To Mrs. Mortons, Stanford University Cal Sept 7. 1894 Sept. 7, 1894

My dear Mamma:

I expected to write to you today- but not before I had heard from my exams. I did not pass in English, I believe 80 out of a 2 hundred did. But don't feel bad about it = I'll send you a copy of it & the others. Prof. [Hewcomer?] said the fault lay solely in its being not a continuous composition it was a lot of detatched statements.

But!!! It was technically correct. The only mistake one of carelessness I wrote "as a rule-" with a capital R. So my dear mamma

Archias - Something I never reviewed. They use Daniels composition book. It has prose composition on Archias in it. And if any other girl is coming here I advise her to study that book. Miss Slayton said she thought anyone would do a great deal if they passed the ex. & never studied the Archias [illegible?]

Well yesterday I went to Prof Pease & he told me I had passed. Just to be sure but then, a miss is as good as a mile. I went to see Miss Slayton Monday and have been there every day. She is very nice out of school. I received the things Mr. Brown would not accredit me

It was correct -- the Spelling punctuation, paragraphing and arrangement of word!!!!

He said both he & Prof Lathrope pondered whether to pass me or not. But as I am not passed I take not Eng. 8. but Eng. 3.

I'll send you a register. My Laberatory Book was not sufficient for Prof Sanford as it contained no Laberitory notes but only examples.

He said if I could answer the questioned copied, I would easily pass an ex. I was unprepared for the exam but spent several hours & reviewed the Whole book. That morning I took the ex- I think it was very easy, He said they would

only correct the first - 5 examples he gave us 9!!! Of course, I answered the first five they were the easiest & then to season it I did the eighth & drew a string of mirrors with objects at every distance. Well I went to Prof Sanford and he said, he didn't remember who passed & didn't but he remembered mine & it was a very good paper!!

There was only one other girl who took the ex - the rest were boys. I was talking about it at table how easy it was when a Mr. Sewel said the boys told him it was awfully hard - Imagine

On Wednesday morning I took my latin exam. It wasnt on the elementry but on

the girls that sit at the ends serve as a rule - the vegetables are put before them - & the meat - which has previously been cut up - there are a lot of glasses & a pitcher of water - Which the girl who is in front of them pours. It's almost like two tables

As things here are passed, so far & no farther. When the time comes When you should be through with your dinner your desert is placed at your plate; & you go on eating & when finished, you push your plate aside & if the desert requires a fork - take the one you've been using - & use it again. The waiter will take your plate before long. There's One for each table and one Who pours coffee for the entire room full. I wear my light

blue wrapper to breakfast & to lunch if I want to. The gong has sounded so I will [ascend?].

I don't think that the manners are so bad. I'm getting in with a very nice set of girls the elite here that is - the ["Comebuie"?] as they are called. But still I'll go with whom I please & will not toady for any one's favor.

You might ask Miss Budy She lives in Sansoleld -- Did you or will you ask the Brown's & Helen Morris?

I"ll send the paper shade I made with the lamp.

I don't care about May [Hume?] The girls here almost All study at the same time.

We have the reception this Saturday. [Here?]

Give my love to all. - Chemistry comes now And I want to mail the letter so good by Your loving daughter Hallie
