Oberlin College.
Oberlin, O., May 18, 1880

Mr. H. S. Lyman
My dear sir:

Yours of the 29th [ultimo] is before me. I will send you our annual circular which will answer most of your inquiries.

The American Education Society usually helps its beneficiaries $45.oo a year, and sometimes more. The seminary has at its command resources which enable it to assure any young man of reasonable economy that he need not be embarrassed in pursuing his course of study there. The amount of aid given by the seminary is not the same to everyone; but we mean that it shall meet every real necessity of those who study here.

And we shall be happy to offer the privilege of our seminary upon these conditions, and we are sure you will have no occasion to regret coming among us. Of course you will bring with you a certificate of dismission from your seminary. It would be well for you to apply for a room in Council Hall immediately.

Believe me
Very truly yours
Judson Smith
Dean of Theo. Faculty
