Swavely, Principal of the Army & Navy Preparatory School at Washington, D.C. a certificate covering the work of Mr. T.Kai Liang at that school. From the certificate we can accept, in place of entrance examinations, the following required subjects: Elementary and Intermediate Algebra; Plane and Solid Geometry; Chemistry; United States History; French. We can also accept the following elective subjects: German; Advanced Algebra; Trigonomety. The required Algebra and Geometry count 3 units, the Chemistry 1 unit, the History 1 unit, and the French 2 units. This leaves 3 required units in English for the work of the current year. The accepted elective subjects amount to 3 units, made up of German 2, Advanced Algebra ½, and Trigonometry ½. This leaves one elective unit to be made up by work during the current year. This may be made in Physics or any other science, or in history or language. In other words, Mr. Liang lacks four units, having covered ten. Of these four units, three are required and one is elective. Very truly yours. Dr. Alfred E.

Ricketts Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, N.Y. My dear sir: I beg to inclose herewith a report of the College Entrance Examination Board on the examination of Mr. Yew Yung Chan, one of our Chinese students who plans to enter your institution this fall. Will you kindly advise me what credits you can give the boy and on what condition you will be able to receive him? Mr. Chan is one of several of our Chinese boys who have decided to continue their American education in your institution. We have had a number of these boys here in the past few years and they have proved in every way most desirable students. They are boys who came to this country either under the influence of the late Minister from China, or under the guidance of Dr. Tenny, who has had charge of the government students. Practically all of them are doing their advanced work in the leading scientific institutions of the best and these institutions, as I have heard again and again, from their authorities, are very glad to enroll them among their number, for they are usually bright and promising fellows. Mr. Fearing of Amherst has had indirect charge of a good many of these boys and we have recently talked the matter over and are anxious that some of them should go to Troy. Mr. Chan is not one of the brightest of the lot, though he is strong in mathematics and is faithful in his work. He has gained steadily will continue to do so I think. In English it is only fair to say that the majority of institution are ready to make exception to these boys. As you will note, Mr. Chan has failed his English examination badly. Most of these boys do so. Yet in spite of that fact they are able through their natural ability and faithfulness to maintain more than satisfactory standing in other subjects. This weakness also interferes with their work in modern languages. I shall be glad to have you advise me whether you can accept Mr. Chan under these conditions, and one what terms. You will doubtless hear from one or two more of these boys in the next few days if you have not already done so. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Palmer Ricketts https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/543627a74fdc64fd4f726c718e3fcd23.jpg d4c3fe41abf228d65cb90aa80f43ac01 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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. Cecil Bankcroft Cecil K.

Dear Sir:- I have your letter of the 18th inst. relating to the entrance of Mr. Sen Yan Yung to this institution, together with three enclosures which I will return after you have answered the following inquiries. We are more particularly interested in the young man’s Algebra through Quadratic Equations and his Geometry. Will you kindly write me telling me whether he took Algebra through Quadratic Equations in your school and whether he did satisfactory work in this, and also how much Geometry he took. I believe from his marks that he did satisfactory work in both these subjects at your school but cannot definitely tell how much work he took. I would be willing to admit him on probation in English since he is a foreigner. We give a rather stiff course in English here and should he pass that we could cross off his conditions in elementary English. Awaiting your reply, I am, [signed Palmer C. Ricketts] Cecil K.
