My dear Mr. Liang: I have this morning received your two letters of January 14th and January 15th and your formal application for admission to Phillips Academy. We regularly drop a few boys at the close of the fall term, a larger number indeed than is generally admitted at the opening of the winter term. This year a few boys have recently left us to take up military services, hence we have several vacancies in the school at the present time. So far as our accommodations are concerned therefore we can and will be glad to welcome you and your friends. The question which chiefly concerns me relates to you previous school work and your chances of meeting successfully our scholarship requirements here. It is not easy to adjust a newcomer’s schedule to our own scheme of work when the adjustment has to be made in the middle of a school year. If you are willing to leave the final arrangement of the schedule in our hands, we will, of course, do the best we can for you; though we cannot promise to continue in all cases the subjects you have been studying to date. The catalogue, which I am mailing you under separate cover contains full information as to the nature and extent of our various courses of study. If you decide to enter the school it is important that you should do so at the earliest moment. The essential requirement for admission is a satisfactory record from your last school. Re assume that all newcomers will be able to provide the customary letters of honorable dismissal and submit evidence shewing that they are leaving their previous schools for good and sufficient reasons. We have six Chinese boys in the school this year. By a queer coincidence the last letter I opened in this morning’s mail before reaching yours was that of an old Chinese friend of mine,now living in Hong- kong, who graduated from this school some thirty-five years ago, and a man who entertained me royally several years ago when I traveled in China. Please let me hear from you promptly in ease you decide to change schools at this time and satisfactory arrangements can be made, so that you may be able to start at the earliest possible date under the new conditions Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Percy Y.

Since the basis of your difficulties in your studies is unquestionably your limited knowledge of the English language, I wonder if you would not do as well in my brother's small school at Mont Vernon, New Hampshire, as you could possibly do anywhere else for the coming year. Such an arrangement would permit you to carry on work which would so far as possible parallel the work of our own classes here, so that if you desired to return to Andover later the way would be made easy for you. If this plan does not appeal to you, I would suggest Dummer Academy as the next best place to fit your peculiar needs. This school is located in South Byfield, Mass., as you probably know. I am asking the treasurer's office to see that your deposit of twenty-five dollars made on the room assignment is returned. I am also asking them to have your trunks taken care of until you decide where you wish to have them sent. Let me know if I can help you further. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Percy Y.

In discussing the case recently I found that there was general agreement among the boy's instructors that he needs, for the present at least, the environment and stimulus of a smaller school where he will receive personal and intimate guidance in his studies. A year in a school of this kind would perhaps fit the boy to meet the requirements of a large school like Philipps Academy. We have frequently recommended this plan for boys in similar circumstances in the past, and generally with excellent results. In advising strongly that this course be adopted in the case of Mr. Liang we are hopeful that after a year passed in this way the boy will be able to return to Andover and complete his work here with credit. If I can in any way aid you in finding a school of this character, I shall be only too glad to be of service. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.C. Li Peter W.
