DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, BUREAU OF EDUCATION, Washington, February 5, 1909. SIR: Inquiries have been made from time to time with reference to the opportunities open to Chinese students in American colleges and universities. Such inquiries have of late been urgently presented by representatives of the United States in the Chinese Empire, who have taken a deep interest in the progress and influence of American educational ideas among the Chinese people. The recent negotiations with reference to an educational use of that portion of the Boxer indemnity which has been remitted by the United States Government have given new point to these inquiries. I have accordingly requested Prof. John Fryer, of the University of California, to prepare an account of the educational advantages and opportunities offered to Chinese students in a number of our American institutions. Inquiries sent out from this office have brought replies from many sources, giving an abundance of such information as has been desired. The information thus obtained has been collated and edited by Professor Fryer, and in this form is transmitted herewith. I beg to recommend that it be published as one number of the Bulletin of the Bureau of Education for the year 1909. The editor of this work, Prof. John Fryer, was for thirty-five years a resident of the Chinese Empire, where he held important official positions under the Imperial Government. He rendered extraordinary service in the introduction of western science into that Empire, was the author and editor of a large number of important works in the Chinese language, and received distinguished recognition of an official character. For the past twelve years he has been Agassiz professor of Oriental languages and literature in the University of California. His wide acquaintance with educational conditions in both China and America has fitted him to an unusual degree for the present undertaking. It is fair to expect that this publication will be widely useful in fostering the new educational relations between the American and the Chinese peoples. I may add that the time is undoubtedly near at |
