K. Tu 687 Kong Lok Li Shanghai, China My dear Mr. Tu I have this morning received your letter of May 14, enclosing check for $600.00, which I am depositing to your boy's account, The earlier check for $1,000.00, which you sent in your letter of February 2, was duly received, deposited to the boy's account, and an acknowledgment made you on March 2nd. I am enclosing a copy of that letter which apparently has gone astray, so that you may see that the check was duly received and the proper acknowledgement made. I sincerely trust that this letter may be more fortunate in reaching its destination. I am enclosing also a statement of your son's account to date. It has been very difficult to handle the boy's problem at a distance, as I have had to do recently, but I am sure that he is getting in his present school more of the kind of work that he needs at present than would have been possible here at Andover, where the numbers are larger and the studies mere exacting. His present principal and the boy himself seem to feel that another year at the school where he is now studying will prove more beneficial to him than a change at this time. The summer and vacation problems prove the most difficult ones to settle satisfactorily. The summer vacation, especially, is bound to prove expensive and hard to adjust in the best possible way. If you, yourself, have any suggestions to make in this connection, please let me have them. Summer tutoring schools and camps are regularly pretty high-priced; on the other hand, I don’t like to see boys, foreigners especially, turned loose for a vacation life at beaches, hotels, and summer resorts, and even that life is, of course, highly expensive also. I shall endeavor to arrange with the boy himself for a vacation that will prove as inexpensive as practicable and at the same time will give the lad a healthful and a profitable summer. With kindest regards, believe me always Very sincerely yours. Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E.

I am sorry indeed to learn that I neglected to enclose the statement of expenses with my previous letter. I am having the account struck off at this time and will be sure to see that a copy is sent you with the letter I am now dictating. With my fall approval and at the suggestion of our local doctor, your boy is this week having his tonsils removed and some slight operations performed on his nose. He has been greatly hampered physically, and I am inclined to think intellectually also, by the handicap he has suffered from an unnatural condition of the throat and nose, and, from the experience we have gained from scores of similar cases among our own boys here, I feel sure that the work in question is not only necessary but that it will prove to be of the greatest value to him along both physical and intellectual lines. Through Miss Carter, who has been tutoring the boy recently and who is immensely interested in his welfare, we have been able to arrange to have the work done at a minimum expense. Assuring you of my deepest appreciation of the exceptional by friendly spirit that characterizes your letter and with kindest regards and warmest good will. Believe me. Very sincerely yours.

I am crediting to your boy’s account. Up to the receipt of your check the account had been overdrawn a bit, but I feel sure that your son has really tried hard to keep the expenses within bounds. Just at present he is concerned about his school for next year and is to interview we within a day or two in regard to plans. It is his feeling, and I am inclined to share it, that he is not quite fully prepared to handle the work in so large a school as ours and that he will make better progress in the end to invest the coming year in a small school and come to us later to compete his preparation. This is the plan which many of our Chinese students have pursued in the past, and I cannot help feeling that he will make the best progress in this way.

The reports emphasize the very mediocre quality of your son’s performance and raise seriously the question as to his ability or willingness to meet the scholarship requirements which will be demanded of him here at Andover. He has been very insistent that he should be allowed to undertake our work, and I am willing to grant him the opportunity, though I must admit with serious misgivings as to the outcome. I am still unable to determine in my own mind whether the difficulty is due to lack of ability or the boy’s part or lack of serious purpose. Both the factors probably enter into the situation, though I am inclined to think that the latter plays the more important part. Once your son has shown us what is able and willing to do, I can form a better opinion as to the real difficulty and can in convenience, perhaps, plan more wisely for his future. On the basis of his work to date, however, I can’t help questioning seriously the wisdom of continuing indefinitely the experiment of an American education. Very sincerely yours. Admiral H.K.

Perhaps it will be well for the sake of future reference to have on file from you a regular scholarship application blank, and I am enclosing one herewith. You are right in inferring that we shall be lenient with you so far as entrance examinations requirements are concerned. I do not think you need to worry about these, though it will be good practice for you to take them. The Italian now here, to whom you refer, had only just come to this country, and was wholly unfamiliar with the work and methods of American schools. This distinguishes his case from yours, but I am convinced by the nature of your earlier reports that the entrance requirements here will cause you little difficulty. I am glad to hear that your friend, Mr. Wu, will probably enter the Academy with you.

In order that you may keep posted on your financial status, I am enclosing a copy of the statement which I am sending to your father at this time and which indicates receipts and expenditures to date. You will note that even with this latest remittance from your father, you have only a small margin left for the immediate future. In his letter to me, your father particularly requests that I should impress upon you the importance of economy at this time in your expenditures, chiefly because of the exceptionally bad situation in the matter of exchange between China and this country. Practically every dollar that your father sends over here now costs him double that amount, so that I know the expense is a mighty serious matter to him at this moment. I told him, however, that 1 thought yon had done very well in keeping your expenses down to date, so that I am not making the above suggestion in any spirit of criticism, but merely to emphasize the necessity, which imagine you yourself appreciate. I only wish that I felt that you had handled your studies as well as you seem to have handled your money. Certainly this last report that I have received free Burdett is discouraging, as it gives no evidence of the progress and achievement which I had hoped most earnestly might appear by this time.

Both president MacDaniel and I feel that you are altogether too inclined to overspend in this line and others, for I can’t for the life of me understand why you should require just this sort of treatment. Of course you should have whatever is necessary for year good health, but it is altogether too easy to believe that one needs more than is necessary. I can't help feeling that this is your tendency at present, for your expenses have been running very high since you went to your present school and a good part of them are not connected with the school at all. At the present time your account is overdrawn three or four hundred dollars, and, if you were handling your own funds, you would be hard up against it at this time. I am willing to make reasonable advances, but I am equally sure that your father does not wish to have you spend as much as you are spending at present, else he would see to it that the necessary funds were provided in advance. I must ask you, therefore, is the absence of explicit instructions from your father to keep these outside expenditures down to the very limit. That's only fair. Faithfully yours, Dr. Alfred E.
