Description:

Beginning in 1871 the Chinese government began sending groups of 30 students every year to the United States to train them in the Western ways, as part of what was titled the Chinese Educational Mission. The students remained until 1881 when they were all called home, as the political climate in China underwent a great change. The students were scattered to various schools and Phillips Academy was one of those selected schools. Sew Nan Yang became a naval officer.
