I am enclosing check herewith for $500.00 which will carry you, I hope, well into the spring term. This is the same amount I am allowing to Tom, and I shall be interested to see how expenses compare as between Middlebury and Amherst, to say nothing of the comparison between Charlie and Tom Sun. Miss Clemons’s address at present is: Miss Grace Clemons, c/o Morgan and Company, 14 Place Vendome, Paris, France. You can doubtless reach her there during the Christmas holidays, though she may possibly join Marjorie in England for a part of that time. If you are going to stay in Amherst for your holiday, I hope you will have some real fun out of the experience and enjoy a real rest, too. Needless to say you have my heartiest good wishes for a Merry Christmas and a most happy holiday. Very sincerely yours, AES/G Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alfred E.

Stearns to Charles Sun, Amherst, Mass., November 16, 1927 Relation A related resource Dear Charlie: I have just received your letter of November 13 and am not surprised that you should have wondered at my absence from the Inauguration exercises at Amherst a short time ago. I had fully expected to be there and had counted on the opportunity that the trip would furnish me to have a nice little visit with you Unfortunately the appearance in our midst of infantile paralysis made it necessary for me to cancel all outside engagements at this time, including a meeting of the College Entrance Examination Board in New York and the Amherst Inauguration, and to stay right here on the job. You can be sure that only something of real importance would have kept me from taking part in the Amherst festivities, especially when I had just been initiated into membership on the Board of Trustees. What you write me of the flood and of the contests with Williams are most interesting. It would take a good deal of water to bring the old Connecticut up on top of Amherst Hill. Naturally I was interested to hear what happened up at Connecticut Lake where the river starts, and a letter received from Ike Brown only a few days ago tells met that the road into my camp and the one leading down from the barn to the little cabins where you boys were lodged, especially the latter, have been badly washed out. Fortunately the lake had been drawn down during the late summer and early fall, so that when the freshet came the dam didn't go out as it doubtless would have done if the Lake had been full of water at the time. I hope you will be able to pull your work up if it has suffered of late, so that you can continue the splendid record which you have made up there to date. Incidentally, and if you get the chance, look up some of the Andover boys who have entered Amherst this fall, for there are some extra good fellows in the lot, and I am sure that you will find them congenial.

I told you of my feeling about the Norwich University plan and of my readiness to approve of the step, provided only your father approved also. If you have not received this letter, please let me know and I will have a copy of it sent you. My bag which contains the summer correspondence has not yet come through, but I expect it today. I am sending you a check for $500.00, as requested, to cover the college expenses of the fall term, at least. As summer expenses invariably mount higher than we anticipate. I hope you will be able to keep the expenses of the college year down to as reasonable limits as practicable.

Harris, Dean, Elmira College, July 8, 1927 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to M.M. Harris, Dean, Elmira College, July 8, 1927 Relation A related resource My dear Miss Harris: The contents of your letter of July 7, just received, have given me something of a shock, for I have had no indication whatever from the authorities of Elmira College up to the present time that any such situation existed as that you now report in connection with my ward. Miss Mary Sun. I visited Elmira during the past winter and talked with a number of the officers, including the President, with the express purpose of discovering just what progress Miss Sun was making. From all sides I received ensuring reports. Miss Sun herself was the only one who expressed misgiving as to how successfully she was making the college grade. The Chinese Minister at Washington wrote also to some personal friend of his on your faculty at a time when Miss Sun seemed a bit depressed, and he reported to me that he had received only reassuring replies. Under the above circumstances I am sure that you will agree that I have a right to be a bit surprised at the nature of your letter just received. Needless to say I shall do my best to impress upon Miss Sun the absolute necessity of getting down to hard work from now on, though I shall find it very difficult to explain why I have found it necessary to assume this attitude towards her just now when during the year, and as I supposed with the full approval of the college authorities. I was endeavoring to encourage her to commend her faithfulness, and to dissuade her from believing that college work was beyond her grasp. I trust that during the coming year you will advise me frankly and promptly if Miss Sun's work and attitude are not measuring up to your customary standards. Very sincerely yours.

The latter I am returning herewith. I don’t know who the good friend is who tells of visiting the Dean, but I would value her comments a little more if she had not addressed you in quite such endearing and gushing terms. Still, I have no doubt she is painting the picture just as she sees it. Anyway, we are evidently getting the thing straightened out, and I am sure that you will be given full credit this coming year for all your efforts and achievements. What you say about your health troubles me, though I am glad to feel that you have the matter in hand now and are making real progress. When you were here I was a little troubled by your seeming pallor and thinness, which I feared were the result of foolish dieting. Your health should be the first consideration, and you must bend every effort now to the correction of past weaknesses and the building up of a vigorous boydy, which, of course, would mean a more active and retentive mind. Follow your doctor’s instructions implicitly, and I am sure that the desired results will follow. With all best wishes, believe me Ever sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.
