E. Stearns, Lsq, Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, U.S.A My dear Mr. Stearns, I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 26th July, and Mr Greenwood’ s acknowledgment of my cheque, for which I am ever thankful. In forwarding you, again a cheque for $600 through the usual channel, please acknowledge on receipt. I am desirous to be informed, when my boy will be able to graduate from the present preparatory school, and I would further trouble you to kindly check his progress in his studies and write me, so that I my know how he is getting along. By his home letters, in English, I have no objections to the simplicity, but there were grammatical inaccuracies, which he should have been more careful. While I have every confidence in you, however, I am much afraid that he might go with bad companies and get into bad habits, which are common among boys of his age, therefore I earnestly request you to use your best means to keep him away from them, and would like to hear from you in the matter. Assuring you my appreciations for all your kindness and with my best wishes from Yours very truly, Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

The check has been deposited to your boy’s account as requested. It is very difficult for me to know just how your boy is getting along or how he is investing his time in view of his present location in Boston. When he was here, I could follow his work and ways pretty closely. Since he left, it is difficult to do so, though I have every reason to believe from his letters that he is doing his best to make progress in his studies and to live a straightforward and proper life. I have serious doubts, however, whether he will make sufficient progress in his school work to justify the expense and sacrifice which you are making to keep him in this country. This I have already intimated to you before, so I am mentioning no new opinion. In my judgement the boy made too late a start in his education in this country to secure very satisfactory results. I am writing to the principal of the school where he now is and am asking him to send me as full a report as he is able, and shall be glad to transmit the same to you on its receipt. With kindest personal regards, believe me always, Very sincerely yours. Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

E. Stearns, Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass. Dear Dr. Stearns: I have received your letter asking for a report on the work which K. Y. Tu is doing. He is getting along fairly well, but not sufficiently well to enable us to consider him at present college material. His grades average about a "C". I believe he is capable of doing better work than he is now producing, but his chief interest is apparently not in his studies but in athletics. I think possibly a letter from you to this young man might help considerably. He is taking only four subjects with us, namely: English III, Algebra II, French I, and Ancient History. If he is college material, he should be doing "B" work in all of them. We would not expect to be able to get him ready for college entrance in less than two years, and quite likely a longer period than that would be needed. Sincerely yours, C.H. Sampson Dr. Alfred E.

H. Sampson The Huntington School 320 Huntington Avenue Boston, Massachusetts My dear Mr. Sampson: Thank you for your letter about K. Y. Tu. I am not surprised that the boy is not making pronounced progress with you, and indeed I am more than a little surprised that he has done as well as your letter would seem to indicate. Frankly, I have been trying to persuade Tu and his father also for several years that the money invested in the boy’s education in this country is being practically thrown away. He tried to do something for Tu here at Phillips Academy and gave it up as a bad job. At the boy's earnest request, I allowed him to try the local high school, but the authorities there throw up their hands in despair after they had worked with him for some time, and he was consequently forced to sever that connection. I strongly urged his father to take him home, but the boy himself looks on this possibility as having in it the elements of a real calamity and has been able to persuade his father to allow him to stay In this country and try other schools. Personally, I can’t believe that the boy will ever prove himself to be college material. For one thing, he is already too old to plan an investment of additional time that a college education would require. I shall appreciate greatly your having your dean or registrar, or whoever has charge of the matter, send me at an early date a complete statement of the boy’s standing with you, which I shall in turn forward to Mr. Tu Sr. Very sincerely yours, C.H.
