Khaki Dodge, in my class, whom you may remember from the Lafayette debates as an usher to whom I introduced you and who you thought was very good-looking, just told me an interesting bit of news that she ecpects[sic] to go to Johns Hopkins year after next, as does Anna Osterhout, and '23, and that they were down in Baltimore after midyears to see about getting in and that the man in charge, whoever he is, told them that he hardly takes into consideration official college record at all in admitting students, but count's almost entirely the standing of the college and its recommendations of them, as well as personal qualifications. he says medical school shouldn't be run democratically, that that doesn't make good doctors, and he believes very strongly in heredity, that if you come from a "good" family the chances are you will be good material for them. On the strength of the latter he was very glad to take Anna Osterhout, who, incidentally, just missed flunking out Freshman year, but whose father is a very eminent--I thought, botanist, but Khaki says zoologist. And he is very glad to take Khaki, because she came down with Anna and because he liked her appearance. It struck me as a fine thing for the sons and daughters of the famous, but a little hard on all others!

I guess that's all the news I have.
Love, Fannie
