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.

As I have already answered them in good part in my letter of November 26, I have not much to add at this time. I found Kong heartbroken over the decision that he return to China and he pleaded with me so earnestly to be given a little longer chance to make good hear that I yielded and allowed him to transfer to the local high school in the hope that his work there, which is distinctly easier than the work in our own school, might prove within his reach and permit him to secure the high school diploma which would gain him admission to a higher institution for more special work. I talked the matter over with the principal of the high school who promised to follow the case carefully and keep me fully advised as to the boy’s progress and prospects. I know, too that several of the teachers in the school who are well known to me have gone out of their way to give Kong personal instruction and help. I have not yet received sufficient information from those who are working with the boy to enable me to determine definitely whether the experiment is likely to prove a success or not. Such incomplete records as have come to me thus far have not been very encouraging, I must admit. My fear and belief are that Kong is a bit too old to handle elementary work and retain permanently the values which he should derive from it. Of his spirit and effort of late, I can speak only in the highest terms. The boy is tremendously in earnest and distressed beyond words that he has not be able to make better progress thus far. I hope every earnestly that you will approve of the plane adopted, and I am assuming, in view of your cabled message, that once we are assured here that the desired end cannot be attained, the authority to send the boy back to China is still mine. Unless I hear from you to the contrary, I shall act on this understanding. As this is our Christmas holiday season, please accept the season’s greetings from me, and my heartiest good wishes for the coming New Year. Very sincerely yours. Admiral H.K. Tu Dr. Alfred E.

After careful consideration of the case of my son, K. Y. Tu, the best thing in the circumstances is for him to return to China and do some work so that in his daily contact with fellow beings in the business world he may find his education inadquate, and finding it inadequate, may have a greater desire for study. So I have sent you the following telegram "Alfred Stearns, Philips Academy, Andover , Massachusetts, Kong returns China fund insufficient cable Commission Tientsin Tu" In regard to the last sentence, I mean that if my boy does not have sufficient money with him to buy railway and steamer ship tickets, please cable to me as to the additional amount that is needed so that I can cable it to you. What you have done for my boy during the last four years has earned my everlasting gratitude. His failure to make progress in his studies has been entirely due to his own faults which include, I believe, his fondness of play and his lack of a serious purpose of life. I want to thank you again for your kindness in guarding and guiding him during his stay in the United States, and as I am sure you will continue taking an interest in him, I will write you from time to time as to his progress after his return to China.

K. Tu . C/o H.K.Tang Chihli River Commission Tientsin, China My dear Mr. Tu: I have recently received your interesting letter of September 21, which came at a time when I was on the point of writing yon frankly and fully in regard to your son and my great concern over his seeming failure to make satisfactory progress in his studies. The case has proved a very perplexing one for me, and developments are such that I feel that in justice to both you and the boy I must be very frank in what I have to say. In the first place, let me report that I have done my best to carry out your instructions in regard to a possible dental course for your boy. Bequests for information in regard to the admission requirements of the best dental colleges in this country brought out the fact that practically every dental school of the first rank now requires a college degree for admission. That in itself seems to be wholly cut of the reach of your boy. In answer to a personal letter of inquiry of mine to Dean of Tufts Dental School, one of the best in the country, wrote me that he knew of only two dental schools worthy of the name that would admit students on less preparation than the completion of a college course. One of them, which he designated as located in the South, he branded as hardly worthy of the name and one which he could not conscientiously recommend. The other was the Dental School of the University of California. I wrote at once to the University of California and asked for full information, receiving somewhat later their catalogue. From the catalogue it appears that admission is granted only to those who have completed a full high school course. To meet even this lower requirement your boy will have not less than three more years of hard work, assuming that he is able to pass in his studies and maintain a satisfactory standing In his classes. This to date he has not done, and from the reports of his instructors, which have just come to me, there seems little prospect that he can or will do so. I can’t decide clearly in my own mind just where the trouble lies. The boy made his first attempt with us and failed badly to meet the requirements of our lowest class. At my suggestion he tutored steadily for a time in English, chiefly, for I believed that his faulty knowledge of the English language was at the bottom of his trouble. Finding that he was still unable to do our work here in Andover, I accepted hie suggestion that he enter a smaller school and one of somewhat lower standards out in New York State, which he did. We remained there two years, as you know, and the reports which I received from time to time from that school varied somewhat in their character and increased my doubts as to just what the boy was accomplishing. At the end of the past year I felt that if he were ever to do our work and meet the scholastic requirements which Chinese boys who come to us regularly do meet, he must attempt work in a higher grade institution like our own. Consequently I allowed him to come back here again on trial. At the present time the boy is rated in our Lower Middle, or second year. Class where he is repeating a great deed of work already covered elsewhere. Even so, the first scholarship rating of the term indicates that he is far below grade in all of his studies and his instructors assure me that he seems utterly unable to meet their requirements and attain passing grades. Such being the situation, I can’t see any hope that the boy is going to be able to carry out your plan and gain admission to a dental school. Very probably his failure to do better in his work is due in part to his maturity, for he is much older than most of the boys who come to us and the older a boy gets, the more difficult he finds it to master elementary subjects. I have talked with Kong very frequently ahout the situation, but I think that he, too, is a bit discouraged. Personally I have never felt that he showed any serious ambition in his work, and I must always believe that he could have done somewhat better in his studies if he had really set himself earnestly to that task. On the other hand, it seems clear that his studies come hard to him at best and I don’t wish to appear to blame him unfairly for results which may not, after all, have been wholly his fault. As I look on the situation now, and basing my opinion on my experience with the scores of Chinese students with whom I have been privileged to have contacts in recent years, I have a strong conviction that your boy is not likely to gain very much by a further continuation of his American education. I hate to say this for it carries with it some indication of failure on my part to aid you in realising your ambition for your son. On the other hand, you, as the boy’s father , are entitled to an absolutely frank and unbiased statement on my part , and this I have attempted to give. I have thought of business schools as offering a possibility, but the best of them like the Harvard Business School*require college degrees for admission, and the next best one I can think of is the Wharton School of finances at the University of Pennsylvania, which requires the equivalent of a full high school course. Here again, we are up against the same obstacles, and they seem insurmountable. There are so-sailed business colleges of a still lower grade which give their students good courses in accounting, business practice, stenography and typewriting, etc., and that seems to be about the only thing left, if Kong is to remain in this country. Even so, these schools are almost all located in large cities and make no provision for the outside life and control of their students beyond the time they are actually in the class room. I should naturally hesitate very much to place a boy of my own in such an environment in a foreign land, and I must necessarily feel the same hesitancy in considering the welfare of your son. The boy himself is pretty well discouraged at present and hardly knows what he ought to do. I have told him that I would write you very frankly and fully and, to facilitate matters, would suggest in my letter that, after giving the problem careful consideration, you cable me instructions for the future. Kong evidently is unable to continue his work here at Phillips Academy. If he were an American boy, he would have been dropped from our list at this last scholarship rating, but X have persuaded the faculty to take no such action until I hear further from you. He could, of course, go off to some other smaller and more elementary school, but at his age such a course X am sure would be of no permanent value to him and might even do him definite harm. I am sure you will appreciate the spirit which prompts me to write what is not easy for me to write and what I know will be keenly disappointing to you. Knowing your deep interest in your boy and your ambition for his future, I am distressed beyond words not to be able to send you a more favorable report or paint a brighter picture of the future. On the other hand, we know from experience that it often happens that boys who are not cut out for scholars become eminently successful in other lines and often make as valuable contributions to the welfare of the world as od their more scholarly mates. The great problem now is to plan wisely for the boy’s immediate future, and I shall welcome full and frank instructions, preferably by cable, from you to govern my further actions.

I am afraid that the distances involved in connection with the dental colleges you have mentioned would prove prohibitive even if It seemed wise for other reasons to advise my Chinese friend to take a course in one of those dental schools, evidently the first thing for him to do in any case is to secure the full equivalent of a high school training. Very sincerely yours. Dean William Rice Dr. Alfred E. Stearns
