Please don't burden yourself with this matter, much as I should appreciate any assistance you may be able to give me and the boy in hoping up the best course for the latter to follow at this particular time. A letter received from Arthur Sun in the same mail with your own brings the good news that he has passed the last of his Technology examinations and will be awarded his degree at Christmas time. The boy's present address is: Arthur Sun, Suite 2, 333a Harvard Street, Cambridge, Mass. If it should prove possible for you to meet him later in Boston for an interview, I should, of course, be immensely grateful to you for giving him such an opportunity.

Stearns, October 5, 1926 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from M.A. Harris, Dean, Elmira College, (Open Letter to Parents) to Alfred E. Stearns, October 5, 1926 Relation A related resource OPEN LETTER TO PARENTS We are writing you concerning the arrangements at the college in regard to any outside social life you may at any time desire your daughter to enjoy. In the first place, however, we wish to explain that in the judgment of the Administration the social life inside the college is so varied and full that social engagements outside the college are not necessary for the proper recreation which every student needs. Should you decide that during her college years you do not desire that your daughter shall during term time have other social pleasures than these, she will in our judgment be the more likely to get the best from her college life. Should you on the other hand for any reason wish that she may be allowed certain other privileges enjoyed by girls of her years, our regulations require notification of this from you, as follows:- 1) Because of the uncertainty as to the security of the ice which forms in the Chemung River, we require a special letter on file for those students who wish to skate there. 2) Because of other dangers we require a special letter of permission in the case of students who wish to do active philanthropic work in the city. 3) Because of the tendency to homesickness on the part of freshmen we ask a special letter of permission from parents who wish freshmen to visit home from time to time as they may desire. 4) Because we deprecate attendance upon dancing parties in the city, as unsettling to the student’s work and because we can assume no responsibility for the character of the persons our students may meet at such general gatherings, we ask a special letter of permission for students whose parents are willing they should go to dancing parties in the city. In the four cases named above a letter of general permission to cover affairs for the year will answer, should you care to give it. 5) There are however conditions under which we do not accept such general permission. One of these is absence from the college residence halls for over night when the student is not going to her own home or to the home of a near relative. In order that a student may leave college for over night to visit elsewhere, it is necessary that a letter SPECIAL TO THE OCCASION shall be on file at the Dean’s Office, received by her from the parent or guardian of the student, naming the lady to be visited and the address of this lady, and if possible the precise date of the approved visit. The regulations do not allow us to accept general permissions for a student to make visits or to be absent over week-ends, either in or out of the City of Elmira. Local guardians for out of town students are not recognized by the College (Exceptions to this ruling may be made by the Social Committee in special cases such as when a guardian is required for students from foreign lands.) We are not allowed to base permissions in any case upon our personal opinion of the social desirability of the visit. Perhaps it should be mentioned that in any case a student may not leave college for over night more than three times a semester unless her class standing is exceptionally high or unless she is summoned home on account of illness in the family. For this reason it is desirable to plan visits well in advance of the date set. Leaving college at the time of published vacations is not counted as one of the allowed three absences nor is permission necessary for absence at that time. Very cordially yours, M. A.

Should any particularly attractive opportunity develop which you, yourself, felt should be accepted by Miss Sun, I shall be perfectly willing to leave the final decision to your own best judgment.

I certainly rejoice that the goal has at last been attained and that the degree from Technology has now to be yours. The one regret, however, that I have now is that you should have been prompted by your enthusiasm to indulge in any foolish expenditures of money, if this is what you have done. Isn’t there yet time to cancel or adjust the order. I have just had a letter from Mr. William Spencer Murray of New York, one of the leading engineers in the country to whom I wrote in your behalf. He tells me that he often comes to Boston and would be very glad to meet you there for an interview in the near future. At his request I am sending him your address, and you will doubtless hear from him before his next visit. He stands about as high in the profession, I imagine, as does Mr. Freeman, so that you would be perfectly safe in following his advice and accepting his suggestions. I have not yet heard from Mr. Freeman, though I have written him, as promised. Very sincerely yours, Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alfred E.

First, please permit me to relate for you again the subjects that I am now taking; they are: English (a study of Elysabethan [sic] drama, especially that of Shakespeare), biology, mathematics, Greek, and philosophy. Of all these courses I like Professor Eliot’s English course the best. Prof. Eliot, as you know, was one of the best men in Bowdoin College; he is a good personality and a fine teacher; I simply enjoy his course. Biology is very interesting and I like it also. As to Greek I quite dislike it; although I think I shall get along all right. Philosophy is hard for me to understand; otherwise I would like it as much as I do biology. Such, in short, is what I have to say about my studies in college. I am choosing soccer as the sport, and I am glad to say for present I am a member of the team. East Saterday [sic] we play Conn. State Normal, winning from them by a big score 10-0. It wasn’t a great victory; because our opponents did not know the technique of the game and in truth were much inferior to our team. But their men were hard fighters and good sportsmen, which is something to be respected. Yours always, Charles Sun Dr. Alfred E.

When I found Arthur was a student at Technology I told Dr. Stratton about him, who sent out into the class room for him to come to the President’s office. I think the young man was somewhat astonished at the summons. I had not previously known that you were looking after the education of Mr. C. Y. Sun’s four children. I am glad to find them in such capable hands. The father impressed me as one of the finest characters that I met during my stay in China.

Arthur has since written me that he has finally secured his degree at Tech, and for this I am supremely grateful chiefly because I realize what a keen disappointment failure would have brought to the boy’s father. Arthur is not the most promising of Mr. Sun’s four children, but he is pretty steady, though not brilliant, and I believe he will develop better as he grows in age and experience. I have also interested Mr. Spencer Murray in the case, and I am sure with the backings which the boy has from men like you and Mr. Murray, he ought to be able to find a good position in the not distant future.
