Dear Mr. Liang: Let me congratulate you most heartily for the splendid results you have obtained concerning the flood relief campaign in your locality. It is indeed encouraging to see the way you have responded to the call and can tell you that we are very proud of the Andover spirit. Your pledge of 91. dollars among six members places you at the top per capita among all the clubs that have reported so far. We hope that your splendid example will be copied by others. We have so far raised about five hundred dollars (not collected) and expect to arrive at the point of a thousand when we close up. Wishing you great success, I am, Very faithfully yours C.H.

The Eastern Section of the Alliance has just organized a special relief committee to undertake the task of raising funds to relieve the sufferers. As Chairman of the Eastern Section I wish to ask for the cooperation of your Club in furthering this cause. Will you at once start a campaign in your locality to raise as much as you can from (1) our students, (2) our businessmen in various pursuits and (3) our American friends. It is needless for me to say that the gravity of the situation requires immediate and whole-hearted support from every one of us. I have no doubt that your response will be both spontaneous and generous. It is most gratifying to know that one day’s campaign in Columbia University has already brought some two hundred dollars. Regarding the matter of organization, I leave it to your Club Executives or Club as a whole. Allow me, however, to suggest that with the Club Executives as the central organizing force, you arrange several groups of men or women to solicit contributions and pledges among our students, countrymen in business and American friends. To carry out the plan, every one must do his or her bit. Enclosed please find a list of facts concerning the flood and the needs which may be distributed for your campaign. For further information please refer to the Flood Relief Committee Secretary or myself. You are at liberty in using your best judgment to raise funds. The campaign will be closed by December 10th when all individual pledges must be made. The Treasurer of your Club, or any one duly appointed or elected by your Club to take charge of the money collected, shall turn over the funds raised to the Flood Relief Committee Treasurer, Mr. Poling Chang, Livinsston Hall, Columbia University, New York City, by December 11th or earlier. Please make all checks payable to Mr. Poling Chang. Kindly keep me informed of your plahwfor raising funds and your progress in the campaign. Wishing you great success, I am Faithfully yours Chairman, Eastern Section, C.S.A Facts about the flood. Over 120,000 square lis of territory in Chihli, Shantung and Honan provinces have been flooded, with Tientsin probably the worst sufferer. All crops in the flooded territory have been destroyed with no prospect for cultivation now for the crops in next spring. Several millions of people have no homes, property and food for the present, winter and next spring. The Chinese Government has given §300.000 Mex. for immediate relief. The American Red Cross Society has forwarded §120.000 gold to Peking for the same purpose. Different committees as well as individuals are giving as much as they can in China, particularly in Tientsin. Chinese students in Columbia have already raised over §200 in one day. In spite of the foregoing aids, the needs are great for the present and even greater in the cold winter and cropless spring. C.H. Wang Ting Kai Liang
