Stearns, Principal Phillips Academy Andover, Mass. My dear Mr. Stearns: Your letter to Mr. Esty has been referred to me for information concerning the admission of Kuo Fang Tsai. It is the case here that we are ready to accept the study of the Chinese classics in lieu of Latin provided we can get some acceptable assurance that it has been a practical equivalent in character and amount to our requirement in Latin. This would mean a minimum of five years actual "classical" study in Chinese. If there is any way in which Mr. Tsai can present documents showing such preparation we will be very happy to credit him. Tom asks me to extend to you his very warmest regards. Cordially yours Dr. Alfred E. Stearns William J.

Dear Sir: In answer to your favor of September 6th, I would suggest that it is probably unnecessary for you to cable to Tien Tsin for the name of the boy to whose account the $2,000 recently forwarded me shall be credited. Probably I shall hear from the father shortly, but in the meantime it perhaps would be wise for you to drop a letter to your Tien Tsin office asking for the information requested so that I may be sure that 1 am making no mistake in handling the funds in question. I have every reason to believe that the money is for Kuo Fong Tsai, but will have a little easier conscience in the matter when I have been definitely advised that this assumption is correct.

In response to your letter of September 3rd, inquiring for the name of the remitter of the above funds, we would inform you that we have already placed at your disposal all of the details which the cable message instructing the payment contained, and we assume that the remitter advised our Tientsin Office that it would be unnecessary to include his name, thereby reducing the cable tolls.

Mr.Edwin V. Spooner, Phillips Exeter Academy, Exeter, N.H. My dear Mr.Spooner: I thank you for your letter of September 4th and for the welcome information you have given me about Charlie Tsai and his summer work. I mailed you a few days ago a check for $400 to cover the payment on the boy’s tuition for the summer, Since then I have received the complete bill, including extras. I am sending you, therefore, an additional check for $34.66 to cover the balance due. If you will kindly return the receipt for the total amount as shown on the accompanying statement, I shall he indebted to you. The bill would have been settled long ago but for the fact that the boy had overdrawn his account rather heavily and the customary remittance from China was a bit delayed. Trusting that the summer has proved a happy and prosperous one for you and with best wishes for the new school year just opening, believe me Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Edwin V.

I am pleased to inform you that “Charlie” is in good physical condition and has had a good summer. He has made commendable progress in Ancient History, Plane Geometry, and English. As has always been the case, his work is irregular and he has no more than an even chance with his examinations. If he is to take college examinations this fall, he should continue to work until the time of those examinations. If he does this, his chances will be very much improved. Personally I am very fond of the boy and feel that he is developing rapidly and should make a fine man. He has been a real addition to the camp. I hope the summer has been a pleasant and restful one for you. Very truly yours Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Edwin V.

My dear Mr. Stearns: Kuo Fang Tsai has just come into my office, having found, to his dismay, that he had been informed by some student or other that the Amherst examination which he was to take in geometry came today, when in fact it came yesterday. However, upon checking up his verbal report of his credits, I find we ought to be able to credit him with Mathematics A, French A, B, German A, English 1, and four points in Chinese. If he passes our examination in English 2 on Monday we could credit him with that point also. In this case he can enter Amherst conditioned in geometry, and I hope we may be able to arrange for him to take a special entrance examination in that subject in the near future. In the meantime, I am asking him to get into my hands as soon as possible the credits which he has from Harvard and from your brother's school. Cordially yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns William J.

My dear Mr. Newlin: Thank you for your letter about Tsai. The boy has been my personal ward since he has been in this country and I have a very genuine interest in his problem, which is a little different from the problems of the other Chinese boys with whom I have dealt; indeed I have never felt quite satisfied that I understood him thoroughly, and those who have met him intimately have not always agreed in their estimates. Tsai’s two brothers were with us a few years ago and did exceptionally well in their work. Young Tsai enjoys much the same kind of popularity with his mates that his brothers Lid, for all of these boys have adapted themselves to the American ways and ideas much more than have most of their Chinese friends. The main difficulty with this youngest member of the family is that he has been too popular. He has also suffered from physical limitations which have slightly encroached on his intellectual activities arid progress. Anyway this boy’s record in his studies has been a bit irregular. On two different occasions I decided to sever the Andover connection and give him elsewhere the individual attention which he seemed to need. Last year he went to my brother’s school in Mount Vernon, and with the understanding that he was to make college in the fall. I urged this strongly because I believed he needed an incentive to keep him hard at it. This summer my brother told me that he felt that I was expecting too much and that the boy really needed another year of preparation. This report was also confirmed by the men who worked with him during the summer months at Long Lake Lodge, one of the best of the summer tutoring camps. Consequently I am wondering whether it may not be a mistake to encourage the boy to attempt the Amherst work, even though he succeeds in gaining a technical admission. Of course it is for you to determine the wisdom of acting favorably on Tsai's application. I am giving you the facts frankly, however, so that you may know, so far as possible, the kind of problem with which we are dealing. If he can get in and can hold the pace, I very much hope that he will go ahead; on the other hand, I should dislike exceedingly to have him enter and then have him drop out during the course. Tsai is a most attractive and likable fellow, as you will no doubt discover. He is a bit weak in his will power and hasn't the stability and self-control which are generally such prominent characteristics in his fellow countrymen. With every good wish to you for the year just opening, believe me always Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns William J. Newlin
