I do not know whom to recommend as a suitable person to present Confucianism at your conference. At our conference here last year one of the boys, I think Mr. Koo of Columbia, presented the subject in a very interesting and striking way. My impression, too, is that hr. Wong of Yale, who seemed to me about the strongest and sanest Man here last summer, could do this acceptably. I do not know the summer addresses of either of these boys. It has occurred to me that hr. Henry D. Fearing of Amherst, who for years has kept in close personal touch with most of these foreigners, will be far better able than I am to advise you intelligently on this point. I am sorry that I feel so incompetent myself but I must be frank to admit limitations. A word as to Wong Vung Lung. Yes, I have been disappointed in that boy. impression is that the unusual domestic situation which has surrounded him as a school boy has been largely to blame for his seeming lack of progress. I have always felt more than usual interest in these Chinese students and when Wong first appeared, I was immensely attracted to him. My wife often laughed at enthusiasm on this point. The boy seems to lack a sense of responsibility and apparently fails to feel the importance of such natural business obligations as we are accustomed to encounter and of necessity must meet in a businesslike way. His work has been constantly interrupted and has been irregular and incomplete.  Personally I feel that the year has done very little for him in so far as the attainment of the ideal of his father is concerned I confess that from the outset the boy seems to have been handicapped by his surroundings and I am hopeful that a way can be found to make things easier for him in the future. From what I have heard I infer that his sister's record this past year must have been equally irregular. I know at least that she spent days at a time in Andover to the injury of the boy's work and I have no doubt to the detriment of her own. Perhaps I am unduly disturbed for I confess that my feelings are shaped more by general impressions than by overt and definite acts on the boy’s part. Still I was naturally prejudiced in his favor and I don't believe that my feelings would have undergone such a change without some good -reason. I shall do my best to get in closer touch with him from now on in the hope that I may be able to discover the real difficulty and, if possible, supply a remedy. With Kind personal regards, believe me Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns May Wright Sewall Wong Vung Lung https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/9e43c71739b051cc8ea14424c5236504.jpg 6b8d715309ab5e7bddc856617f849f79 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Even now I must write hurriedly, deeply as I feel on the question at issue. 1 sent for Wong after reviving your letter, and gave him some fatherly advice without attempting to qualify the terms of my disapproval of his act. Frankly, the boy has been a a great disappointment to me, as he has been to you. Indeed, the same must be said, I regret to add, of several of our Chinese boys. I do not know whether my advice accomplish anything or not, but I begged and urged Wong to observe the ordinary standards of decency and honor and stand by his original agreement with the owners of the cottage. I must sincerely hope that he has done so. Nor do I wonder at your anxiety and disgust. This is not the first evidence I have had during the year that has convinced me that Wong has not yet developed a clear perspective in regard to many things. I believe the boy has good material in him, and though I have been extremely fond of all of the Chinese boys we have had here, Wong appealed to me at the outset more strongly than did any of the others. Hence I am the more disappointed to discover his shortcomings,. I think the boy in this particular instance you have mentioned should at least be held for every penny that has been put into the house by the owners on the expectation of the carrying out of his promise. Before the summer is over I shall endeavor to find an opportunity to see you in person and talk over the whole situation . For one thing, much as I would regret to seem to break up Wong a home, I am convinced that the responsibility and distractions of a wife and child and a sister who comes and goes apparently without restraint have all combined to interfere very seriously with the boy’s education. I do hope that some other arrangement for the coming year may be possible.

Cambridge, Mass. Mr. dear Mrs. Sewall, Since my talk with you yesterday I have had a chance to investigate Wong’s class work more carefully. The reports I received pleased me greatly. The boy finds it most difficult to make up his mathematics, but as he was passing in the subject at the end of the fall term, his instructor thinks that he will be able to make a satisfactory standing before the year is over. In the language I received my best reports, particularly in English. Wong is doing double English, and his two instructors speak in the very highest terms of his ability and success. Their praises are almost as strong as those you sounded in regard to the boy's sister. One of the men made the statement that he doubted whether he had ever had an American boy who showed clearer knowledge of grammer or a finer literary appreciation than does Wong. His modern language work, too, is reported as very strong. Unfortunately his Latin instructor was absent, and I could not get a report on this subject. From these reports it would appear that at present the boy is not suffering seriously from domestic handicaps. Whether this will prove to be true always is of course the question. I cannot help feeling that he would advance much more rapidly in his education if he did not have the outside distractions but I really, of course, that the conditions exist, and we must solve the problems in the way best suited to the welfare of all concerned. I shall be glad to hear from you after your talk with Mrs.Pope and I can in any way render your further assistance, kindly advise me. Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E.

The boy has from the start interested me greatly, and with you I am anxious to do only what shall be for his best interests. Your queries are very natural. Go far as the boy's school work is concerned, I find that his mathematics come harder for him, perhaps, than do the languages, but his instructor tells me that he was passing, though at a low grade, at the time of the interruption to his school work - Since then he has not been able to make up all the work lost, will probably require a tutor to accomplish this. When this has been done he will be able, no doubt, to do the mathematics at a low grade, and will probably improve his standing as time goes on. In his modern language he is reported as doing excellent work, better than one of the other Chinese boys in his class, but not quite so good as the third. His work in English is fair, and improving. On the whole I think he has a better knowledge and command of the English language than most of the other Chinese boys have had at the start. Our teachers feel that he has excellent ability, fully the equal of most at least of the other Chinese boys, and that he will probably be able to stand fully as well if his domestic responsibilities do not prove too great a drain on his time and thoughts. As to the domestic situation, I confess that it seems far from desirable looked at from the point of view of the boy’s education. I can readily understand how hard it must be for the boy and his wife to consider a possible separation for most of the time. On the other hand only in that way will he be able, I think, to make the progress which is desired and without which the expense and time involved in his trip to and stay in this country must of necessity be part ill spent. I have said nothing whatever to Mr Wong on these lines, but an glad that you have been willing to put the ease so frankly. I may be wrong, but with the limited knowledge of the case that I now have, it is impossible for me to reach any other conclusion. Purely apart from the interference with his scholarship that the domestic arrangement involves, it seems only fair to say that the boy’ s relations with his schoolmates and his position in the school life as a whole must of necessity be seriously embarrassed by the presence and claims of hie wife and family. It seems almost heartless to advise a separation, but if the boy is in earnest in his desire to carry out his father's wishes for the best education America can give him, I believe he must adopt such a course. Trusting that you will appreciate fully the spirit in which I write, and will feel perfectly free to offer any suggestions or criticisms that my words may prompt, believe me, Very truly yours, Dr. Alfred E.
