Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Chang Pah Lung Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Phillips Academy Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource July 28, 1920 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource All Rights Reserved By Phillips Academy Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Correspondence Relation A related resource Tientsin, 28th July, 1920 Dr. Alfred Stearn, Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass U. S. A. Dear Dr. Stearns, My friend Mr. M. T. Liang wrote about two months ago requesting you to be the guardian of my boy, Chang Shao Ling, now named Harvey S. L. Chang whose photo was sent you in the same cover, I have not as yet had the pleasure of hearing from you that you would do me the favour to undertake the guardianship, but Mr. Liang assures me that as you are always interested in the good training and fine education of Chinese boys, your affirmative reply is on way coming here. It is needless to say how I felt satisfied and appreciated by my friend’s recommendation to place the boy entirely in charge of you, a learned and virtuous gentleman who will take a fatherly interest in this youngster. Harvey was 15 years of age last month and has just finished his freshman year in Tsing-hua College, Peking. I think he has to study for some three years in your school before he will be qualified to join a College in America to pursue along a special profession. At present he has some inclination to learn civil engineering but he may change his mind later on. In course of time you will be a better judge than he or myself as to when he may be admitted to a College and what profession would fit him best. The following are the books which he has studied or is studying:* Nesfield’s English Grammar Series (1, 2, A, 4)  Brewer's Oral English Elson's Grammar School Reader (Book 4) Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare Stevenson's Treasure Island T. A* Quiller-Couch's Historical Tales from Shakspeare Hall and Knight's Elementary Algebra Wentworth's Elementary Algebra Barnard's A Hew Geometry for Schools Steele’s Popular Physics Stone Hillis' Plane Geometry Pease's General Science Renouf's General History Eraser and Squair's Abridged French Grammar Blouet's Intermediate French Wood-Working Apart from useful knowledge and learning to be acquired in a school it is essential that he should be given a training in high morals and ethics that he may become a man of fine charter. If you agree with me that he will learn more about all these in a good Christian family than in the dormitory, please let him board and lodge in a home which you will kindly select for him, I have requested Mr. F. M. Pyke of the Methodist Mission to call on you while he is spending his summer vacation in Massachusetts, to acquaint you with my desire in this respect. He may make some recommendation and suggestion but nothing is final without your approval, Harvey has not been baptized but I feel inclined to think that he believes in Christianity, I have given him freedom to choose a religion provided he would be sincere in what he believes. Eventually he may be a Protestant. I am remitting to you through First National Bank of Boston, Boston, $1,OOO* and beginning from 1921 a remittance of $750.- will be sent you through the same Bank every six months. I suppose this will be sufficient to cover all expenses including clothing etc and an allowance to Harvey as petty cash. The boy has no choice in the matter of buying necessaries and has to be satisfied with whatever allowance you may give him. Kindly see that he will practice economy and will not spend more than he ought to. My boy will leave from Shanghai on or about 23rd August by s/s "NANKING". The steamer may be due at San Francisco on 15th September. After stopping at the latter port for two or three days he will take train to Chicago and thence to Boston where a friend in Y.M.C.A will meet him and see that he will go safely to Andover. Now, Dr. Stearns, I hope I am not intruding when I write you such a long letter. My next will be handed you by my boy personally. I therefore close this, adding that I feel most grateful to you for all the trouble you will take in charge of my boy. Kindest regards. Yours sincerely, Chang Pah Lung Dr. Alfred E. Stearns https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/1aa756692fc2fd0b736c7aa48c3d5ad3.jpg ce165a69a5a7fcf6fead4bccb39432e5 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Having dealt with Chinese students for the past fifteen or twenty years, I think I know pretty clearly what the parents of these boys desires, and I can assure you that thei cases will be given my most careful and earnest consideration. The wishes will be carried out to the fullest possible extent. I hope to be able to take care of two or three of the youngsters in my own family circle, but you may rest assured that the other members of the group will not be left to shift for themselves. They will receive as much as attention and thought would my own children. I am deep by sensible of the responsibility that rests upon me in view of the confidence and trust which the parents of these children have so generously placed in me; and I shall not betray that trust if it is humanly possible to guard against such a catastrophe.

C. Liang 3 Gordon Road Tientsin, China My dear Mr.Liang: Your good letter of May 4th has just reached me. I am glad indeed to know that you are safely home again and in the best of health; though I confess that it would be nice to know that you were a little closer at hand where your friends over here might get a glimpse of you now and then. We shall always recall, and with the deepest pleasure, your brief visit to Andover. It will give me the greatest pleasure to do anything I can for your friend, Chang Shiao Ling; and I am glad to know that he has selected Phillips Academy as his school. I honestly believe that the school has profited greatly lay having these Chinese boys here in recent years; that they have given much to our American boys that our American boys sadly need; and that they themselves here been benefited by the contact. At the present moment we have several hundred more boys enrolled than we can possibly accept this coming fall and we are turning them away by dozens and scores. On the other hand, I must, of course, find a place for this traveller from your part of the world; and nothing would give me greater pleasure than to take him into my own house if you so wish, where I have been taking care of two of our boys this year and hope to continue the connection next year as well. In view of Mr. Liang’s age it seems to me that this might perhaps be a desirable arrangement for at least the first year of his Andover course. Tsai seems to come through the year pretty well. So far as I can judge, he has not been inclinded to spend money a bit more freely than his older brothers, though, as you know, the cost of everything has risen so tremendously in the l ast year or two that it would be absolutely impossible for him to get through the year on anything like the same amount which his brothers spent when they were here. I have found him always courteous and responsive, anxious to cooperate and friendly and in every way a most satisfactory ward. He is planning to pass the summer at the same tutoring camp where he was last year and where he was extremely popular. His teachers tell me that he works with excellent spirit and that on the whole he is making good progress, though one or two of his studies come hard to him. He ought be even better next year. We have certainly been passing through disturbed and somewhat distressing times during recent months. Frankly, I hardly know what to think of my own country. There are so many cross currents at work amongst us that to an outsider at least, it would appear that e we had lost all ideals and idealism, and were once more immersed, and even more deeply than ever beyer, in the process of purely selfish money-grabbing and material accomplishment. That we are suffering from this disease there can be no doubt. At the same time, I know that underneath there is still a strong current of high purpose and unselfish aims which some day must make itself felt. Whether this can be done without suffering and sacrifice I cannot say. I have always felt, and still believe more strongly than ever, that our sacrifice and suffering in the great war were not nearly sufficient to bring us to our full senses and make us realize as a people the higher and enduring value of life. It is mighty easy to become a rank pessimist as one looks about on the country today, and yet I myself am still enough of an optimist to believe that things will right themselves in time, and that eventually we shall return a little nearer at least to the high ideals of our fathers. Please remember me most warmly to any of my Chinese friends whom you may happen to see from time to time and believe me with warm personal regards and sincerest good wishes. Every faithfully yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns M.T.
