CRIMSON AND GOLD Uhr Qlnllrgr uf 1112 Qlitg nf Nun Burk 1. CARLETON BELL. Ph.D. h ? Direcxor Uhr Srrparatnrg liiglg Srlpml: Ziinmuarnh Harris Hall LEON H, CANFIELD, php, Amntrrham Annum :mb 13811, Sturt Assisnnr Director February 27, 1928. To the Class of June, 1928: In a recent report, President Lowell, of Harvard University, complains that American high school boys are eighteen years old when they reach college, and that this is two years older than they should be. Again, they have so little grasp of the subjects they have been studying that for the first year or so, the college must do essentially high school work. As graduates of Townsend Harris Hall, you should approximate President Lowell's standard. The average age of nunils entering this school is just thirteen years. The course of study may be com- pleted in three years. Thus you shoild be ready for college at the age of sixteen. Furthermore, the rigorous training that you have received in Latin, mathematics, history, English, and your other subjects should qualify you to carry real college work with ease. When you get to college, however, do not make the mistake of thinking that you have nothing further to do. You will there have greater freedom to succeed or'fail, as you choose. I sincerely trust that you have worked out such habits of study that you will firmly resist the temptation to postpone the preparation of your lessons, and that you will hold yourselves up to the high standard of mastery that has characterized graduates of this school in the past. Very sincerely yours, . Ctwdzzz, H12 J- Carleton Bell. JCB:S Page Three
