L. Stearns, Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass.,U.S.A. My dear Dr. Stearns; Your kind letter dated September 13th has just reached me and I am very grateful to your frank statement regarding my son who is evidently not behaving as a good student nor is he fulfilling the duty that he is expected to perform. I am sorry that his ill and sometimes stubborn behaviour has troubled you more than the other boys, and regret very much to learn that your painstaking advice to him has not produced the desired result. I appreciate ever so much the special effort you have made to bring him to reason and in urging him to realize his own responsibilities about his future. In view of his prolonged negligence please kindly inform my son that this is absolutely the last trial that I am giving him to make good. Unless he changes all his undesirable behaviours and devotes himself to conscientious study he will certainly be recalled. Please also tell my son that because of his misbehaviour I have not remitted any money and that you can advance to him on my account only the necessary expenses for his tuition, up-keep and no more. Perhaps that is the only way to compel1 him to live within limits. At the same time I am writing to him a severe letter in the same sense. You have mentioned about his delinquencies. I shall be much obliged if you will be frank enough to let me have some of the details or copies of such reports which must have reached you. I hope, however that you will still continue your good effort to convince him the necessity of obeying all the regulations, keeping up the required standard of study and lastly of living within limits of his allowance. Not long ago I have given up,the duty of acting premiership. I feel more at ease in devoting my time to the Navy. The trouble in the Yang-Tze valley remains unsolved and it may take some time before it could be properly cleared up as new complications are setting in from time to time. By the time when I write to you again I hope there will be better news about the general conditions of my country. Thanking you again for all the trouble you are taking on account of my boy. With the best wishes of the Season. Yours very sincerely, Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

Stearns, Philips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, U. S. A. My dear Dr. Stearns, I have received your letters of February 14th and 20th respectively for which please accept my hearty thanks. I have also received from Kong a letter dated February 14th Both your letters and his indicate that it would require a strict order from me to get Kong back to China. Since he is determined to earn an education by his own efforts rather than at my expense and since you have advised me to allow him another chance, I consider it wise to comply with his wish and let him pursue his studies in his own way for a time. It appears that he is more in earnest than before about the preparation for his life work and he would study harder from now on. If I view the matter in this light, I am somewhat encouraged. But I hope that you will continue taking an interest in the boy. If he can get along without my assistance, well and good. It is just as well for Kong to learn some hard realities of life while he is still under the care of his father and of your good self as his guardian. But if you think that his earning the way through high school would retard his educational progress or would injure his health, you may give him whatever amount of money you deem necessary. I leave the welfare of the boy entirely in your hands, for I have the greatest confidence in your sound judgement. Upon your advice I am writing to the boy today by the same mail and giving him a few words of encouragement. I herewith enclose copy of my letter to him for your information. Although Kong was brought up under Chinese roof and accustomed to discipline and obedience, I believe that his stay in the United States of America where there is more freedom for boys of his age than in China, has somewhat modified his views, and believing it, am trying to adapt myself to the new situation, I hope that my letter to him written in a new spirit may move him to exert even greater efforts for learning. I want to thank you for what you have done for the boy in the past and for what you may do for him in the future. As he is now away from Andover and staying at Boston, he will need more vigilance or watchfulness from you. What I am afraid most is the possibility of his associating with bad people and such fear did not exist in my mind when he was near you, I hope that I shall still have the honor to hear from you from time to time as to the progress of his studies and as to the kind of friends he makes. Thanking you again for all you have been doing for us. Yours very truly. Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

I am very glad that you are so determined to complete your high school course. Dr. Stearns has written to me to the same effect. Your appreciation of my efforts to give you a high education highly pleases me. As long as you study hard and make steady progress, you would not constitute a burden to me, for in that case there is always a hope that some day you will complete your school education and become a respectable citizen of the Republic of China, of whom both myself and our relatives would feel proud. Should you fail to make progress in your studies, it is natural that I should worry about your present and especially about your future, for I cannot continue helping you throughout your whole life much as I desire. In your letter you promised that you would be a worthy son. I am very glad to hear of it. I hope you will live up to my high expectation of you. To my mind there is nothing more worthy for a Chinese boy in America to do than to conduct himself properly and as a gentleman, to refrain from doing anything which will be a disgrace to his parents and his own country, and above all, to study really hard. While being away from Dr. Stearns, I hope you will not associate yourself with persons of questionable character. If the progress in your studies is slow, it may be due to your dullness and you are excusable to certain extent, but in addition, if you should be known not only as a poor student but also a bad student, then a great wrong would be wrought by you upon your family and your country.  Today China needs able young men, but the men with character are even in greater demand. I hope that while studying as hard as you can you will try to develop your character and become an honest, upright and patriotic man so that upon your return to China you will be able to render full measure of service to the country. So far as the service of a national character is concerned, a dentist can do just as much as a soldier or a high official man. I am very glad that you have taken my idea of having you to be a dentist thoroughly into your head and wish you every success. Before you can learn the profession which I wish you to learn and for which I believe you are suitable, you will however have to finish high school at least. So, in the meantime, confine your attention to the diligent study of all subjects required for graduation from the high school. If you find It difficult to make speedy progress while working and studying at the same time or that your health lo being impaired, then you can apply to Dr.Stearns for financial assistance. I am going to Shanghai in the near future for a short visit. Should I find it cheaper to live there, I would remove my family from Tientsin to Shanghai. With the coming of the Spring, I hope you will take good care of your health. A good health is an essential factor in the success of any person. With love. Your loving father, Admiral H.K. Tu K.Y.

My dear Sir, Some time ago when I had the good fortune of meeting you down in New Haven, I spoke to you about the probability of my younger brother coming over to study this year, and that if he should come, it is my wish for him to enter Andover. I have just heard from home that he will sail soon for this country, and I am planing for him to go to your institution. I also take the liberty to request of you to be his guardian, the same arrangement as you had with my other brother, Sen Yen Yung, who was in Andover from about 1905 to 1908. Will you please forward me a catalogue and other necessary blanks incidental to his registration. I shall inform you later on as to the date that I shall call on you together with him.

I have had a talk with him and it seems that he did not thoroughly understand our rule regarding the number of unexcused absences which a student on Official Warning is allowed to take. He has taken several over the allowed number this term and, therefore, this action is necessary. He clearly understands that it will be impossible for him to take more than four more without making it necessary for him to leave the School and assures me that he will endeavor to make his attendance record more satisfactory. This Probation will naturally be removed at the end of sixty days if his scholarship record is satisfactory at that time.
