Tu, January 27, 1931 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Dr.Alfred E. Stearns to Hon. H.K. Tu, January 27, 1931 Description An account of the resource Typed letter sent from Dr. Alfred E. Stearns to Admiral H.K. Tu about K.Y. Tu's academic progress and situation. States he had to write the dean of Burdett Business College in order to get an accurate report of K.Y. Tu's progress. States that while K.Y. Tu has improved a small bit, his spirit is down and lacks ambition or purpose. Explains Tu had difficulty concentrating or developing study habits. Promises to keep encouraging K.Y. Tu. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Dr.Alfred E.

To my deep retret, I cannot report over-favorably on your boy’s work and progress in the business school with which he has been associated this coming year. He himself isn’t apt to give me any clear inkling of just how he is getting along. Consequently I wrote to the Dean of the Burdett Business College and received a long and carefully written reply, indicating on the Dean’s part a very careful investigation of Kong's situation and accomplishment. While it is true that your son seems to have been accomplishing something probably more than he did in his last school, the Dean tells me that his spirit has not been of the best and that he hasn’t shown the right kind of ambition or purpose. Indeed, at times the officers of the school have apparently been a good bit discouraged. They have promised, however, to get into more intimate touch with the boy and bring all the pressure they can to bear upon him to force him to take better advantage of the opportunities they are offering so that when he does return to China at the end of the year, as I assume he will, he will at least be better prepared to associate himself with some business concern or bank and be qualified to do the work demanded of him. I shall continue to write Kong and urge him to do his best for your sake and for his own. When the opportunity offers, I shall be glad to renew my pleadings with him face to face. My own feeling Is that while the boy may and probably does at times have sincere desires to do a higher grade of work, he has for so long drifted in his intellectual interests that he finds it extremely difficult to concentrate hie mind on the work before him or to develop habits of study which should have come years ago. Anyway you may be sure that I will never lose my interest in the boy, and that my desire to aid him in every possible way has not been and will not be lessened. With the compliments of the season and every best wish to you and yours for the days ahead, believe me, with warm personal regards Very sincerely yours Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.Y.

This really is the first encouraging report that has reached me for many months, and I am daring to hope that the recorded change is of a permanent nature and that we are really going to hear good things of you and your progress from now on. I have taken the liberty of writing your father and telling him of the general character of the report in question and how pleased I am with it. Please don’t disappoint me again.

Stearns, Headmaster Phillips Academy Andover, Mass. Dear Dr. Stearns: The month in which the experiment with Mr. Tu was to have been made has now passed, and we think you will be interested in the report of what has occurred. We are somewhat encouraged. The method devised seems to have brought some result. Mr. Tu has worked in accordance with the regulations devised, and though he found it difficult at first, he adapted himself quite readily as time went on. At first it was my inclination to give you a resume of the report submitted by his Department Head - who has Mr. Tu in direct charge - but I believe it would be more to the point if I sent you an actual copy of the report itself. This is enclosed, and from it you will notice how very detailed has been the supervision to which Mr. Tu has been subjected during this probationary month. I have discussed this report with Mr. Tu and have told him that it is being forwarded to you. It is my belief that he is somewhat impressed by his own progress, and if the system is continued, there is likelihood that it might bring the result which is desired. At least, we believe it to be promising enough to warrant a continuance, and we shall proceed in accordance with the same schedule unless you deem it wise that we change.

I think we can feel a bit encouraged. Mr. Tu has stuck to the job, but it requires constant pressure. This week he has asked that we alter our schedule somewhat. It appears that he feels he needs an hour in the afternoon for relaxation. He has further promised that if we will excuse him for the hour in which he has been doing his arithmetic home work, he will faithfully devote an evening hour to that subject. We have taken him at his word and will put him on trial for one week to see whether or not we can make the change in the requirements without sacrificing anything in the way of accomplishment If we can hold him to the program, I feel that something can be accomplished in his behalf. I believe, too, that he has begun to see something of value in the plan, although it is hard for him to hold himself to a given task, especially when the presence of errors makes it necessary that he go back over the work he has done in an endeavor to locate the error. His instructors continue enthusiastic in the experiment, and unless you have some suggestion, we shall keep on as we have started. Sincerely yours, H.B.Wells Dr. Alfred E. Stearns H.B.

If the boy is making even some progress, slight though it may be, it is good and a bit unusual news. Frankly, I had about given him up as a hopeless proposition some time ago and tried as gently and tactfully as I could to make the father see the situation from my viewpoint. Consequently, I am delighted with any evidence of a change of heart on Tu’s part. I congratulate you on what you seem to have accomplished to date, and trust that your patience may not be exhausted too speedily and that the boy himself may come to appreciate what you have done and attempted to do in his behalf. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns H.B. Wells K.Y. Tu
