Mr. Y.Y. Chan&#13;
Troy, N.Y.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Chan:-&#13;
&#13;
It was a real pleasure to receive your letter this morning, and to learn of your continued interest in and loyalty to the school. We miss greatly the boys who went from us last year, and though newcomers are always welcome and always bring with them a large number who prove attractive, the old places and faces can never be fully replaced. In view of the fine record which you Chinese boys have made here and the uniform courtesy and good manners you have always displayed, it is not strange that I, as well as others, am interested in you. I hope we may always have a good delegation of Chinese in the school.&#13;
&#13;
I am sending Mr. Thebaud a catalogue, as requested, and am writing him expressing my willingness to send him any further or more detailed information he may desire. Thanking you for the interest you have taken in the same, and wishing you all [illegible] and happiness in the days before you, believe me, with kind regards.&#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours,&#13;
&#13;
Principal&#13;

                <text>Typed letter sent from Alfred E. Stearns to Joseph Thebaud.  Describes past Chinese students at the Academy.  Explains some have done well and almost all are courtous and gentlemanly.  Noticed a growing trend to extravagences.  Believes there are too many attending this year, allowing them to forgo English studies and communicate entirely in Chinese.  Does not wish to increase the number of students, an idea the Chinese minister supports.  Suggests Dummer Academy as another good school choice.  Will ask Dr. Ingham to send a catalogue to Thebaud.</text>

&#13;
Mr. Joseph Thebaud&#13;
Seattle, Wash.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Sir:-&#13;
&#13;
I have read with interest your letter of the 17th inst. received yesterday. I shall be glad to offer you such advice and help as I can, though I question how far my opinions may prove of value to you. &#13;
&#13;
For the past three or four years we have had from six to ten Chinese students here each year. Consequently I have become somewhat familiar with their ways and their behavior under our American school conditions. Some of these boys have done exceptionally well. Almost without exception they have proved themselves unusually courteous and gentlemanly in their relations with us, and in the main have studied faithfully. I have noted, however, a growing tendency to extravagances, especially in the matter of clothes, and this tendency has disturbed me a good deal. I am inclined to think, too, that this year at least there have been too many of these boys here for their own good. They have found it too easy to get together and make use of their own language to the detriment of their English, and on the whole they seem to have been not quite so earnest and studious this year. I should not like to increase the size of the delegation now in Andover, and hence I do not feel justified in recommending this school for your friends just now. &#13;
&#13;
I know the recent Chinese minister, whom I know intimately, and who was himself formerly a student in this school, felt very strongly that it was unwise to get too many of these boys together in one place. &#13;
&#13;
[sentences illegible] &#13;
&#13;
Trusting that you will feel free  to advise me if I can be of farther service to you in this matter, believe me. &#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours, &#13;
&#13;
&#13;

My dear Sir:-&#13;
&#13;
At the request of Mr. Y.Y. Chan, one of our last year's students, I am mailing you a copy of the catalogue of Phillips Academy, from which you will be able to secure full information about the school. I shall be pleased to hear from you in case I can in any way supplement the information contained in the catalogue or enlighten you as to the nature of the school and the conditions which prevail here. &#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours,&#13;
&#13;
Principal&#13;

&#13;
My dear Mr.Wou:&#13;
&#13;
Thanks for your good letter. I cannot answer it fully now owing to the pressure of work on hand. In answer to your inquiries, however, let me say that we will grand you all the time necessary to meet your financial obligations to the school. I am asking our Treasurer to charge in your $10.00 as requested. &#13;
&#13;
The Chinese boys still here are Kwan, Luk and Chu, and one addition boy from California, Owyang. &#13;
&#13;
Wishing you every success in your work at the University of Maine, and trusting to hear from you, if not to see you from time to time, believe me. &#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours. &#13;
Principal. &#13;
