Young 112 Milton Avenue Dorchester Center, Mass. My dear Miss Young: I have your letter of the [date illegible] and under separate cover am mailing you a copy of our catalogue. While our courses are arranged primarily to meet the admission requirements of the leading colleges and universities, we have had a number of boys from time to time who have gone to agricultural schools. These boys as a rule have not found it necessary to complete our entire course. The most recent and conspicuous instance of a boy pursuing this course is that of Mr. Jen, one of our Chinese students, who is engaged to the daughter of the recent Chinese Ambassador to this country, Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, and who went directly from this school to the Massachusetts Agricultural College at Amherst where he has made an exceptionally good record. I do not know of the exact requirements of the Iowa State Agriculture College, but I imagine they are not much different from those of the Massachusetts College. If I can be of further assistance to you, kindly advise me. Very truly yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Ethel S.

My dear Li: On my return to Andover this week I find your letter of the 3rd ins. I have told Mr. Sawyer of the number of students you expect to have at the Conference, and we shall make preparations for at least a hundred. I do not feel sure that we can see the cottages mentioned by you, since none of these are furnished, and it would be rather difficult to move all of the furniture required. We will have good accommodations, however, and I think your companions will all be satisfied. Regarding the girls who are to come, may I ask if any arrangements will be made by them or by your for a chaperone? If not, we can probably arrange to have come one of our married instructors and his wife take charge of the house where the girls are to be located. We shall be glad to know, however, what is expected. I am glad to hear that you have been so successful with your summer work. Don’t overwork this summer so as to be too tired out when school again begins. Earlier in the summer I forwarded to you, in care of Mr.Fearing at Amherst, some mail which came here. I did not know your address, and thought that perhaps Mr. Fearing might. If you have not received the mail, please write to Mr. Fearing for it.

I hope the settlement at this time has not inconvenienced you. I am delighted to hear of the successful outcome of your first term at Lafayette. That is the kind of record that we like to see all you Chinese boys make, for it will mean much to you in later life, and through you, more than you can perhaps realize to your country and the world. The opportunities which will lie before you when you return to China will be tremendous, and your people must look to you educated boys for the leadership which China is going to need in the next few of years of history. Keep up the good work while the chance is still yours, for you will never have occasion to neglect it in later years. I appreciate very much your own and your father’s kindness is remembering Mrs. Stearns and myself at this time. I trust, however, that you will both realize that whatever I have done or can do for you while you are in this country is a privilege, and should never be thought to place you under any obligations.

As I have already written you, the receipt of that message prompted me to readjust Mary’s schedule completely at a place and in a small school about fifteen miles from here, where she would secure for the balance of the year intensive and individual work in preparation for college entrance examinations. Apparently Mary is much happier there now than she was when the change was first made, for it was sudden and unexpected and aroused a storm of protest from her Abbot Academy friends; indeed their misguided but well meant sympathy and enthusiasm kept Mary pretty badly stirred up for some time and have made it increasingly difficult for her to settle down in the new environment. Frankly, I am still very gravely in doubt as to whether we did the wisest thing in changing Mary’s school and course so suddenly and at this particular time of year. My own inclination would have been to allow her to finish out the current school year at Abbot Academy, secure her diploma for the general course, a goal for which she had been aiming, and then settle down to the intensive college preparatory work, if that was to be the new aim. On the other hand, that meant naturally the consuming of some additional months in work which was not leading to the goal finally chosen and which, therefore, might seem to you, in large measure, thrown away. Again the change in midyear also involved extra expense, since pupils in boarding schools are regularly held for the full year’s charge, unless their places can be filled by new-comers. At this late season the chance of securing new pupils to finish out the school year are very slight. Having all these things in mind to puzzle me, I finally decided that the only thing I could do after receiving your definite message, which I knew was sent after you had read my earlier letter in which I had tried to outline the complications involved, was to make the change at once and this was done. I must admit, however, that my pause of mind has not increased as a result, for Mary and many of her friends, at least, feel that I have acted both unwisely and harshly, something which at best my conscience sought not to do. All I can do now is to watch the situation as closely as possible and, on the basis of the results secured during the balance of the current school year, figure out the wisest plane for the future. Wellesley is an excellent college, and if it is your preference that Mary should go there, we will have that college in view. The entrance requirements are high and similar to those of Smith, Mount Holyoke, and Vassar. Whether Mary is capable of meeting these high requirements, I am not quite sure. Her Abbot Academy teachers and Miss Clemons are agreed in feeling that Mary will not find this an easy task and that it is a serious question whether she ought to be pushed to accomplish it. Their feeling is, and I am almost inclined to share it, that Mary would do much better in same smaller and less exacting college, of which there are a number in this country and which still rank high in the public estimation. Here again we can perhaps reach a fairer decision when we have before us the final record of the current school year, and especially that which the new conditions will accomplish. I have accepted Dr. Alfred Sze’s invitation to Mary to pass the coming spring vacation with him and his wife in Washington. I have also written him very frankly of the difficult problem we have had to face in Mary’s case during recent weeks and the complications that were necessarily involved. I hope that  Dr. and Mrs.Sze will be able to convince Mary that our decision is all for the best and should be accepted in a spirit of hearty cooperation. Just a word as to Tom. The more I have thought over his case and the more I have talked with him, as well as with Arthur and Charlie, the more I am inclined to feel that Tom ought to go to some small but high grade college after he leaves us. While I would be disposed to favor the business course in his case, I know of no good business college that is not located in one of our large cities that does not have rather loose supervision of its pupils. Tom is not stable enough, in my judgment, to profit by such conditions, and for that reason, primarily, I am disposed to favor a small country college - such a college, for example, as Middlebury College in Vermont or Hamilton College in New York, or perhaps a somewhat larger one like Amherst or Wesleyan. If Tom makes a creditable record, a business course later would be all the more valuable to him, while, on the other hand, the college work itself might turn his interest in a wholly new and unexpected direction. Trusting that your country may soon shake itself loose from the militarists who have been causing it so mush injury and distress and with assurance of my high regard and esteem, believe me Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

Your son's case has interested me deeply, but I felt for some time unable to know how to act intelligently. I did not wish to encourage the boy to pursue a course apparently at variance with Dr. Tenney's wishes, consequently I communicated with my friend, Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, the Chinese minister to this country advised me that I was probably right in refusing the boy permission to enter here until I had received instructions from you. Some weeks ago I received your cabled message, and on the same day a note from Dr. Tenney advising me that he, too, had heard from you, and that the boy was to be allowed to enter Phillips Academy. He entered at once, and has since been hard at work with us I trust that his record hero may prove in every way satisfactory to you. The Chinese boys who are with us at this time, as well as those who have been here in recent years, have proved an unusually fine, scholarly group of boys. We could ask for no more satisfactory members of our school community. Very truly yours.   Chan Kwang Li Dr. Alfred E.

Your teachers are all agreed that this is in a large measure at least the results of lack of efforts on your part. I hate to believe this, and yet I would dislike as much to believe that your ability was to be assumed by this long row of failure. Under the circumstances, it has been decided that your return next year must be in the nature of probation, and that unless you are able and willing to maintain a more satisfactory standing, it will be necessary to ask you withdraw. My interest in the Chinese students as a whole and in your personally leads to me urge you most earnestly to make good those deficiencies, and to maintain from the outset next fall a standing which can cause no further anxiety to your instructors or your friends. It would be little less than a crime if a boy for whom so many sacrifices have been made in order to give him the advantages of an American education should so far forget the responsibilities of his position as to drift into careless habits of work, and to thwart the purpose for which he was sent to this country.
