Dr. A. E. Stearns&#13;
Phillips Andover Academy&#13;
Andover, Mass.&#13;
&#13;
Dear Dr. Stearns:&#13;
&#13;
Mr. K. Y. Tu has applied for a room in our dormitory and referred us to you for information concerning himself.&#13;
&#13;
We believe you will appreciate that our ideal is not merely to provide lodging house or hotel accommodations, but to have a wholesome, friendly, Christian atmosphere in which men will find good fellowship and stimulating activities.&#13;
&#13;
We desire to admit young men whom we can help and who can help us, by entering keenly into the life of the Association.&#13;
If the questions on the other side of this letter will assist you kindly use them.&#13;
&#13;
Thanking you and anticipating an early reply,&#13;
I am&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely yours&#13;
E.Bourgeois &#13;
&#13;
1.	How long have you known the applicant?&#13;
2.	Do you know him to be a Christian?&#13;
3.	What social or religious service has he rendered?&#13;
4.	How can we best help him?&#13;
5. Remarks&#13;
&#13;

Mr. E.Bourgeois	&#13;
Boston Y.M.C.A.&#13;
316 Huntington Ave.&#13;
Boston 17, Mass.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr. Bourgeois: &#13;
&#13;
Mr. K.Y. Tu, of whom you inquire, is a ward of mine and has been for the past two years at the Genesee Wesleyan Seminary, Lima, N.Y. So far as I know, he is a boy of good habits and character, though he has found it a bit difficult to adapt himself to American ways and methods of study. He is hoping to enter Phillips Academy next fall, though I am not quite sure that he is prepared for our work.&#13;
&#13;
I hope very much that you can find a place in your dormitory for Mr. Tu during the summer months, for otherwise I should not care to have him stay in Boston. His present plan is to take course in the Huntington Summer School, and I have no reason to believe that you will not find him in every way an acceptable member of your dormitory group.&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours.&#13;
