Mr. M. McGuire, Pixley, Barber Co., Ks.
Dear Sir,
There are not many vacant house in Manhattan generally. A large number of houses, however, are inhabited by students families sending children to school. I think you would have no difficulty in finding a dwelling. As to farms I cannot say; except that in the school district on which the college borders there are about fifty houses, of which about fifty are rented, from which it may be inferred that a rented farm is obtainable. Shortly before the beginning of the fall term, a list is made up and sent out of boarding houses, houses and rooms to rent or for sale, &c. We will send you one of these. Every year there are families who move to Manhattan from various parts of the state in order to send their children to college. I hope you will do as you say, and that we may have your son in the college this fall.
We are able at present to mention two houses for rent, the Kedzie cottage, address Mrs. Manlove, and the Mayo house, address G. W. Higinbotham. The latter is a large house in one of the best parts of town, rent $15. Mrs. Manlove's house and Mrs. Pursel's house are for sale.
Very truly yours, Thomas E. Will, President.
Are these other families who you mention supplied with college catalogs?
Aug. 7, 1897 Kansas Farmer,
Gentlemen,
Please make one change in the advertisement of the college: namely, the date for entrance examinations should be Sept. 8th instead of 9th. The regular term begins on the 9th.
Truly yours, Thomas E. Will, President.

Miss Alta M. Rigg, Marvin, Ks.
Your favor of the 4th inst. is at hand. I understand that your brother will take a regular course. Special courses have not been encouraged in the past. However, where the student possesses maturity and can show good reason for requesting a special course, such a course may in future in most cases be arranged. I think we can give you the work in cooking, music, and sewing, altho it might be found best after examining more fully into what you have done, to advise you to take some other work also. We send herewith a catalog.
Truly yours, [Tom E. Will] President.

Dear Miss Carnell,
Yours of the 4th is at hand. I very much wish it were possible for me to guarantee you something to do to assist you in paying your way. However, the demand for such work as can definitely be promised is considerably greater than the supply. I will keep your letter on file, and will be glad to help you if the opportunity should offer.
Very truly yours, [Thos. Will] President.
