president Frederick C. Ferry&#13;
Hamilton College&#13;
Clinton, N.Y.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Doctor Ferry: &#13;
&#13;
Another one of our Chinese boys, H. C. Chan tells me that he is hoping to enter Hamilton College next fall and has asked me to write you a word in his behalf. This I am glad to do.&#13;
&#13;
Chan has been with us for a couple of years and is a pretty likable sort of a boy. He has lived up to the school requirements in a steady and responsible way, as most of these Chinese lads do. He has not the ability of Yuan who is now with you, nor indeed the same kind of a background, for he is a Hongkonger and doubtless a Cantonese. As a rule these fellows do not prove nearly so good timber as their northern brethren though there are exceptions at times, and our senior Latin prize was carried off by one of them only a few years ago. Anyway Chan will doubtless prove a wholly satisfactory member of your student body if he is successful in gaining admission to Hamilton. I hope he will succeed.&#13;
&#13;
Faithfully yours&#13;

Alfred E. Stearns, Litt.D., Prin., &#13;
Phillips Academy,&#13;
Andover, Mass.&#13;
&#13;
My dear Dr. Stearns&#13;
&#13;
Please accept thanks for yours of the 17th instant concerning H.C.Chan. We shall be glad to receive and provide for him if he manages to offer the necessary subjects as he undoubtedly is going to do. We propose with him, as has been the case with Henry Yuan, to accept the work done in the Chinese classics and Chinese literature for our Latin requirement.&#13;
&#13;
We are particularly pleased with Henry Yuan. He seems to be justifying the fine statements which you gave us concerning him.&#13;
With kind regards to you and much pleasure that we are to have you here before the year is far spent, I am&#13;
&#13;
Yours very sincerely,&#13;
