                <text>November 11, 1920&#13;
Dr. Paul S. Reinsch&#13;
Southern Building,&#13;
Washington, D.C.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Dr. Reinsch:&#13;
&#13;
Let me thank you for your letter of recent date in relation to Mr. Wellington Chu. The boy’s ease is a peculiar one, and interests me deeply. Perhaps I will be able to be of some help in the matter.&#13;
&#13;
Let me say at the outset that Chu is no longer at Andover, having departed rather unceremoniously only a few days after his arrival. Just what prompted him to take this step I have still been unable to discover.  Apparently, the other Chinese boys here, of whom there are about a dozen, are equally in the dark. They are all agreed, however, in condemning the boy for his action, and they have made many apologies to me in the belief that his unusual behavior reflected on the generally high standards of conduct and life maintained by the Chinese students as a whole. Unlike most of the other Chinese boys who entered the school this fall, Mr. Chu and a friend named Fang, came with comparatively little advance notice of their arrival. I was finally advised of their intention by a Chinese student who also came to America this fall, and whom I had met in the winter of 1913 at Nanking when the boy was then an undergraduate at the Nanking University. The meeting at that time led to an interchange of correspondence, which has extended up to the present time.Mr. Chu wrote me enthusiastically that he had influenced these boys to come to Andover to be under my care. He himself is now at the Northwestern University at Evanston, Illinois.&#13;
&#13;
When the boys arrived I showed them every attention and courtesy, meeting them and the other delegates in person at the Andover station and bringing them to my own house where I kept most of them for the night, until they were finally settled in their regular rooms. A few days after their arrival Chu developed what appeared to be a bad case of homesickness. He seemed generally upset, and I sent him down to our infirmary in order that he might have real rest and receive the best of attention. I visited him on several occasions and tried my best to cheer him up. The boys themselves did the same and finally his countrymen prevailed upon him to get out of bed and go to his work.  For two or three days he seemed to have recovered completely, when to my complete surprise, after a day’s absence from home, I learned that he and his friend had departed unceremoniously. Two of the other boys started in pursuit and succeeded in finding the wanderers and bringing them back to Andover, for the purpose of assuring a proper severance of the school connection. This was done, and the last I heard of the boys was that they were in Boston attending a private school. Their friends, however, seem to feel that the school interest in not primary with them just now though I cannot speak definitely on this score. I know that Chu’s first contention, after he had been here a few days, was that he had supposed he was entering a college and was distressed to find that he had landed only in a preparatory school.  He even made an attempt to gain admission to Cornell but found he was underprepared. When he finally left he gave as hie excuse that the work was too hard. &#13;
&#13;
Please excuse this long explanation of the situation but I confess that I am very much distressed by it, for after having dealt at close range with these attractive Chinese visitors for nearly twenty years, I must admit that this is the first time that I have over encountered a problem just like this one and I am naturally concerned that the boys involved should not go astray under the American conditions, or miss the one thing for which they wore supposed io make the sacrifice involved in their sojourn in this country. Please let me know if there is anything further I can do in the matter, and be assured that I shall be only too ready to cooperate to the fullest extent. I have in my own house at the present time four children of Mr. Sun Chung Ying of Tientsin, three boys and a girl and also the son of Dr. Kung Sing Ring of Shanghai, so that you see I am in a somewhat strategic position to act if any special action is called for. &#13;
&#13;
Sincerely yours&#13;

My dear Dr. Reinsch: &#13;
&#13;
	Since my last letter to you I have been wondering just what ought to be done with the money naturally due Messrs Chu and Fang in the way of rebate. When the boys first came to us they made the customary payment on room, board and tuition. In view of their short stay, and although they put us to very serious inconvenience in some ways by their erratic actions. I cannot help feeling that a good part of this money should be returned. I have hesitated, however, to send it to the boys direct, because I have felt that they were not carrying out their parents’s wishes at the time, and that it would not be wise for them to have on hand any more free spending money than necessary. &#13;
&#13;
A letter received only yesterday and signed by both of the beys, tells me that they have been tutoring in Boston, but that owing to the high costs of things there they have decided to go west and enter some small college probably after Christmas. I am afraid these two youngsters need at this moment a pretty stiff hand over them if they are not to make a bad mess of their American life and education. I shall deeply appreciate any suggestions you may care to make as to the proper disposition of the money in question. &#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours. &#13;

1003 Ayars Place&#13;
Evanston Illinois &#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr. Hu: &#13;
&#13;
Let me thank you for your most interesting letter of November 24th. The Chinese boys now here give me reports from time to time of Messrs Chu and Fan, and it is apparently the consensus of opinion that these two wanderers are making a sad mistake and are not realizing to the full, here in America, the high ideals and purposes which supposedly prompted them to come to this country. I understand they are tutoring in Boston. With whom and how ofter I cannot say, and for the purpose of entering Boston University later. While it is not my place to criticise, Boston University does not, of course, rank with our best colleges and scientific schools to which the majority of our Chinese visitors naturally look for the education desired. I cannot help feeling that Boston University, in this instance, is selected because it offers an easier read for the two boys in question. &#13;
1 have been having some correspondence recently with Dr, Paul Reinsch, who tells me that he is a close friend of Chu’s father and is interested in the boy’s American career. Dr. Reinsch was very much surprised that the boys had left Andover and I imagine that he may endeavor to use his influence to direct them sanely in their plans for the future. &#13;
&#13;
The other Chinese boys here are all doing well and showing find spirit.&#13;
&#13;
The Suns, as you probably know, are all members of my household. Arthur, the oldest, is doing good work at Phillips Academy. The two younger boys and their sister are attending the public schools. You have certainly sized up young Thomas when you say that he is “naughty at times”. He has a most astounding temper, which makes one fear that he may commit murder when the attack is on, but he soon gets over attacks of this kind and appears to be genuinely sorry for any damage resulting from the storm in question. I am beginning to wonder, however, whether it will not be better for these two younger boys to be separated next term and placed in schools where they will be subject to definite rules and school regulations. The reaction from the rather confined life at home seems to have been a bit too much for their immature minds, and it is a real problem to make them appreciate the fact that there are definite duties that must be done and definite rules to be obeyed in this free land to which they have so recently come. &#13;
&#13;
I have read with the deepest interest what you have to say about China and her present needs. You seem to have sized up the situation very fairly and sanely, and I only wish that all of the Chinese students who have come to us could see things in the same broad light, and would act with courage and firmness towards the accomplishment of these ends, by which China alone can be saved and her future welfare assured. Unfortunately I cannot help believing that a good number of the former students, at least, have not lived up to their opportunities in helping to settle their country’s difficulties. They have been inclined to assume a position of importance and authority without being willing to give into hard work and render the unselfish service necessary to justify their position and to make possible the solution of the nation’s problems. &#13;
&#13;
If you are ever in this part of the country be sure to look me up. In the mean time accept my heartiest wishes for success and happiness in your life and work. I shall doubtless be in Chicago before the year is over and in that case I shall hope to see you. &#13;
&#13;
Sincerely yours. &#13;

Evanston, Ill., &#13;
Nov. 24, 1920&#13;
Dr. A. E. Stearns &#13;
Phillips Academy, &#13;
Andover, Mass.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Dr. Stearns:&#13;
&#13;
I have received both of your letters of October 18 and 22 for which please accept my best thanks. Please excuse the delay in answering. To-morrow is our Thanksgiving Holiday so I take this opportunity to write you a letter. First of all I wish you a most enjoyable Thanksgiving tomorrow. I have been invited out to a Thanksgiving Dinner by the College YMCA here eo I anticipate to have some nice turkey and cranberry to eat then.&#13;
&#13;
Allow me to tell you some thing about the two restless boys,Chu and Fang, who after a few weeks’ private study found that they might not be able to get into the Boston University next Spring thus causing them to think of coming over to some small college in the Mid-West but I am afraid that might act thotless again and I really do not know what to do with them. I wish they could see their follies and reform. How about other new Chinese boys there? I know the Sun Boys and their sister. One of the Sun boys, Thomas,is naughty at times. How is Lee Tsoo Yung?&#13;
&#13;
I insisted on his entering your school when we were on the boat coming over. He is a brilliant boy and I like him. I believe all of them could do first-rate work if they only try their best. Please remember me to all of them and ask them to write me at their convenience. I would like to hear from them regarding their experiences there. Their experiences if told must be quite interesting. Thanks! I stand by strict "discipline" in the practical sense of the word with the High School boys who need it badly and on which their future as useful citizens depends. China must feel very grateful to you for your invaluable services to her sons at this time-time of regeneration in more ways than one.&#13;
&#13;
Let me tell you briefly what heart-rending news I have heard from China regarding both of her political status and her economic status at present. Politically China has been worse than ever as some of the older factions with an idea to get even with newer factions have been trying desperately to put up another monarchy instead of Republic. The latest news I had was that China is now having both an emperor and a president at the same time. Would that be too awful to tolerate? Besides a terrible famine has been raging in several of the provinces in the North of China especially Honan, Chili and Shangtung provinces. All the students in China now have been devoting their time and energy in the Famine Relief Work. The Chinese Students here in America have been doing the same and I have been elected as the chairman of the publicity committee here but I have not done very much yet, pending further instructions from the Central Board at New York. What China needs most is her capacity for both political and social cooperation as Mr. Goodnow, former adviser to the Chinese president and now the president of Johns Hopkins University, has once so well-said. His remarks will get more and more sacred as the days go by. If China does not hurry up to effect a union China’s future as a nation would be unthinkable. I have been perfectly frank with you in my report of China at the present time because I realize to the full that you do have China’s best interests at heart. God knows what is best for China at this time but "God only helps those who help themselves’’.&#13;
&#13;
You know that I am entirely dependent on my personal resources while studying here . I have secured a little work in one of the tea rooms here and I have been putting in two or three hours everyday in the work and I do enjoy in it. I believe that it is the difficult loads that make for manhood and in bearing than we grow to the full stature of our manhood. To all my senses American people is hard-working people and that alone has been impressing me more and more.&#13;
&#13;
With every good wish, I am. &#13;
Respectfully yours,</text>

Mr. Wellington Chu&#13;
69 Pembroke Street,&#13;
Boston, Mass. &#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr. Chu:&#13;
&#13;
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&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely yours&#13;

Dear Doctor Stearns:&#13;
&#13;
I trust you will pardon my delay in answering your letter of December 2nd, relative to returning part of the money advanced by Messrs Chu and Fang for room, board and tuition. Mr. Zhu, I am informed, is at the Urbana (Illinois) High School. It seems that he is at work there.&#13;
&#13;
As much as I should like to do so I confess I am unable to advise you as to the proper disposition of the money.&#13;
&#13;
With the kindest regards,&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours,&#13;
