F.M.Pyke Mt. Rest Lithia, Mass. My dear Pyke: On my return to Andover from summer vacation I find your two letters of July 27th and August 12th respectively. Having dealt with Chinese students for the past fifteen or twenty years, I think I know pretty clearly what the parents of these boys desires, and I can assure you that thei cases will be given my most careful and earnest consideration. The wishes will be carried out to the fullest possible extent. I hope to be able to take care of two or three of the youngsters in my own family circle, but you may rest assured that the other members of the group will not be left to shift for themselves. They will receive as much as attention and thought would my own children. I am deep by sensible of the responsibility that rests upon me in view of the confidence and trust which the parents of these children have so generously placed in me; and I shall not betray that trust if it is humanly possible to guard against such a catastrophe. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Fred M.

I wrote you some days ago about one of the Chinese students who are entering Philips Academy this next month,and failing to get a reply,I am writing again at the risk of annoying you to inquire whether provision can be made that this boy be received into a Christian home and allowed to live as a member of the family. The lad’s name is Chang (surname) Shao-ling,and his father,of Tientsin, China,Mr.P.L.Chang, is an especial friend of mine.The father has written me asking that I request you to find such accommodations for his son.The boy is a good student and comes from an extremely fine home,and the father’s motive in wanting him in a private home is not that the dormitory life would not be wholesome,but that while he is so young -sixteen years of age -he wants him to have the advantage of living in an ideal Christian home,later when older, taking the democratic life of the dormitory. I feel sufficiently responsible to make the journey to consult with you over it if this is best. With kind regards, Sincerely yours, Dr.Stearns, Philips Academy Andover,Mass. Dr. Alfred E.

My dear Dr,Stearns: I am writing to acknowledge the kindness of your letter of September ninth,and to express my appreciation of the spirit in which it was written. I hope you will overlook the provincialism of a westerner who has known some thing of the record of Phillips Academy in caring for Chinese students,but has known of your intimate connection with it. With your permission I shall send the letter on to the parents in Tientsin,to whom it will be a very great comfort. May I express the hope sometime to meet you and thank you in person for your kindness to students in whom I have an interest also. With kind regards, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Fred M. Pyke
