Rev. Dr. S. Morais,
President of the Faculty of the Jewish Theolog. Sem.,
Dear and Reverend Sir:-
The announce-ment of your decision in ref-erence to the coming fortnight has called forth the hearty thanks of all the students.
Were we not constrained by the pressure of circumstances you could rest assured, dear Doctor, that we would not have been so urgent in our request. An idea of the severe require-ments of our secular college may be gleaned from the fact that out of the 600 or more
students admitted every year, about sixty-five succeed in passing successfully through the five years' ordeal. One Freshman section started out last September with thirty-five names on the roll; now only sixteen remain. The greater portion of the section was either degraded or expelled for not being able to attain the standard required.
You will be pleased to learn that in spite of the many diffi-culties to be encountered five or six of the Seminary students rank among the highest in their respective classes.
With kindest regards to your family, I am Ever sincerely yours, David Levine. - Identifier
