I will hand your letter to the boy’s class officer; and I am sure that if your suggestions prove practicable, they will be carried out. As a matter of fact, however, there is not one boy in twenty who has had a full year of Algebra before coming to us who has covered anything like the full amount of work which our classes cover here in a year. If, however, we find that Kwong can do the advanced work, we shall certainly be only too ready and glad to give it to him. Very sincerely yours. Alfred Kwong Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Lottie M.

We are enjoying thoroughly and profiting distinctly by the presence of these Chinese boys in our student body. The friendship I have formed with many of them, including the friendship with the late Dir Liang Chentung to whom you refer, led me several years ago, when the Trustees allowed me a year of absence from school duties, to seek the East and to spend some two most enjoyable months in your native country. This experience has only served to deepen my interest in the Chinese boys who come to us; and I am glad indeed that we are going to be able to include your nephew in that number. Sincerely yours.

My dear Sir: I have your note of February 3, inquiring about Mr. Y.S.Tseng, one of our former Chinese students. Most of the Chinese boys who come to us have been wards of mine at the request of their parents. Mr.Tseng is an exception, and I know little about him expect he seemed a bit flashy and altogether too free a spender during his school course with us to indicate the presence in his make-up of a very serious purpose. There were times when he was pretty badly behind with his bills, though it is my impression that these were all straightened out in the end. The last I heard of Mr. Tseng he was supposed to be on his way back to China - at least he assured me personally that that was his plan when he left us some weeks ago.

Dear Chan: Thank you for your good note of April 14. I am sorry that it was necessary for me to drop Hamilton from my list this year, but, as I explained to your good president, I simply had to cut down these out-of-town trips; and Hamilton is a long way off. I did tell Dr. Ferry, however, that I would try to go a year later if he would let me off at this time. Mr. Bancroft tells me that so far no boys hare reported at the office that they are heading for Hamilton. I am worry that this is so, for I do not know a higher grade college in the country and I wish more of our boys were inclined to look upon it with favor. The fast is that it is a bit out of the way, as you know, and I imagine that the location has as much as anything xxx with the seeming lack of interest.

Ferry Hamilton College Clinton, N.Y. My dear Doctor Ferry: Another one of our Chinese boys, H. C. Chan tells me that he is hoping to enter Hamilton College next fall and has asked me to write you a word in his behalf. This I am glad to do. Chan has been with us for a couple of years and is a pretty likable sort of a boy. He has lived up to the school requirements in a steady and responsible way, as most of these Chinese lads do. He has not the ability of Yuan who is now with you, nor indeed the same kind of a background, for he is a Hongkonger and doubtless a Cantonese. As a rule these fellows do not prove nearly so good timber as their northern brethren though there are exceptions at times, and our senior Latin prize was carried off by one of them only a few years ago. Anyway Chan will doubtless prove a wholly satisfactory member of your student body if he is successful in gaining admission to Hamilton. I hope he will succeed. Faithfully yours Dr. Alfred E.

My dear Sir: Thank you for your very courteous letter of September 17. Please that I have no intention whatever of criticizing you personally for your actions in connection with the detention of Mr. Chan. As I endeavored to make clear, I believed at the time, and still believe that you were doing exactly what you felt it was year duty to do under the circumstances and this belief was prompted by the exceedingly courteous way in which you dealt with the boy and with me at the time. What I cannot understand is how there Chinese students in the country, who are here legitimately and have complied with all the requirements of the law, are expected to act when, as in the cases of a number of them at least, the passports have been taken from them by the immigration inspectors when they first landed. I have dealt with these boys now for many years and have had something like one hundred of them as my personal wards over a period of twenty-five years duration. For nearly twenty years some of those boys have been with me almost annually at my camp at Connecticut lake. They have traveled all over the country without interference up to this time. I cannot help wondering, therefore, just what is expected of them by the United States authorities or whether, granting that the passports had been taken heretofore in a legitimate way, they should be expected to furnish official credentials which they cannot necessarily possess. My purpose in taking the matter up at headquarters in Washington should not in any sense reflect on your action in the case. I am merely seeking information which I evidently did not possess and by which these boys may be spared further and embarrassing annoyances in the future. I think you will agree what this is a perfectly proper position for me to take. Thank you for returning Chan’s certificate which arrived safely. Very sincerely yours. C.S. Crosby Dr. Alfred E.

Will you kindly return the papers to me by registered mail so that there won’t be any danger of losing them. I am still at a loss to account for the authority by which by this boy’s journey was interrupted. Your attitude in the matter convinces me that you acted in perfectly good faith and for that reason I could not bring myself to utter the vigorous protest I was prompted to send at the time. I am convinced, however, that the action was not justified, and in order to deal fairly with these wards of mine during their further stay in this country, I feel that it is necessary to lay the matter before the headquarters in Washington and find out what is demanded. As a matter of fact the passports of my other wards were taken from them when they first landed in San Francisco and they were told that these passports would be forwarded to Washington. They have not seen them since but have traveled freely about the country for the last three years and without any interference on the part of the authorities. Had young Chan from across the border I can readily see why the passport should have been demanded by you. As his journey started from my camp in New Hampshire and the trip did not involve crossing the border, I am puzzled to know the exact reasons for his detention.
