As you probably know, the present Chinese minister to this country has had a number of his Chinese boys with us during the past three years, and fine boys they have proved, too. One at least is to return this fall. Of course the boys he has had here had had before coming considerable elementary work, and were fairly well grounded in their English. Should you desire to place any of the boys here, it would be well to notify us as soon as possible, since our rooms are rapidly being taken, and I would naturally be desirous of placing such boys with more than the usual care.

I shall be glad to arrange for the boys as satisfactory accommodations as possible, though I am not sure that at this late date I can find both rooms and board in a house where other conditions are what I would most desire for them. The Chinese boys whom we have had here during the last three years have regularly boarded outside of the house in which they have roomed, as most of our boys are accustomed to do. Still I have in mind one place which may prove satisfactory, and I will take up the matter at once and advise you of the results later. I am enclosing two application blanks which I shall be pleased to have the boys fill out carefully and return to me at their early convenience. In the meantime, if you are able to come to Andover yourself I should be very glad to go over the situation with you carefully and I think we should be able to make arrangements that will prove satisfactory to all concerned. I expect to be here until Saturday noon, at least, and from the following Monday noon on through the week. Very sincerely yours, [signature] C. D. Tenney Dr. Alfred E.

I have encouraged Mr.Ungvary to carry out his plan to enter Phillps this fall. I understand that he would do so. I think he understands the conditions pretty thoroughly and ought to be able meet them. There is no question though but that he should not attempt the work unless he has some funds on which to draw at the outset. There are bound to be expenses when a boy begins his life here, and without some resources boys are sure to be swamped before they can become familiar enough with conditions to XX enough to meet the demands made upon their pocket books. Can you tell me how much Mr.Ungvary can count on at the start. If he proves able to meet our scholarship standards he will be given scholarship aid. I think too that I can provide him an opportunity to work his board if he proves efficient in that sort of work. On the inclosed scholarship application blank you will find a statement of the condition under which scholarships are granted, and you can doubtless tell from the date given there how likely your friend will be to meet the requirements. In one or two exceptional cases each year the first payment of $50 is waived. Naturally these exceptions are made in favor of the most promising and needy boys. I shall be glad to have your opinion as to the desirability of considering Mr. Ungvary on this basis. Awaitting your further reply, and with kind personal regards, believe me. Very truly yours.

Charles F. Macfarland, South Norwalk, Conn Dear Sir:- I have your letter of the 18th inst. I am very much interested in your Hungarian friend. We have a good many nationalities presented here already. One of the most interesting and promising boys we have is a young Italian who under circumstances very similar to those existing in the present instance was sent here by Dr Huntington of New York. This boy, too, is preparing for the ministry, and we believe that he will make good. I mention these cases simply that you may understand that while we are accustomed to hold pretty rigidly to our regular courses, we are at the same time willing to make necessary allowances and exceptions for foreigners. Consequently I think we can do as much for your friend. From the catalogue which I am sending you under separate cover you will be able to see what our general courses are. As most of our boys go to Yale, these courses are arranged to meet in full the Yale requirements. I see no reason why such a course cannot be satisfactorily arranged I do not understand from your letter whether it is your wish to have the boy enter here this year, or whether you wish him to wait until the opening of the next school year. If you will advise me on this point I shall be glad to offer were satisfactory suggestions You will be able to tell from the catalogue the amount of ground covered by our classes term by term as well as during the entire year. May I also suggest that you have your friend fill out carefully and return to me the application blank which will be found in the back of the catalogue The information called for on this blank will make it possible for me to handle the case more intelligently.

Mr.S.K.Tsai, Tientsin, China. Dear Mr. Tsai: It is with deepest regret that I am obliged to write you the decision of the faculty requesting Kuo Fong to withdraw from school at this time. In spite of our best efforts, and I and others have constantly labored with the boy,- we have not been able to get him to measure up to the Andover standards, either in achievement or effort. In the past he has been handicapped somewhat by illness, and we have made every reasonable allowance, and I am inclined to think, too great an allowance at times, for the necessary handicaps resulting. This year the boy’s health has been, on the whole, very good, but the results in his school work have been poorer than ever. It seems perfectly clear that, if he is to remain in this country for his further education, he should go to some smaller school where a closer and more exacting supervision is in vogue and where h3 can consequently be guided more closely in his work. I shall try to find such a school for him for next term, though it is my personal belief that the boy has secured from our American educational opportunities about all that he is likely to absorb with profit. Deeply as I dislike to say it, I am pretty thoroughly convinced that Kuo Fong should be called back to China at this time where his problem and needs can be studied at first hand by you and his brothers. Possibly it might be wise later to attempt again the American connection, but I doubt it. Please understand that the boy has always been gentlemanly and courteous in his relations to me. He has been full of promises, too, but the promises have not borne much fruit. I confess that I have reached the end of my resources in dealing with him, and I feel very deeply that the boy ought to have the parental touch at this particular crisis in his life. I am sure you will appreciate that only my deep interest in the boy himself and his future prompts me to write you in this vein. With kindest regards to yourself and the other members of your family circle, believe me always. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns S.K. Tsai
