A Letter written on May 10, 1924

Radcliffe College
Cambridge, Massachusetts

May 10, 1924

Dear Miss Turner:

I have been unforgivably slow in answering your letter, but I assure you that it is not because I have not had it in mind. Our difficulty has been in finding your record, and even now we have not succeeded in finding it in any of the official books of the College. Dr. Porter tells me, however, that he is writing you a letter which states officially what your record of work has been, and has promised, as I understand it, that you would forward the letter to me. The information which it contains will then be entered on our Radliffe records and we shall have it in permanent form.

I think from what Dr. Porter said and from what Dean Hasins has said, that there will be no difficulty in your carrying out your plan. However, as soon as we have your record from Dr. Porter, we will consult Dean Haskins and try to send you an entirely authoritative statement.

For the last three or four years, they tell me, records made at the School of Medicine by women have been entered in full in our Radcliffe records. Before that time, there was, I am afraid, no clear understanding of procedure.

I am glad to think that you will be continuing your studies next year, and I shall hope to see you.

Sincerely yours
Ada Comstock
President.
