Stearns Phillips Academy Andover, Mass. Dear Dr. Stearns: I received a copy of the Phillips bulletin two days ago and I was very much pleased to read about the interesting facts of the old school. I hope everything is getting along nicely and with many brighter prospects. I was at Dr. Zelie's church this morning and learned of your presence among us on the coming Sunday. Immediately my thoughts turned to the deep interest that you always have to the Chinese students and I know you will be glad to meet some of them now studying at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. But if these were well, I could ask the fellows to come to the church to shake hands with you. On the contrary, we have at present bigger problems to face and, therefore, are eager to hear some advices with regard to our presence among the American and our attitudes to each other, to the understanding of the Church and Christian force, and subjects of like character. Being one who wants to see a better relation and understanding of the east and the west, I have been most anxious to set our group of Chinese students, which is, unfortunately, rather deadly, in working. I was overjoyed to hear of your coming and I told of it to a few friends of mine, We felt sure that you can help us and we would like to have you talk to us when you come, privately. Will you undertake to do so when you come, if you can spare an hour or so?  As I do not know the time of your arrival and how long do you expect to stay in Troy, may I ask you to let me know about your plans, so if you can spend an hour with us we can make arrangements of the time and the place of our gathering. There are twenty one Chinese students at R.P.I, at present. Among them, we have about ten Christians. I am getting along awfully well during these days. I passed all my first term work and am now starting on several new courses. Bright and sunshiny afternoons tell me that spring is coming soon. I hope all the boys are in good condition. Looking forward to see you at Troy, I am, Yours most respectfully C.K. Chien Dr. Alfred E.

K. Chien, 80 Eagle Street, Troy, New York. My dear Chien: I have your interesting letter of February 11th, the contents of which have been read with care. Indeed, I should welcome the chance to talk to the Chinese boys at Troy when I coms there next Sunday. Perhaps you can best make definite arrangements with Dr. Zelie himself. I am due to preach at Williams College in the morning and, recording to Dr. Zelie, must leave Williamstown about soon for Troy. The service at Troy, I believe, comes at either four or five o’clock in the afternoon. Probably there would not be much time to meet you before that service, but the evening ought to furnish an opportunity, as I plan to take the late train that night, at Albany, for Boston. I would suggest therefore, that you talk the matter over with Dr. Zelie and see if we can’t work in an evening hour for the meeting in question. Faithfully yours C.K. Chien Dr. Alfred E.

My dear Chien, Your interesting letter of October 9, just a month old, deserves a much earlier answer than this. It is always a source of real pleasure to hear from you boys after you leave the school and to know where you are and how you are progressing. I hope you will find Davison College all you could desire and that you will be able to secure there that sound intellectual training and high moral purpose which, when properly combined, produce a real and much needed leader. You boys who are going to return to China in the near future have tremendous responsibilities resting upon you and a rare privilege, too, in that your countrymen will justly expect you to set standards and assume leadership which will enable China to secure justice at the hands of all nations and maintain her proper position of dignity and honor among the world’s families. I envy you your chance, difficult as your problem is bound to prove. I am sure your many friends here would join in sending greetings and good wishes to you if they know that I was writing this letter. Arthur Sun is in Tech, as you probably know. Lou is at Amherst, Chang at Yale and the rest of the group still with us here in Andover. She, Lin and two youngest Sun boys are still at my house. With sincerest good wishes for the days ahead, believe me always Faithfully yours. C.K. Chien Dr. Alfred E.

My dear Dr.Sentelle: I have your letter inquiring about the Tsing Hua credits of Mr. C.K.Chien who was with us last year. Documents of this kind are regularly filed with the correspondence of the boy concerned, but I find no trace of our files of the document in question. I am wondering, therefore, if the boy, himself, did not take it, either when he withdrew from school or at some earlier date. We frequently find that this has happened and that the boys concerned have forgotten until reminded of this possibility, just what actually occurred. If Mr. Chien has no recollection of taking into document, we will make further research for it here. Sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns M.E. Sentelle
