  3. This letter was written in 1916 requesting a waiver from grade requirements as an unclassified student. The conditions of his admission as an unclassified student required him to pass 14 courses with a grade of C. Albizu Campos states that he completed 15 courses and requested a waiver for one course with the grade of D. This waiver was granted enabling Albizu Campos to graduate and enter Harvard Law School.
