Mr. Alfred E. Stearns, Principal, Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts. Dear Sir: I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 10th instant regarding Miss Nary Brown’s bill for room rent against Z. C. Zia, in payment of which I enclose herewith a check for seven dollars and sixty-six cents ($7.66). I am glad that you have called my attention to this bill. The reason why I have not paid it is, that after the school closed last June I allowed all the Chinese students under my charge to look after their own expenses, and I took it for granted that Mr. Zia had settled all his bills before he left Andover. I hope you will call my attention to other bills, if there are any, which the Chinese students have left unpaid. I have just received a letter from Mr. Ta C. Lu saying that on last Thursday night there stolen from his room a fur overcoat, another overcoat and a new suit of clothes. On this account he asks for one hundred dollars ($100.00) so that he may be able to replace the stolen articles. I shall be greatly obliged if you will kindly inform me whether he is really in pressing want. Very truly yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Yung Kwai Z.C.

Stearns, Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass., U.S.A. My dear Mr. Stearns: The return of my son Sinley from America after a departure of three years has brought us a great happiness. To my greatest pleasure I find that he is in very good health and has improved in his intellect. Indeed, American education has done him good. I wish to thank you heartily for your guardianship and instructions which, I firmly believe, can not be excelled. He is coming back to America about two weeks from now and will be in New Haven at the end of next month. During this trip I am trying to make him study the conditions and developments of this country to help him to decide his future work. I must regret for not having mentioned to you the way I send my son allowances so long you have been his guardian. I have been sending remittances three or four times a year through the British- American Tobacco Company in Shanghai to the same office in New York and asking them to send to my son $200 at the end of every month. I find that their service has been satisfactory. My idea is to let my son have some knowledge of economics by learning to keep his own account, and in the past years he has proved himself capable to do so. We are satisfied with what he has done in America. It is our desire and hope that he will finish his college work in a still better way than he has done, and we have no doubt that you will constantly guide him and give him instructions to enable him to better understand the meaning of life. I am now heading the Industrial Development Bank of China having head office at Peking. The political prospect is brighter, and we all hope that the time may not be distant when China will be united under a strong government like the one you are enjoying in your country. Although I have never been in America, I have learned many a wonderful thing about her from friends and recently from my son. I hope to make a trip some day. I shall be very glad to hear from you. With best regards, I remain, Sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

Stearns for Fucheng Seetoo April 24, 1915 Relation A related resource To whom it may concern: Mr. Fucheng Seetoo was a student at Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, from September, 1906, to June, 1908. He left the school to enter the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he has since been pursuing with success his more advanced studies. Mr. Seetoo made an exceptionally fine record at Andover. Not only was his scholarship of a very high order, but he was faithful and dependable to an unusual degree. His habits were of the best, and his character clear and sound. I have every confidence in Mr. Seetoo and fully expect him to justify by his later career the high hopes which his American friends and instructors entertain for him. Principal.

Tong Chihli River Commission Tientsin, China My dear Mr. Tu On the receipt of your cablegram of November 22, which reads as follows, “Kong returns China Fund insufficient cable Commission,” I sent for Kong and we had a long and serious discussion of his problem. The boy is greatly distressed at the thought of giving up his studies in America and returning to the home land. He feels that to do this would be to admit defeat and that the step must necessarily prove humiliating and distressing to you. He has begged, and most earnestly, for a longer trial and under somewhat different conditions, and, after considering all of the circumstances involved, I have felt disposed to grant hie request, a decision which I sincerely hope will not prove unsatisfactory to you. The character and extent of the work at Phillips Academy are recognised to be of a more exacting order than that prevailing in the average American high school. Further, our high schools provide several courses, not all of them leading to college admission. Those which do not have the college as their goal are in the main considerably easier than the others. Since the dental schools, which admit students who have not secured college degrees, specify only that the applicant shall have had an equivalent of a high school course, it seems evident that Kong would be able to gain such admission through the medium of a high school course with much greater ease than would be possible if he were to continue his studies at Phillips Academy. Kong has, therefore, asked to be given a chance to try some such plan as this, for a time at least, and I have felt inclined to consent to his request. With this understanding, Kong recently consulted the principal of our local high school, who happens to be a good personal friend of mine, and I, myself, have talked with the principal so that the nature of the problem should be clearly understood by him. He has expressed his interest and will allow Kong to try out the wit in the high school,for the balance of the current term at least, or long enough to enable us all to form a proper opinion as to the chances of success* Under this arrangement Kong will live in a quiet and respectable boarding house in the town not far from the school where I feel sure he will be under good influences and where he should find it comparatively easy to study without serious interruption. I may even be able to get him more attractive quarters in some good home, provided it seems likely that the new plan is to work out in an acceptable way. Kong understands that a year or two hence he may even be required to earn his own way and without material help from home, but he seems ready, if not actually eager to face a hard handicap even of this kind, which testifies in my judgment to the sincerity of his purpose and the good spirit with which he undertakes the new schedule. Under these conditions I feel that it is only fair to give the boy this further chance, and I sincerely trust that you will approve. Of course if this plan, too, fails to work out satisfactorily, I shall assume that your cable message of November 22 gives me full authority to instruct the boy to give up his efforts here and return to China. With kindest personal regards, believe me Very sincerely yours Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

I am very much relieved, although not surprised, that you share so fully my feelings as to your son’s expenses and I shall continue to urge upon him in every nay in my power the importance, for his own sake as well as yours, of avoiding unnecessary outlays and living within reasonable limits. I don’t wish to cramp him in any way but I know from long experience that extravagance, when it becomes a habit with a boy, seems to act like a poison dimming his ideals, undermining his will, and cramping his ambitions for the highest and best things in life. I have already written the head of the school where the boy is now studying and have received his assurance that he will co-operate with me to the best of his ability in aiding your son to keep his expenses within proper limits.

Y. Tu Genesee Wesleyan Seminary Lima, N. Y. My dear Tu, I am sorry to have thrown you into such a panic by my delay in sending money to you, as requested, for vacation expenses. It is the old story, however, and really you are the only one to blame. I have constantly urged you boys to let me know well in advance what your needs are to be, for I can’t be counted on to be sitting right here on the job every minute prepared to send checks within an hour or with in a day of the receipt of the requests for the same. As a matter of fact, your recent request came when I was out of town, I had been in the West for a week, was away over the week-end following, and then had to make an unexpected trip to Washington, from which I returned on Friday, the day school closed. Our final faculty meeting consumed all that day, and I had no time whatever to tend to other matters. As soon as I could I sent you a check, but for $50,00, only, and not the $95.00 requested. The reason for the smaller amount is due to the fact that I do not feel that you have any right to take on this extra expense involved in the trip to Ann Arbor. This would mean practically $100.00 for the short vacation, an absurd sum considering the limited time involved; further, I checked over year accounts before I sent the money and found to my amusement that during the single year from January, 1925, to January, 1926, you had spent $2,927,00, an amount far in excess of that spent by any of my other Chinese wards, even though the Suns, at least, are supposed to have ample means to meet all necessary expenses. Your father urgently requested me to see that you kept your expenses within proper bounds, and if you are not willing to do your part, I must write your father to release me at once of the responsibility of attempting to guide your expenditures. I know that a vacation in a school or college town, when nearly everyone has gone away, is anything but attractive. Many boys, however, and especially those of limited means, have to face vacations of this kind. I had to myself occasionally, in my younger days, and I know that it is no deadly hardship. Certainly you could easily secure a room and board in Lima or nearby for a small sum and thereby save considerable money for necessary expenses later. I am surprised that this plan did not suggest itself to you at once as the proper one to adopt. Since I have noted the actual amount you have spent to date, I am more than over determined to try to carry out your father’s urgent request and see that you keep expenses within bounds. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.
