Stearns (2) December 2nd, 1921. The medal is not yet paid for. Though subscriptions are coming in from private schools in Hawaii, California, Maine, Florida and other parts of the country, the fund to build the memorial schools is being kept open so that each child may have the opportunity of contributing his or her mite, no matter how small. We believe there is not a child in the country but who desires to add expression of admiration and esteem to that felt for the great Marshal. Every cent collected goes to France as our working fund is supported by private contributions and gratuitous service. At the time of enrollment in this movement, we received a letter from Mr. Clark of the Lawrenceville School asking if the Phillips Academy had enrolled, and we replied that at that time we had not heard from you. We would greatly appreciate a card telling us when we may expect a contribution from your school, as it would, indeed be a pity were not the students of the Phillips Academy represented in this great work.

It is expressed in combination with their recollection of the aid France gave their nation at its birth, and of their thoughts of their own fathers and brothers who crossed the seas with their General Pershing to the land of France. With this emblem will be found a letter from the children’s servants expressing their wishes concerning their desire to build two schools in devastated France to be known as the Foch-Pershing and the Washington-Lafayette schools. They hope that you will designate the sites where these memorials will be built. We remain the humble servants of yourself and the children of our country.

May I ask you to return the examation [sic] papers when you are through with them. We find that he is especially weak in mathematics and that he has had no modern language whatever, (except Chinese and English). Cornell would be a rather favorable institution for him to enter because, if he secures a certificate record, we can get him in there without his taking the College Board examinations. It is not an easy matter, however, to get this "B" average, especially as he is way behind in the two subjects mentioned above. I find, however, that he is quite well qualified intellectually in English though the requirements for reading that he must meet are rather long; and that he will probably get along quite easily in Physics. He must, however, have at least two years of French and he is technically due to have three years of Mathematics, which may by tutoring be shortened to two. My conclusion is that he ought not to think of trying to get into Cornell in one year, even if he can stand extraordinary pressure of studies. Any engineering course, as you know, requires strong mathematical foundation, and that is his weakest point. I therefore plan to start him at the foundation in mathematics and French, hoping that with extra care he may be able in two years to accomplish enough to admit him to an engineering course in college. I have planned to go lightly on the technical work, specializing largely in drawing, with a minimum of shopwork. In fact, I consider him a special student and not classified according to our momenclature [sic]. I will give him a seat with our college preparatory juniors. Of course this plan is tenative [sic], subject to variation as Liang is tried out. Very truly yours, Charles F. Warner. Charles F. Warner George C.

Please pardon my delay in acknowledging same. Extended absence from the city and other duties have interfered with more prompt attention to this matter. I assure you that I am deeply interested in this great work. I wish to endorse it most heartily. The idea of securing a fund to rebuild two memorial high schools in France strikes me as being a very fortunate one. It will serve not only as a token of gratitude for what France has done for America but will, I think, give an opportunity for Americans and particularly American childhood to have a part in a program which not only fosters patriotism but likewise fosters international good will and brotherhood. Whereas I do not think that any one ought to be compelled to contribute to these movements yet I think that we all owe it to our school children to give them an opportunity to participate in such movements as a part of their education in the broadest and best sense. I hope that the movement will be eminently successful and I assure you that no one is interested more than I am. I should have been glad to write you before this but your recent communication is the first that has come to my notice. Very cordially yours, JNO. J. TIGERT COMMISSIONER Cecile Sartoris J.J.

Dr. Perry is to be my guest Saturday in connection with our annual football contest with his school; and I will have a good opportunity to explain to him the complications that have developed over young Liang's school connection, and I am sure that he will understand fully and cooperate in a generous way. If any question arises in regard to fees due or already paid at Exeter, we shall be ready and glad to waive the first half year's payment here. There is no reason, therefore, why there should be any extra expense involved in the change. In justice to Mr. Liang this is as it should be; for I know from experience that our Chinese friends, regardless of their individual means, are, in the large majority of cases, very eager that their children should learn by actual restraint in expenditure the value of money. Mr. Liang has often told me of his intimate relations with and affection for your family. My own associations with the Chinese began when Liang Chontung, one of that early group of Chinese Pioneers, returned to this country as Ambassador and almost at once visited his old school at Andover. We made a good deal of him at the time; and I had the privilege of passing several days as his guest at the Chinese Legation in Washington. On that first return visit to Andover he brought a group of boys whom he left in my charge; and, as a result of that beginning, I have had a hundred or more boys in school here during the last fifteen or twenty years and have filled the position of American guardian and adviser for some fifty of them. These most interesting relationships induced me to turn my eyes toward China, when in 1912 the trustees granted me a year's leave of absence. The warm and friendly hospitality extended so generously to me there has always been one of my most valued memories and has led to even closer and wider friendships with these most attractive people in later years. Mr. M.T. Liang, especially, had so often gone out of his way to show his friendship and goodwill that I felt all the more keenly the slip which had been made in my office in answering your letter of inquiry. I am delighted that there is now a good chance of making the Andover contact with Liang's boy. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns George C.

He had lunch with me and I took him to Lawrence early in the afternoon to catch the express for Exeter so that he would not lose his afternoon recitations. It has been arranged for the transfer to take place today for, after going over carefully with the boy and the instructors here, the problems connected with his schedule have straightened out and it seemed to us all wise that the new start should be made at as early a date as possible, At first I was inclined to concur in Mr. Perry’s suggestion that it might be well to let the boy finish out the current term at Exeter and come to us at the opening of the winter term. After discussing with Liang, however, the work he is doing, and, in view of the fact that our fall term lasts eight days longer than that at Exeter, we both agreed that the earlier change would be to the boy’s advantage. Liang was very much pleased to find two or three of his old friends here at Andover whom he had not realized were with us, and he tells me that he is really eager to come to us, so that my lingering doubts as to the wisdom of urging the change have disappeared, and I hope and believe that the boy will find the new environment a happy and beneficial one. He will take a room in my house for the present, though he has already assured me that he would prefer to stay there definitely. For my part I am not quite sure that this would be wise, but we can tell a bit better later. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns George C. Gardner Tommy Liang
