My Dear Tu: On my return to Andover I find your letter of July 18 with accompanying receipts. Thanks for both. I am sending you the extra case for the month, as requested, but can’t understand why $90.00 should not prove ample for your board and lodging. $90.00 per month is the full allowance which the Chinese boys at Tech have received from me and one of them, Frank Lin, has been getting along on $60.00 per month only. This has been during the college year, too, when expenses are naturally heavier than they are in summer. $50.00 a month for board is absurdly excessive, and you ought to do far better than that. I am sending the cash under protest, therefore, and with expectation that for the month of August you will find a way to keep the expenses much lower. Yours sincerely yours Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

Sports and studies should go together, for if you have the physics of a titan and are empty in your head you would not cut any figure in this struggling world of keen competition; on the other hand, if you have become a great scholar and acquired the bulk of human knowledge but are poor in health and cannot stand the strain and stress of modern society, you would not go very far in your life career. I therefore share your enthusiasm for sports, but I hope you will not neglect your studies. Another thing which I want to impress upon your mind is that you should learn to be economical, As you know, I am not a wealthy man, as China goes through this terrible crisis and the civil strife which is distressing her may be a prolonged one, it is wise for all of us to be thrifty. In your school you should therefore learn not to waste money and make good use of it. I have noticed some improvement in your English, but you should endeavor to learn to write simple but grammatically correct English, In closing, I want to thank you for the report card of your last quarter's studies and also a photograph of yourself in frame, please let me hear from you again. With love, Your loving father, Admiral H.K. Tu K.Y.

Y. Tu and the letter indicates that recently he has been taking greater interest in his studies owing to his desire to participate in athletic activities and the wise regulation of the school requiring the students to maintain a comparatively high scholarship before they would be allowed to do so. This is an encouraging news and I must thank you sincerely for your continuous and successful efforts to make him a good student. I shall be obliged if you will kindly drop me a few lines when you are not very busy as to the time still required to complete his high school courses. My idea is to let him learn to be a dentist as soon as he has graduated from high school. Would it be advisable for him to study dentistry in a school or learn it in an office even before he has finished his high school courses? 1 believe that dentistry is one of the independent vocations and I like my son to acquire a profession which does not require much capital and can be practiced in any place and any circumstances. Again I want to thank you for the great and sustaining interest you have taken in my boy and I am sure he will also feel grateful to you for what you have been doing for him in his mature age when he goes out to the world to labor for a living. I herewith enclose copy of a letter of mine to my boy which may interest you. Yours sincerely. Mr. Alfred Z. Stearns, Philip’s Academy, Andover, Mass. U. 3. A. Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E.

H., August 12, 1927. Mr. H. R. Tu, C/O Hr. H. L. Tong, Chille River Commission, Tientsin, China. My dear Hr. Tu; I am very grateful for your letter of July 15, and for the copy of your letter to your boy. The sentiment you have express in the letter meets my full approval. I can only hope that your boy will take to heart and profit by it, such sane and wholesome advice. It is difficult for me to say just what further preparations your son will require to enable him to take up the definite study of dentistry. The Harvard Dental School, probably the best in the country, now requires a college degree from the students who enter it. This would mean, of course, a much longer period of preparation, and I doubt whether you would wish your boy to consider it. There are excellent dental schools which require much less for admission, but just how much I do not know, for it is unusual for our boys to enter that profession, at least, until they have secured their college degrees. On my return to Andover next month, I shall look into the matter and may be able to advise you more fully. In the meantime, your boy is to take up work with us at Phillips Academy this fall and I shall be, therefore, much better able to learn at first hand of his abilities and possibilities for the future. He has needed a pretty thorough grounding in more elementary subjects than we teach at Phillips Academy. That is why I have been willing to allow him to take the work elsewhere up to this time. I am still a bit doubtful as to his ability to carry the higher work that will be required of him at Andover, but we will give him a chance and reserve final judgment until later. I cannot feel that he has made the best use of his time to date, and have told him that it seemed to me that he ought to be progressing more rapidly. This last year I have come to feel that he has developed more ambitions and has worked harder. If this impression is correct his progress from now on ought to be much more marked. I can assure you that I shall do every thing in my power to urge him to make the best possible out of the opportunity you have given him, and which comes only once in a boys lifetime. With kindest personal regards, believe me. Very sincerely yours, Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E.

The reports emphasize the very mediocre quality of your son’s performance and raise seriously the question as to his ability or willingness to meet the scholarship requirements which will be demanded of him here at Andover. He has been very insistent that he should be allowed to undertake our work, and I am willing to grant him the opportunity, though I must admit with serious misgivings as to the outcome. I am still unable to determine in my own mind whether the difficulty is due to lack of ability or the boy’s part or lack of serious purpose. Both the factors probably enter into the situation, though I am inclined to think that the latter plays the more important part. Once your son has shown us what is able and willing to do, I can form a better opinion as to the real difficulty and can in convenience, perhaps, plan more wisely for his future. On the basis of his work to date, however, I can’t help questioning seriously the wisdom of continuing indefinitely the experiment of an American education. Very sincerely yours. Admiral H.K.
