Duren, Oakland, Cal. My dear Miss Duren:- I am very grateful to you for your full and explicit letter of the 16th inst., which I have just received. My experience with the Chinese during the past few years leads me to feel that we shall be able to make wholly satisfactory arrangements for your friend, Mr. Lo. These boys are most attractive fellows, and it is a great pleasure to work with them. We find them among our very best students, always courteous, deferential, and thoroughly gentlemanly. The work of these boys has invariably been based on the entrance requirements of the best scientific schools of the East. I infer that this would be the course which Mr. Lo would desire to follow. My brother happened to be in Andover about a week ago, and I talked over with him the possibility of looking after the Chinese boys from California, for I understand from Mr. Lo’s letter that a friend of his was to accompany him. My brother’s school closes the latter part of June, but as he plans to be there during the summer, he tells me that he would be willing to keep the boys there and work with them until the fall. Ordinarily he has been connected with a summer camp where individual work of this kind is done. As my brother is thoroughly familiar with our requirements here, I think he will be able to cover the ground in a satisfactory way. His school is located at Mount Vernon, New Hampshire, a short distance from Nashua. I will ask him [illegible] to correspond with you about the cost, since I do not know just what his charges would be for the entire summer work. The ordinary charges of the school are reasonable, below, in fact, those charged by most schools of this kind. I will ask my brother to send you full particulars. I understand that Mr. Lo will communicate with me from Washington, and I shall be glad to write him there. The Chinese Minister is thoroughly familiar with the conditions here, and will no doubt be able to give the young man such advice as he needs. I hope that you, too, will feel perfectly free to write me from time to time, offering such suggestions as may occur to you whereby Mr. Lo’s work may be made as satisfactory and beneficial as possible. Very truly yours, [signature] Alice M. Duran C. Lo. Ying Dr. Alfred E.

Dear Sir:- On my return to Andover after an absence of a few days I find your letter of the 21st inst., which has been acknowledge in my absence by our Registrar, Mr. Bancroft. It has occurred to me that a small home school not far from here, with which a brother of mine is associated, and which is designed primarily to fit boys to meet our entrance requirements, might offer you just the kind of work you most need to enable you to enter the Academy next fall. While the school is designed primarily for young boys, this is its first year, and the few boys who are there vary in age from fifteen to eighteen years. The nature of the work is largely personal, in fact almost equivalent to private tutoring. At the same time, the home life which is provided would offer you an exceptionally good opportunity to perfect your English. The terms are very reasonable. The location makes it possible for you to visit Andover from time to time on the occasion of affairs of interest, while, as I have before said, the work is based almost wholly on the scholarship requirements of Phillips Academy. I know of no other place where you would be more likely to secure the special work and attention needed to make your later work here most successful. I shall be glad to advise you further in regard to this school, should you so desire. If the plan meets with your approval, the earlier you can get started, the better. As Mr. Bancroft has written you, we have a number of Chinese students in the school, seven in all. Some of these are Government students, and others are private students. The majority have come here through the influence of the present Chinese Minister to this country, Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, who was himself at one time a student in the school, and who has always been a loyal friend. He is at present the President of our Washington Alumni Association, and only last week I had the pleasure of dining with him in Washington, He plans to send his own boys to us in the near future. Kindly advise me if I can be of any further assistance in providing for your work, and believe me, Very truly yours, C. Lo. Ying Dr. Alfred E.

You are at liberty to say to this fellow that in the case of our Chinese students we attach little importance to the actual examination results and are accustomed to make provisional assignments for them on the basis of their earlier work and recommendations of previous instructors.

While our courses are arranged primarily to meet the admission requirements of the leading colleges and universities, we have had a number of boys from time to time who have gone to agricultural schools. These boys as a rule have not found it necessary to complete our entire course. The most recent and conspicuous instance of a boy pursuing this course is that of Mr. Jen, one of our Chinese students, who is engaged to the daughter of the recent Chinese Ambassador to this country, Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, and who went directly from this school to the Massachusetts Agricultural College at Amherst where he has made an exceptionally good record. I do not know of the exact requirements of the Iowa State Agriculture College, but I imagine they are not much different from those of the Massachusetts College.
