We send you herewith a catalog of the college. On page 64 you will see the terms of admission. It will be unnecessary for you to take any examination to enter the first year, if you have a certificate for the work you have done. Hoping we may see you here in the fall, Iam Truly yours, THOMAS E. WILL, President.

Dear Mrs. Campbell,

Your two favors of the 12th are at hand. The letter to Mr. Haines will be forwarded. His name is J. Haines. . I have heard of some others. Mrs. George Weisner, near the Christian Church, I am told, might furnish both rooms and board, and a friend told recently that this would be an exceedingly desirable place. Further, I understand that rooms might possibly be had at the residence of Mrs. Col. John B. Anderson. Col Anderson has been one of the wealthy men of this part of the country, and build a magnificent residence. He has recently died. It is questionable whether board could be obtained there.

Save as a college, ordering books from abroad which are to become college property, we enjoy here no advantage in ordering foreign books. Ordinarily we order direct direct from the publisher abroad, tho I am acquaited with Schoenhof. The college as an institution can buy foreign books duty free. The college as an institution can buy foreign books duty free. Hence books for your department should be ordered from the college. We get no discounts from foreign houses, tho we do from American houses. I am glad

I am glad you enjoyed the board statement. It seems to me to cover the ground pretty satisfactorily. There is an attempt in a few cases to couple this institution with Brown University, and to place our board under the same condemnation as the board there. However, no one familiar with the facts, or willing to accept the statements of the two boards, can fall to see at a glance that the cases are radically different, and stand upon an entirely different footing.

Cordially yours, I am glad you can come in time for the board meeting.

Messrs. Elliot & Garrettson,

Gentlemen,

Yours of the 13th is at hand. The vouchers for the bills have been made out and sent to Treasurer C. B. Hoffman at Enterprise. I regret very much the delay in meeting this bill. The explanation, however, is that, as with a number of other bills, payment was unavoidably delayed, first because of slow collections of interest, and second, because a $23,000 remittance from Washington was credited to another state institution instead of to us , and this occasioned considerable needless delay before we discovered the situation. I shall write to Treasurer Hoffman at once asking him to send your check as soon as possible.

Mr. Walter Edwards, Pres. Throop Institute, South Euclid Ave., Pasadena, Cla.

Dear Sir, Miss Alice Campbell is a candidate for the position of superintendent of sewing in this institution. The size of classes is large. The work involves very considerable responsibility, not only in instructing and training the young women to sew, but in influencing character and advising the young women at a formative period of their lives. What can you say regarding Miss Campbell's fitness for such work?

Miss Gertrude Mackley, Luray, Ks.

We send herewith the catalog desired in your favor of the 13th. We maintain no stenographic course, tho we are considering typewriting. German is an extra study. Ordinarily, we earnestly recommend that students shall take the required course. If there are very special reasons for deviating from it we are willing to consider them, and to decide each ease on its merits. Truly yours,

Aug. 14, 1897.

Miss Mamie R. Coffey, Parsons, Ks.

Your favor of the 10th is at hand. By the enclosed catalog sent herewith you can see the course of study as it now stands. The principal change is the division of the fourth year into three optional courses. The catalog also shows the new professors. Truly yours, THOMAS E. WILL, President.

Aug. 14, 1897.

Mr. Charles J. Burson, Motaze, Chantauqua Co., Ks.

Dear Sir, Yours of the 6th I find on returning from an absence. We will acacept grades from the normal for work that corresponds to work we do here. I send you herewith the catalogs desired, and shall be pleased to see you in the fall. While we do not care to criticise past [ad inistrations] there are many who believe that the change will be much for the better.

Aug. 14, 1897.

Dear Mr. Hoffman,

Enclosed find a letter from Elliot & Garrettson. I have explained the cause of delay, and have stated that I would write you requesting that the check be sent as soon as possible.

Aug. 14, 1897.

Mr. A.H. Hoskins,

Dear Sir,

Have you sent to Mr. Walter Daniels, in Cambridge, Mass., a copy of the paper containing his article? If not, please do so, and charge to me.

Aug. 14, 1897.

Mr. Wm. H. Rower, City, Dear Sir,

Is your bill, dated Aug. 11th, for $15.25, best cocoa matting, a repetition of a bill we recently received, or is it an additional one? The you hers for your other bills have gone to Mr. Hoffman, and you will doubtless hear from him soon. Truly yours, President.
