If you are up in this section during the holidays do drop in on us for the annual Christmas celebration. We expect to have with us at that time whatever Chinese and other boys are stranded in Andover, and there will be a few of the former in any case, and among them some of your old friends.

Indeed, I should welcome the chance to talk to the Chinese boys at Troy when I coms there next Sunday. Perhaps you can best make definite arrangements with Dr. Zelie himself. I am due to preach at Williams College in the morning and, recording to Dr. Zelie, must leave Williamstown about soon for Troy. The service at Troy, I believe, comes at either four or five o’clock in the afternoon. Probably there would not be much time to meet you before that service, but the evening ought to furnish an opportunity, as I plan to take the late train that night, at Albany, for Boston. I would suggest therefore, that you talk the matter over with Dr. Zelie and see if we can’t work in an evening hour for the meeting in question. Faithfully yours C.K. Chien Dr. Alfred E.

Stearns Phillips Academy Andover, Mass. Dear Dr. Stearns: I received a copy of the Phillips bulletin two days ago and I was very much pleased to read about the interesting facts of the old school. I hope everything is getting along nicely and with many brighter prospects. I was at Dr. Zelie's church this morning and learned of your presence among us on the coming Sunday. Immediately my thoughts turned to the deep interest that you always have to the Chinese students and I know you will be glad to meet some of them now studying at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. But if these were well, I could ask the fellows to come to the church to shake hands with you. On the contrary, we have at present bigger problems to face and, therefore, are eager to hear some advices with regard to our presence among the American and our attitudes to each other, to the understanding of the Church and Christian force, and subjects of like character. Being one who wants to see a better relation and understanding of the east and the west, I have been most anxious to set our group of Chinese students, which is, unfortunately, rather deadly, in working. I was overjoyed to hear of your coming and I told of it to a few friends of mine, We felt sure that you can help us and we would like to have you talk to us when you come, privately. Will you undertake to do so when you come, if you can spare an hour or so?  As I do not know the time of your arrival and how long do you expect to stay in Troy, may I ask you to let me know about your plans, so if you can spend an hour with us we can make arrangements of the time and the place of our gathering. There are twenty one Chinese students at R.P.I, at present. Among them, we have about ten Christians. I am getting along awfully well during these days. I passed all my first term work and am now starting on several new courses. Bright and sunshiny afternoons tell me that spring is coming soon. I hope all the boys are in good condition. Looking forward to see you at Troy, I am, Yours most respectfully C.K. Chien Dr. Alfred E.

My dear Mr. Hu: I am sorry indeed to have to report that your plans for your fellow students from Nan Kai College have gone badly astray and that your generous efforts in behalf of these boys hare seemingly been misplaced. As I wrote you some time ago, our friend, Pih, gained admission to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where I hope he will be able to maintain a proper pace. His companions, Chu and Fang, s eased very much unsettled here for the first few days of their stay. Chu was extremely homesick and was in the infirmary for several days, finally he was persuaded by other Chinese boys to get out of bed and go about the usual school activities, with the result that the homesickness promptly disappeared. I saw both of the boys frequently after that time and found them in the best of spirits and apparently happy and contented. During the latter part of the past week I was compelled to be out of town and on my return, learned, to my surprise, that Messrs. Chu and Fang had suddenly left school without notifying any of us of their intentions or securing the necessary official permission to withdraw. The other Chinese boys were so disturbed by what had occurred that they sent two of their representatives to Boston to hunt up the boys and bring then back. This they did. We were not able to change the minds of there wanderers, however, and though I talked with them at length I could only secure from them the statements that they found the work too hard and proposed to leave. This last attitude is a bit interesting, in view of the fact that their first dissatisfaction was attributed by them to their belief that the work here would be altogether too easy and that they ought to be in a higher institution. Under the circumstance I could do nothing but allow the boys to withdraw; though I assured them that in all my dealing with Chinese boys for the past twenty years, this was the first instance that had come to my attention where there seemed to be an utter lack of appreciation of what their friends here had attempted to do for them and a willingness to adopt high-handed methods of procedure which in themselves showed complete lack of proper and gentlemanly conduct. The other Chinese boys in the school felt so strongly on this score that they held an indignation meeting and drew up a statement expressing their keen regret and offering their apologies for this unseenly and unjustified conduct on the part of their countrymen. I am writing to you frankly, for I know of your keen interest in these boys and your desire to haws them at Andover. From all I can gather, some outside influence has been at work to make the boys discontinued. I understand that they are planning to stay in Boston for a time, that they have already engaged rooms there, and that they are talking of entering Boston University or some other institution, the standards of admission to which are not of the highest, later in the year. I cannot help feeling that such a course would be about the worst thing that the boys could possibly do, for they need the discipline and routine of regular school life and are not likely to gain anything of value by hanging around a large city at this stage of their American careers. Of course I have not the slightest desire that the boys should return to Andover so long as they are satisfied that they cannot be happy here. I hope, however, that they can be persuaded to take a little different view of their obligation opportunities in this country and will not spoil their chances of successful careers, as some other Chinese boys have done in the past, by refusing to meet those standards and requirements which we expect of our own American students and which the large majority of Chinese students have most willingly accepted as necessary and wise.
