These have been strenuous days up here with the combination of heat and rush of the opening school year. We are still alive, however, and ready to do business at the old stand. I enclose check for forty-five dollars as requested. Kindly return receipt. Your proposed change of course interests me, and if it has your father’s full approval I have no doubt that you are acting wisely. Any way I hope it will result in a little better standing and fewer warnings from the Registrar's office. Please save me that anxiety this year. I wish that the Conference might decide to come to Andover this year. We would be ready to give them a warm welcome, and with our added equipment would be able to do much better by them than we were able to do a few years ago when they met here. Do what you can to get them. With all best wishes for the year, believe me as of old Faithfully yours, Principal. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Tommy Y.C.

Frank¬ly, I am losing all patience; for after doing my best for you as a good friend for a number of years, it now seems impossible even to get a courteous reply from you to necessary inquiries made to as¬certain what I may rightly expect from you in the way of cooperation in regard to your present obligations. I never dreamed that the time would come when I should have to write you in this vein; but that time apparently has come, and through no one’s fault but your own. If you would only do me the courtesy to answer my letters, I should feel that there was at least some chance of getting together. As it is, it looks as if the entire burden were to fall upon my shoulders unless something definite and drastic is done, and at once. Have you any suggestions to make? Faithfully yours, C.E.H.

Correspondence. Relation A related resource April 21, 1927 My dear Mr. Tsai: I have received and read with the deepest interest your letter of March 22 which reached me a few days ago. Naturally we are all concerned over the present unrest in China and are hoping that the situation may speedily clear and that the best interests of all may be conserved in the process. A stable and responsible government for the nation would be a wonderful thing for China and for the world. I note that you do not wish individual receipts for expenditures in the children's behalf sent to you and will act accordingly. I am also interested in your expressed opinion that you do not desire Helen to go to college but prefer her to take a general course to round out her American education, with special emphasis on English., These instructions of yours I shall endeavor to carry out to the beat of my ability, and shall also try to see that beside emphasizing English herecourses include French, Music, and is sanction in the handling of the typewriter. She is already taking lessons on the piano, and I judge from what Mrs. Hassell tells me is doing as well as the average beginner of her age can be expected to do. I see no reason why such a course as your have suggested cannot be secured without adding the college coarse as well, and I can readily understand why you would hesitate to take on the extra and heavy expense that the college career would involve. I have found from the experience of recent years that it costs about $2,000.00 per individual to meet the expenses of the American education and the vacation expenses as well. The latter is no small item in these days. This is just double what it used to cost years ago when I first assumed charge of some of the wards of our old friends Sir Chentung Liang Cheng , but with the present prices in Americana change is inevitable. Last year I checked up carefully with Mr. Sze, your Minister in Washington who has had charge of the education of a number of Chinese in this country, and was a good bit relieved to find that he had encountered the same problem and reached a conclusion that fitted in closely with my own. On this basis, therefore, the funds which you have sent me, allowing for interest which will accumulate during the period in question, should cover the expenses of Helen and Alfred for from four to five years, and in that time we should be able to give Helen at least a well rounded education. I assume in Alfred’s case that you will wish him to go on to college or a scientific school, according to the inclinations and abilities he reveals through his preparatory course. Helen is making excellent progress and is exceedingly ambitious. Alfred seems to famish a different problem. He is disposed to take things a bit easily and to enjoy the social more than the intellectual side of life. We shall evidently have our hands full to induce him to put forth his best efforts along intellectual lines, but I can assure you that we shall do the best in our power to accomplish this. It seems somewhat doubtful whether he will be ready to meet the rather high scholastic requirements of Phillips Academy by this coming year, though I have urged him to lend his best efforts to attain this goal. The second remittance which you made to me on February 33 and amounting to $6,000.00 gold was duly received, and, as requested, I cabled you at once announcing this fact. Word came back to me later that the cable could not be delivered at the Peking address, and Instructed the company to try Tientsin. Word came back that you could not be found there either, and the last report I had was to the effect that the message had been returned to Peking and a farther attempt made at delivery there. Whether this was successful or not, I can’t say. I am sending this letter to Helen, as requested, in order that it may be properly addressed and forwarded to you in China. Needless to say I trust that it will reach its destination safely and will find you and your family well and comfortable and relieved, in part at least, of the strain from which you must have suffered during recent months. With sincerest good wishes to you all, believe me Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

My dear Mr. Chu: I have the letter of November 30th, signed by yourself and Mr.Feng. Needless to say, I do not feel competent to offer you any further advise in view of the way in which such little advice as I have attempted to give you in the past has been so totally disregarded. I can only express again the very deep and genuine regret I feel, and shall always feel, that you and your friend, unlike the vast majority of Chinese students it has been my privilege to know and deal with in the past, should have preferred to take the easier road to a lesser goal. Are Chinese boys as a whole have come to this country determined to make the most of their opportunities, and to secure the best in educational lines that the country could offer. To attain this they have been willing to work hard., and at times to make considerable sacrifices. It has been something of a shock and a very great disappointment as well, to find that you and your friend are apparently unwilling to make the sacrifices and put forth the necessary effort to insure admission to one of our highest institutions of learning, and hence be able at a later date to return to your own country best prepared to face and handle successfully the intricate and pressing problems which must be solved aright if your nation is not to become the victim of outside aggression and internal weakness. I still hope and pray that you may yet come to realize the weakness of your present course and may develop a higher purpose and a readiness to make the needed sacrifice before you lose touch with your American opportunity Sincerely yours Dr. Alfred E.
