My dear Tsai: You are often in my thoughts, especially during those mid-winter months when my memory frequently takes me back to China and the happy days . I passed there several years ago. So much of the pleasure of that time was due to your own generous and friendly interest, as well as that of other old Andover boys of your time, that I am always mindful of my debt of gratitude, a debt which I fear that I shall never be able to fully repay. Only last night our good friend, Kwan, took dinner and passed the evening with me at my home; and in the course of our visit we talked over China and the old follows now over there, most of whom, I take it, are doing such work in various lines, How I would like to drop in on you all, and how I would relish a good Chinese meal such as I once enjoyed with you out on the river at Canton and in the more modern, luxurious apartments of the Hong Kong "Sherry’s”. If my life lasts long enough and opportunity offers, I mean some day to see your land again. Let us hope it will be before any of the old men have departed from this climate. This is just a brief note which I hope will reach you at about the New Year’s season, and will carry with it hearty and friendly greetings for that festive occasion and the days ahead. Success and good luck to you always! Most sincerely yours, [unsigned] Dr. Alfred E.

States Tsai is a popular student. Believes outside interests may be interfering a small bit with schoolwork. Details Tsai's current education standing.

Merrill, 78 Chauncy St., Boston, Mass. Dear Sir:- Allow me to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 12th inst. relating to the work and standing of K.P. Tsai I cannot speak over-enthusiastically about the boy’s scholarship. He seems to have good ability, but is not nearly so faithful and earnest in his work as was his brother who was with us several years age. Tsai is a most attractive fellow, however, and is probably the most popular among his mates of our Chinese students. He seems to adapt himself adapt ways and customs more readily and freely than most of his countrymen. Consequently, while he seems thoroughly to enjoy his school life, I question whether he is not allowing outside interests to interfere in a measure with the character of his school work. His house officer reports that the boy does not employ his time in his room always to the best advantage. Tsai, at the close of the past term, was reported as failing in his History, English, and Physics. That is certainly not an enviable record. He is at present a member of our Middle Scientific Class, and under normal conditions would naturally be expected to enter his chosen scientific school at the end of the current school year. At least most of the Chinese boys have gone from this class to their higher work without taking our senior year, for the scientific schools are disposed to make some concessions to these boys in the way of entrance requirements. It is important, however, that Tsai should complete the year without conditions if he is to enter a scientific school next fall with the prospect of maintaining a successful standing there. Our certificate is accepted by all of the colleges and scientific schools which make use of the certificate system for admission. There are several institutions, however, which require examinations in all cases, notably Yale, Harvard, Princeton, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Our Chinese boys in the main have chosen Cornell, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute at Troy,New York for their higher work. If anything new develops in this boy’s case in connection with our mid-term scholarship rating, reports of which will be received next week, I shall be glad to advise you. If, further, I can cooperate with you in way in advancing Mr. Tsai’s interests, I shall be very glad to do so. Very truly yours, [unsigned] Dr. Alfred E. Stearns K.P.Tsai M.F. Merill
