Oct 1, 1920.My dear Miss Turner,
Thank you very much for allowing me to take the examination in physiology as I requested.
I have been wishing and always wished that I should take that examination.
It was unexpected that it would take so long for me to get registered here at Teachers College of Columbia. It took me exactly six days, for there were numerous people daily in the office of the Secretary on Admissions. Then I met the head of the fine arts department and after many conference[s] I was allowed to take five courses in fine arts, including the beginner's course and advance[d] ones as well. Finally the English department, seeing that my program was all filled up with fine arts courses, determined that I should take the remaining 3 hours in English this semester. So a change was made during the last day by the director of the School of Practical Arts.
At present I am carrying a schedule of 17 points with the following courses: English, Fine Arts, 53a, 69, 75, 83 and History of Education. They are all interesting and I have strong confidence that I will be happy this year though I have to work hard.
During those days of my registration I attempted to return to college more than once so I did not try to write to you or Miss Green about my intended examination.
I am afraid that I have to give up that examination at present as I had more credits than needed for the entrance, though much to my regret all my credits in History of Art formerly are not all accepted as they are too theoretical.
Personally, I know that all I took at Mt. Holyoke are going to be valuable for my background of life and I was glad I had them.
With kind wishes,
Yours respectfully,
(Laura) Hua-tsai Liu
