My dear Mr. Chu: I have the letter of November 30th, signed by yourself and Mr.Feng. Needless to say, I do not feel competent to offer you any further advise in view of the way in which such little advice as I have attempted to give you in the past has been so totally disregarded. I can only express again the very deep and genuine regret I feel, and shall always feel, that you and your friend, unlike the vast majority of Chinese students it has been my privilege to know and deal with in the past, should have preferred to take the easier road to a lesser goal. Are Chinese boys as a whole have come to this country determined to make the most of their opportunities, and to secure the best in educational lines that the country could offer. To attain this they have been willing to work hard., and at times to make considerable sacrifices. It has been something of a shock and a very great disappointment as well, to find that you and your friend are apparently unwilling to make the sacrifices and put forth the necessary effort to insure admission to one of our highest institutions of learning, and hence be able at a later date to return to your own country best prepared to face and handle successfully the intricate and pressing problems which must be solved aright if your nation is not to become the victim of outside aggression and internal weakness. I still hope and pray that you may yet come to realize the weakness of your present course and may develop a higher purpose and a readiness to make the needed sacrifice before you lose touch with your American opportunity Sincerely yours Dr. Alfred E.

The Chinese boys now here give me reports from time to time of Messrs Chu and Fan, and it is apparently the consensus of opinion that these two wanderers are making a sad mistake and are not realizing to the full, here in America, the high ideals and purposes which supposedly prompted them to come to this country. I understand they are tutoring in Boston. With whom and how ofter I cannot say, and for the purpose of entering Boston University later. While it is not my place to criticise, Boston University does not, of course, rank with our best colleges and scientific schools to which the majority of our Chinese visitors naturally look for the education desired. I cannot help feeling that Boston University, in this instance, is selected because it offers an easier read for the two boys in question. 1 have been having some correspondence recently with Dr, Paul Reinsch, who tells me that he is a close friend of Chu’s father and is interested in the boy’s American career. Dr. Reinsch was very much surprised that the boys had left Andover and I imagine that he may endeavor to use his influence to direct them sanely in their plans for the future. The other Chinese boys here are all doing well and showing find spirit. The Suns, as you probably know, are all members of my household. Arthur, the oldest, is doing good work at Phillips Academy. The two younger boys and their sister are attending the public schools. You have certainly sized up young Thomas when you say that he is “naughty at times”. He has a most astounding temper, which makes one fear that he may commit murder when the attack is on, but he soon gets over attacks of this kind and appears to be genuinely sorry for any damage resulting from the storm in question. I am beginning to wonder, however, whether it will not be better for these two younger boys to be separated next term and placed in schools where they will be subject to definite rules and school regulations. The reaction from the rather confined life at home seems to have been a bit too much for their immature minds, and it is a real problem to make them appreciate the fact that there are definite duties that must be done and definite rules to be obeyed in this free land to which they have so recently come. I have read with the deepest interest what you have to say about China and her present needs. You seem to have sized up the situation very fairly and sanely, and I only wish that all of the Chinese students who have come to us could see things in the same broad light, and would act with courage and firmness towards the accomplishment of these ends, by which China alone can be saved and her future welfare assured. Unfortunately I cannot help believing that a good number of the former students, at least, have not lived up to their opportunities in helping to settle their country’s difficulties. They have been inclined to assume a position of importance and authority without being willing to give into hard work and render the unselfish service necessary to justify their position and to make possible the solution of the nation’s problems. If you are ever in this part of the country be sure to look me up. In the mean time accept my heartiest wishes for success and happiness in your life and work. I shall doubtless be in Chicago before the year is over and in that case I shall hope to see you. Sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns P.S. Fang S.Y.

My dear Dr. Reinsch: Since my last letter to you I have been wondering just what ought to be done with the money naturally due Messrs Chu and Fang in the way of rebate. When the boys first came to us they made the customary payment on room, board and tuition. In view of their short stay, and although they put us to very serious inconvenience in some ways by their erratic actions. I cannot help feeling that a good part of this money should be returned. I have hesitated, however, to send it to the boys direct, because I have felt that they were not carrying out their parents’s wishes at the time, and that it would not be wise for them to have on hand any more free spending money than necessary. A letter received only yesterday and signed by both of the beys, tells me that they have been tutoring in Boston, but that owing to the high costs of things there they have decided to go west and enter some small college probably after Christmas. I am afraid these two youngsters need at this moment a pretty stiff hand over them if they are not to make a bad mess of their American life and education. I shall deeply appreciate any suggestions you may care to make as to the proper disposition of the money in question. Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns P.S.

Reinsch Southern Building, Washington, D.C. My dear Dr. Reinsch: Let me thank you for your letter of recent date in relation to Mr. Wellington Chu. The boy’s ease is a peculiar one, and interests me deeply. Perhaps I will be able to be of some help in the matter. Let me say at the outset that Chu is no longer at Andover, having departed rather unceremoniously only a few days after his arrival. Just what prompted him to take this step I have still been unable to discover. Apparently, the other Chinese boys here, of whom there are about a dozen, are equally in the dark. They are all agreed, however, in condemning the boy for his action, and they have made many apologies to me in the belief that his unusual behavior reflected on the generally high standards of conduct and life maintained by the Chinese students as a whole. Unlike most of the other Chinese boys who entered the school this fall, Mr. Chu and a friend named Fang, came with comparatively little advance notice of their arrival. I was finally advised of their intention by a Chinese student who also came to America this fall, and whom I had met in the winter of 1913 at Nanking when the boy was then an undergraduate at the Nanking University. The meeting at that time led to an interchange of correspondence, which has extended up to the present time.Mr. Chu wrote me enthusiastically that he had influenced these boys to come to Andover to be under my care. He himself is now at the Northwestern University at Evanston, Illinois. When the boys arrived I showed them every attention and courtesy, meeting them and the other delegates in person at the Andover station and bringing them to my own house where I kept most of them for the night, until they were finally settled in their regular rooms. A few days after their arrival Chu developed what appeared to be a bad case of homesickness. He seemed generally upset, and I sent him down to our infirmary in order that he might have real rest and receive the best of attention. I visited him on several occasions and tried my best to cheer him up. The boys themselves did the same and finally his countrymen prevailed upon him to get out of bed and go to his work. For two or three days he seemed to have recovered completely, when to my complete surprise, after a day’s absence from home, I learned that he and his friend had departed unceremoniously. Two of the other boys started in pursuit and succeeded in finding the wanderers and bringing them back to Andover, for the purpose of assuring a proper severance of the school connection. This was done, and the last I heard of the boys was that they were in Boston attending a private school. Their friends, however, seem to feel that the school interest in not primary with them just now though I cannot speak definitely on this score. I know that Chu’s first contention, after he had been here a few days, was that he had supposed he was entering a college and was distressed to find that he had landed only in a preparatory school. He even made an attempt to gain admission to Cornell but found he was underprepared. When he finally left he gave as hie excuse that the work was too hard. Please excuse this long explanation of the situation but I confess that I am very much distressed by it, for after having dealt at close range with these attractive Chinese visitors for nearly twenty years, I must admit that this is the first time that I have over encountered a problem just like this one and I am naturally concerned that the boys involved should not go astray under the American conditions, or miss the one thing for which they wore supposed io make the sacrifice involved in their sojourn in this country. Please let me know if there is anything further I can do in the matter, and be assured that I shall be only too ready to cooperate to the fullest extent. I have in my own house at the present time four children of Mr. Sun Chung Ying of Tientsin, three boys and a girl and also the son of Dr. Kung Sing Ring of Shanghai, so that you see I am in a somewhat strategic position to act if any special action is called for.

My dear Mr. Hu: I am sorry indeed to have to report that your plans for your fellow students from Nan Kai College have gone badly astray and that your generous efforts in behalf of these boys hare seemingly been misplaced. As I wrote you some time ago, our friend, Pih, gained admission to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where I hope he will be able to maintain a proper pace. His companions, Chu and Fang, s eased very much unsettled here for the first few days of their stay. Chu was extremely homesick and was in the infirmary for several days, finally he was persuaded by other Chinese boys to get out of bed and go about the usual school activities, with the result that the homesickness promptly disappeared. I saw both of the boys frequently after that time and found them in the best of spirits and apparently happy and contented. During the latter part of the past week I was compelled to be out of town and on my return, learned, to my surprise, that Messrs. Chu and Fang had suddenly left school without notifying any of us of their intentions or securing the necessary official permission to withdraw. The other Chinese boys were so disturbed by what had occurred that they sent two of their representatives to Boston to hunt up the boys and bring then back. This they did. We were not able to change the minds of there wanderers, however, and though I talked with them at length I could only secure from them the statements that they found the work too hard and proposed to leave. This last attitude is a bit interesting, in view of the fact that their first dissatisfaction was attributed by them to their belief that the work here would be altogether too easy and that they ought to be in a higher institution. Under the circumstance I could do nothing but allow the boys to withdraw; though I assured them that in all my dealing with Chinese boys for the past twenty years, this was the first instance that had come to my attention where there seemed to be an utter lack of appreciation of what their friends here had attempted to do for them and a willingness to adopt high-handed methods of procedure which in themselves showed complete lack of proper and gentlemanly conduct. The other Chinese boys in the school felt so strongly on this score that they held an indignation meeting and drew up a statement expressing their keen regret and offering their apologies for this unseenly and unjustified conduct on the part of their countrymen. I am writing to you frankly, for I know of your keen interest in these boys and your desire to haws them at Andover. From all I can gather, some outside influence has been at work to make the boys discontinued. I understand that they are planning to stay in Boston for a time, that they have already engaged rooms there, and that they are talking of entering Boston University or some other institution, the standards of admission to which are not of the highest, later in the year. I cannot help feeling that such a course would be about the worst thing that the boys could possibly do, for they need the discipline and routine of regular school life and are not likely to gain anything of value by hanging around a large city at this stage of their American careers. Of course I have not the slightest desire that the boys should return to Andover so long as they are satisfied that they cannot be happy here. I hope, however, that they can be persuaded to take a little different view of their obligation opportunities in this country and will not spoil their chances of successful careers, as some other Chinese boys have done in the past, by refusing to meet those standards and requirements which we expect of our own American students and which the large majority of Chinese students have most willingly accepted as necessary and wise.
