Tenney Cambridge, Mass. My dear Mr. Tenney: I have your letter of recent date. The boy referred to has been here for some time, and has persistently urged that he be allowed to enter the school. From the conversations I have had both with him and with one of his friends I was led to infer that he was perhaps paying truant and I have consequently refused to allow him to become enrolled. I have told him that I could not do this without proper authorization from you or the Chinese minister. He has insisted that he was his own master in the matter, but I have maintained that if this were true it would be best proved by written endorsement from Sir Liang or yourself. At the same time I hardly felt that I had authority to order the boy out of town, and I have been in somewhat a quandry to know just what to do. I think he has been staying with one of the other Chinese boys here, though I am not quite sure as to that. I have asked our teachers not to admit him to classes. Very truly yours. C. D. Tenney C. L.

Tenney 86 Buckingham Street Cambridge, Mass. Dear Dr. Tenney: I have just received your letter of the 12th inst. This morning I also received a cable message apparently from Mr.Li’s father, advising me of his wish to have the boy enter Philips Academy. The boy himself appeared later and said that he would be prepared to begin his work here by the end of the current week. The final decision comes to me as a good deal of a surprise. Since my earlier correspondence with you I had seen or heard nothing of the boy and had made up my mind that he had not been able to secure his father’s consent as he had hoped, and that as a result he had returned to Amherst or had taken up his work somewhere else with your approval. I do not quite understand the reason for the delay, unless his father wished to hear from you as well as from the boy before making a definite decision. My fear is that the unsettled condition of the boy’s mind thus far this term will make it rather difficult for him to adjust himself to the work of our classes here, but I am hopeful that his natural ability may make it possible for him to overcome his handicap. If it is your wish I shall be glad to act as the boy’s guardian as you have suggested, though your experiences in handling the funds of various Chinese boys. And your knowledge of their tastes, would naturally render you a more satisfactory guardian of the funds than I could hope to be. I do wish, however, to shirk any responsibility in the matter, or to burden your unduly with the affairs of boys not directly in your charge. Please feel free therefore to follow your own best judgement in this matter. Very sincerely yours. Alfred E.Stearns Principal C. D. Tenney C. L. Li Dr. Alfred E.

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. May I trouble you also to give me once more definitely the dates on which to expect the members of your Conference to reach and to leave Andover. Very sincerely yours. Alfred E. Stearns. C. L.
