Macfarland, February 3, 1908 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Charles S. Macfarland, February 3, 1908 Description An account of the resource Typed letter sent from Alfred E. Stearns to Rev. Charles S. Macfarland about John J. Ungvary. Explains Ungvary has done well in his subjects. States Ungvary objected to initial accommodations, asking for something better due to health reasons. Noticed a tendency to spend a little more money than other working boys. Hopes Ungvary doesn't develop a lack of appreciation. Explains Ungvary quit the dining hall job after a few days and if he was laid off, it was because he was less efficient. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Dr. Alfred E.

Charles S. Macfarland, 37 Bayview Avenue, South Norwalk, Conn. My dear Mr.Macfarland, I do not quite know how to account for the reports which Mr.Ungvary has sent you of his situation. The boy is in some ways peculiar. So far as reports have reached me, he has always been faithful and earnest in his work and has done well in his various subjects. Along that line he seems well worth helping. In some either ways, however, he has been harder to understand. Some of our poorest boys here are accustomed to put up with pretty rugged accommodations. Ungvary from the start objected to such surroundings on the ground that his health required something better. This may be perfectly true and I don’t want to be unfair to him. At the same time on several occasions I have thought I noticed a little tendency to spend a little more money and secure something a little better than a good many of our working boys required. Doubtless the boy’s health and temperament may make this necessary. Please don’t misunderstand me for, barring the traits referred to, the boy seems in every way most worthy. But I would regret deeply to have him develop a lack of appreciation of what is being done for him and a willingness to accept freely all charities offered without doing his part to make ends meet. Early in the term I secured him an excellent opportunity to earn a most desirable room. He threw up the job within a few days on the ground that the ladies in charge of the house were too fussy and exacting. I know they were particularly but I know that every year boys have rejoiced to get the particular opportunity afforded in this house and that the moment Ungvary gave up the position, another good fellow stepped immediately and enthusiastically into the breach. This is one of the things that has made me a little nervous about the boy. In a word, it does not seem to me that he has yet done his best to help himself. If he has been laid off at the dining hall, it is because he was less efficient than the others. I hope, however, that this lay off may be only temporary. Assuring you of my deep appreciation of your many kindnesses to this boy and trusting that what I have written may aid you in passing judgement on his case, believe me, Very sincerely yours, Alfred E. Stearns. Charles S. Macfarland Dr. Alfred E. Stearns John J.

I have encouraged Mr.Ungvary to carry out his plan to enter Phillps this fall. I understand that he would do so. I think he understands the conditions pretty thoroughly and ought to be able meet them. There is no question though but that he should not attempt the work unless he has some funds on which to draw at the outset. There are bound to be expenses when a boy begins his life here, and without some resources boys are sure to be swamped before they can become familiar enough with conditions to XX enough to meet the demands made upon their pocket books. Can you tell me how much Mr.Ungvary can count on at the start. If he proves able to meet our scholarship standards he will be given scholarship aid. I think too that I can provide him an opportunity to work his board if he proves efficient in that sort of work. On the inclosed scholarship application blank you will find a statement of the condition under which scholarships are granted, and you can doubtless tell from the date given there how likely your friend will be to meet the requirements. In one or two exceptional cases each year the first payment of $50 is waived. Naturally these exceptions are made in favor of the most promising and needy boys. I shall be glad to have your opinion as to the desirability of considering Mr. Ungvary on this basis. Awaitting your further reply, and with kind personal regards, believe me. Very truly yours.

Charles F. Macfarland, South Norwalk, Conn Dear Sir:- I have your letter of the 18th inst. I am very much interested in your Hungarian friend. We have a good many nationalities presented here already. One of the most interesting and promising boys we have is a young Italian who under circumstances very similar to those existing in the present instance was sent here by Dr Huntington of New York. This boy, too, is preparing for the ministry, and we believe that he will make good. I mention these cases simply that you may understand that while we are accustomed to hold pretty rigidly to our regular courses, we are at the same time willing to make necessary allowances and exceptions for foreigners. Consequently I think we can do as much for your friend. From the catalogue which I am sending you under separate cover you will be able to see what our general courses are. As most of our boys go to Yale, these courses are arranged to meet in full the Yale requirements. I see no reason why such a course cannot be satisfactorily arranged I do not understand from your letter whether it is your wish to have the boy enter here this year, or whether you wish him to wait until the opening of the next school year. If you will advise me on this point I shall be glad to offer were satisfactory suggestions You will be able to tell from the catalogue the amount of ground covered by our classes term by term as well as during the entire year. May I also suggest that you have your friend fill out carefully and return to me the application blank which will be found in the back of the catalogue The information called for on this blank will make it possible for me to handle the case more intelligently.
