Frankly, I was pretty well used up after that morning’s service, having gone through the two services at Aggie and at the college in quick succession and with a temporary metal plat on my jaw to make it possible for me to speak at all. I had slept little the night before, and at the urgent suggestion of Mr. and Mrs. Wolds went up to my room right after lunch and slept most of the afternoon to make up. That is the chief reason why I did not get around, for the rest of my time was pretty well filled. Anyway it was mighty nice to see you even for the brief moment after the service, and it is doubly nice to get your good report on your work this term. I hope and believe you will find the work increasingly easy and increasingly pleasant. One word of advice and suggestion. Do go up and call on President Olds and tell me who you are that I urged you to come. I know from him and I knew from my own experience that a visit of this kind means a lot and that it will make him especially very happy. You will find him one of the finest men that ever lived and one whom you will rejoice to know in years to come as a warm and worth-while friend. The best of luck and success to you! Ever yours.

Honorable Chow Shou Son, Bank of East Asia Hongkong, China. My dear Mr. Chow: I can never begin to express to you the depth and sincerity of my regret over our failure to make connections during your recent American visit. I don't know of anyone whom I would have been gladder to see than your good self, and the missing of that chance that you almost gave me this past summer will remain long in my memory and trouble me. I do hope that you enjoyed the Andover visit and shared something of the feelings that we have here of satisfaction over the progress and development of the old school in recent years. I imagine, that you found it a bit difficult at times to place yourself amid these new surroundings. That at least is the experience of most of the old fellows who drift back here after they have been away from us for a few years. May I take this opportunity also to thank you most heartily for that little token of friendship and good will which you left behind and in the form of sleeve links and pin. I have already worn them,and always with special thought of the donor, but above all I value the friendly thought lying behind the gift itself. May the years ahead of you still be many and full of continued achievement and happiness, Let us hope that some further chance will yet he given us to meet again and renew the old friendship. What that friendship meant to me during my visit to China a few years ago can never be fully expressed Very sincerely yours. Chow Shou Son Dr. Alfred E.

I have recently paid up several accounts for him which were based on loans made by friends when he was awaiting funds from home and legitimate bills contracted since his arrival here have been paid so far as the funds permitted. I am enclosing a statement so you may see where the money placed in my hands has gone to date, and I shall be glad to send you, if you desire, the receipts covering these expenditures which I hold in my files. Under the circumstances I hope that we shall receive further and early remittances from you, for I don’t like to let bills run and I dislike exceedingly to borrow funds in behalf of individual boys. It is pretty difficult for these in China to realize the enormous increase in the price of living and everything else that has taken place in America during the last few years. It is certainly no exaggeration to say that it costs Chinese boys who come to us in these modern days at least double as much for the necessities of life and for their educational expenses as it cost the boys who used to come to us fifteen or twenty years go and for whom I acted as American guardian at that times. We all regret that this is so, but cannot do anything but accept the plain facts that surround us. I have every reason to think that your son is working very hard to prepare himself to meet the requirements which will enable him to take a regular place in the school next year and complete with us his preparation for the higher institution and more advanced work. He seems most responsive to whatever suggestion I am disposed to make to him and very eager to do the right thing by us all. Very sincerely yours. Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E.

With it comes your check for 600.00 in behalf of your boy. This amount I have deposited to the boy’s account am endeavoring now, as requested by you, to straighten out his financial affairs and induce him to meet the situation in a business-like way and with the determination to limit all expenditures to absolute necessities. This I hope to accomplish in due season. The boy has been on a very awkward position because of lack of funds, and I find that he has already contracted bills, largely for tuition, board, and room, amounting,as nearly as I can figure, to almost the sum of your remittance. This means that he will have very little to go on for the next few months and without further remissions from home will have to run up additional bills, something which none of us likes to contemplate. I am paying at the moment those bills which have been longest overdue and seem most pressing, such as board, tuition, etc., and will pay the others so far as the funds permit. I shall hope to enclose with this letter a brief statement showing the extent and nature of disbursement to date. It is my strong conviction that the boy would do much better for the balance of the year to enter some school rather than to attempt to go on as he has been doing here. As ha has doubtless advised you, his lack of English made it impossible for him to continue the Phillips Academy connection for he couldd make no progress in his classes with us owing to this deficiency. His case is very similar to the cases of many Chinese boys we have had to recent years. Always under such circumstances these boys have been advised to invest their first year in America in a small school, where they could place all the emphasis on the English language and receive special and personal guidance in their work. This is practically impossible in a school as large as ours. Such a plan your son vigorously objected to for some reason, and he has consequently been living here in town and taking special instruction with a most reliable man, for many years principal of the high school at Groton, Mass., and during the war a regular instructor on our own force. The arrangement is a good one in many ways, but I can’t help feeling that the atmosphere and regular environment of a regular school would be better. I appreciate your thoughtfulness in sending me as a token of your friendship the image of the God of Happiness to which you refer. The gift has not yet arrived, but I am sure that I shall value it most highly when it does come, both for itself and for the good will which lies behind it. Trusting that the New Year may bring you health, prosperity, and happiness in fullest measure, believe me Very sincerely yours Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E.

Dear Sir: Will you kindly send me such information as you have available relating to the admission requirements of the Tufts Dental School, and may I also ask whether you would be willing to accept a Chinese student on the basis of special student? I have under my care, among others, a Chinese boy now twenty-one years of age whose father has been a prominent official in the Northern Government of China and who is anxious to have his boy to study dentistry. Unfortunately, the boy in question has not had extensive work along the lines which we naturally expect of boys who are in this country entering on their professional school work, and because of his age, I don’t believe he ought to attempt it. He has, however, had three years in this country, investing most of this time in the Genesee Wesleyan Seminary in New York State and part of it here at Andover. In view of the circumstances above mentioned, I can’t help forlonging that this boy should start at once on his professional work, if this can be arranged. On the other hand, if there is some further preparation which from your point of view seems desirable and necessary, I should be prepared to plan for it if it is not to involve too long a period of time. Any help or suggestions you are willing to give me to aid me solving my problem will be very deeply appreciated. Very sincerely yours. Dean William Rice Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

My dear Mr. Rice: Thank you for your clear-cut reply to my recent letter of inquiry. I am afraid that your young Chinese friend is not fully qualified to meet the entrance requirements of the Tufts College Dental School though I have not yet received the catalogue and so have had no chance to examine in detail the nature and extent of the requirements in question. My assumption is based on your own references to them. I wonder if you would be good enough to offer suggestions, if you have any, which would help me in finding a plane for this youngster to study dentistry. Of course if he were an American boy, I should not dream of urging him to do this without a thorough and sound preparation. As it Is, I am simply trying to carry out his father’s instructions and do not know just where to turn. I imagine that in China, at least, a dentist with a limited background might still render real service to his country. If there are any fairly responsible schools with admission standards that would enable this boy to get started, would you be willing to call my attention to them.
