Aug. 10, 1897. Mr. Charles H. Park, LaCygne, Ks.

Dear Sir,

Yours of the 7th is at hand. The remunerative positions on the [teah?] teaching and working force of the institution are now practically all filled. Should you care to enter a s a student, it is entirely possible that, like many others students, you might succeed in earning something that could be used in paying your way. Pages 66 and 67 of the catalog sent herewith will give you an idea of the opportunities in this line.

Truly yours,

Aug.10, 1897. Mr. Orville Johnson, Somerfield, Ks.

Dear Sir, Yours of the 9th is at hand. We send you a catalog, in which you will find answers to your questions. Pages 64, 66, and 67 will be of special interest to you. While it is well to bring what money you can, I will say that numerous students, tho not all who desire, pay their way in part by such work here as they can pick up.

Truly yours, President.

Mr. G. D. Hulett, Kirksville, Mo.

Dear Mr. Hulett,

Your favor of the 7th is at hand. I send you herewith a statement as to your course, and a brief testimonial, which tho unsolicited I am glad to make, in case it should be of any value to you.

I regret to learn that you do not think of returning. Of course it is necessary for us to emphasize the work which seems to be of chief value to students preparing for agriculture and mechanical works, and realize that such a course may not in all respects be best adapted to those contemplating other lines of work, including medicine. I respect your decision, but at the same time regret to lose you.

Very sincerely yours,

Aug. 10, 1897.

Mr. Guy D. Hulett studied in this institution, completing the first three years of the course. Strong in intellect, conscientious, earnest, faithful, he is a model student.

President.

Aug. 10, 1897. Miss M. Maud Gardiner, Bradford, Ks.

Yours of the 7th is at hand. We have quite an extended list of applicants for the work in sewing, among them several Pratt Institute graduates. At the same time I should be pleased to file your application and present the same to the board of regents at its meeting September first. Should you be able to file written testimonials relative to your qualifications from your teachers or others acquainted with your work, they might be found of value to your candidacy.

Truly yours,

Aug. 10, 1897. Mr. Henry Romeike,

Dear Sir, You need not send any more clippings about President Andrews. I should be willing to receive a few if they are of special interest, but not otherwise unless the affair should take some new turn. I did not apprehend that the number of clippings would be so vast. Will remit you in due form from the college funds. Please make bill on the enclosed form. It is not necessary to swear to this account.

Truly yours, President.

Mrs. Helen Campbell, Cincinnati.

Dear Mrs. Campbell,

Replying to your favor of the 6th will say that I have been casting about to find rooms and a boarding place for you, and have found a place which seems somewhat promising. A Mr. Haines, just west of the schoolhouse, has a two room suite, second floor, said to be quite pleasant desirable, formerly occupied by our military officer of last year; furnished with everything save fuel, the suite lets at $10 per month. Board can be obtained just across the street at Mrs. Paine's for $3 per week. There is some slight prospect of rooms at Mrs. Paine's, tho not great.

The applications for the position in sewing multiply. We have what seem to be some very promising names on the list. As our board meet on the first of September, and you think of being here so nearly that date, may I ask whether it is not possible for youto be here by that time, that we may all consult together regarding this very important appointment. We have several Pratt graduates on the list.

I am sorry the Outlook has taken the course it has, and still more so now in that it has sinned against light and knowledge. Cordially yours,

Aug. 10, 1897.

Miss Alice Campbell, Toledo, O.

Dear Madam, Yours of the 7th is at hand. Our sewing I think is almost entirely of a somewhat plain and simple nature. We desire to teach the young women from the country and villages to do such work as will be of chief value to them. At the same time, we do not ignore art. Manhattan contains about 4000 inhabitants. Boarding costs in the neighborhood of $3 a week. Rooms can be found, tho the competition of students for accommodations sometimes makes it necessary to look quite carefully before securing such quarters as a teacher might desire.

Truly yours,

Aug. 10, 1897.

Mr. Edwin G. Beckes, Grand Haven, KS.

Dear Sir,

Yours of the 4th is at hand. We send herewith a catalog, on page 64 of which you will find terms of admission. Should you not be able to meet any of these requirements I should advise you to review between now and the opening of the college year, and take examinations here.

Truly yours, President.
