Massachusetts.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr. Lynde:&#13;
&#13;
I have your letter of July 27th regarding the admission of Mr. Ting Kai Liang to New York University. The record shows that the applicant is to be credited with 13 units of entrance credit, and the requirements for admission to any of the collegiate departments of New York University is 15 units. He lacks, moreover, the required 3 units of English. It would, therefore, not be possible for him to enter any of our regular college courses. If he is over twenty-one he would be eligible to enter the School of Commerce, Accounts and Finance as a special student, if he desired to matriculate in that School.&#13;
&#13;
I shall be glad to do anything further that I can in regard to the matter, and thank you for bringing the case to my attention. &#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours,&#13;
Milton E. Loomis&#13;
