Stearns, Dear Sir: I regret to write you that, in view of the unsatisfactory record of your ward, A.K. Sun, he is not recommended for the degree of Bachelor of Science. The Faculty will, on petition from him, inform him of the further requirements for his graduation. Secretary. June 7 1926 Mr. A. L. Merrill, Secretary Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Mass. My dear Mr. Merrill, I am sorry indeed to learn that Arthur Sun has again failed to meet the requirements of the Institute for his degree. I shall, of course, be glad to learn what will still be required of the boy to permit him to obtain this goal, which I happen to know his father very earnestly cherishes for him. Frankly, I have never quite been able to decide whether Sun’s failure to make a better record with you is due to lack of ability or lack of the earnest effort that should have characterized his work.

Dear Mary: Good for you, and hearty congratulations. I am glad that you are going to have no further worry for the sunnier, though I am sure that every bit of work you put in for the rest of the tine before college opens will prove of immense value to you, especially during the Freshman year. When you decide where you are going to visit after your summer session closes, be sure to let me have the addressee so that I can keep posted as to your whereabouts. I am still in Andover as you will note from this letter, though I hope to be able to get into the woods for two or three weeks before school reopens.

Mr. Arthur Sun, Technology Dormitories Cambridge, Mass. Dear Arthur: I have your letter of August 10th and am enclosing checks as requested, one for Mr. Mirabelli and the other to you for advance allowance. Please send me the receipts promptly. You have really been dreadfully careless about bills and receipts, although I take extra pains to enclose addressed and stamped return envelopes whenever I send you a check. In spite of this, the receipts frequently do not come back until you have occasion later to write for money. This not only means extra trouble for me, but is distinctly unbusinesslike on your part. For your own sake, if you ever hope to be a success, do try to overcome this carelessness, and be careful and prompt in all matters relating to the handling of money. Tom has applied for admission to Middlebury College and is now tutoring at the Thorn Mountain Summer Camp at Jackson, New Hampshire. Mary is going to Elmira College, and has recently received notice that she is fully admitted. Tom troubles me, as usual. His final report in June with us was wretched, and, though he assured me that it did not represent the real work he had actually done, and that he would prove this on the college examinations, the college returns were equally bad. If he fails to get into Middlebury I am strongly disposed to give him a year in a strict Military School. Otherwise, I really think he ought to go back to China, for he appears to be drifting more and more until I wonder whether we can stop it. As to your job next fall. It seems to me that the best way to get at the thing is to interview some of your instructors there at Tech, who are constantly placing follows in positions such as you seek, and who can tell you far more than I can just how to go to work to find a position. Try this anyway, and then let me know what success you have. I shall be glad to help you in every way I can, but am naturally limited in my ability to do so. I am hoping to start for the lake the last of this week, and be there until school opens next month. If you have occasion to write, however, letters sent to Andover will be forwarded, and in any case, the receipts for the checks enclosed should be returned to the office here, and in the envelope I am sending with them. Ever sincerely yours. Arthur Sun Dr. Alfred E.

Dear Mary: Your letter of June 10 reached me yesterday, and, as this is the day of the Exeter ball game, I am rushed to death and can only send a brief reply now. First, I have instructed Miss Pickford to purchase blankets and whatever else you require for the summer, so that you will not lack for these necessaries. I am also going to send her at once a check as reserve for you to draw on, with her approval, when you need incidental expenses. As to the summer, I have had further correspondence with Dr.Sze, and in a letter received from him only yesterday have his warm approval of the Sea Pines Summer School as offering better advantages than the somewhat indefinite Ithaca plan which we first discussed. Frankly, I am sure that you will be happier and much better physically at Sea Pines than you would be at Ithaca, especially if we happen to have a hot summer; indeed I can't think of a better place or arrangement under which summer work could be done than those offered at Sea Pines. I have written Miss Bickford about the requirements for your admission. The Elmira authorities are going to be very generous with you and are giving you full credit for all the work you have done to date. They will require a little further work in Algebra, however, and feel, as do I, that such additional work as you can do in English and perhaps French will make the Freshman year much simpler for you and consequently much more satisfactory in every I will see about the trunk at once. Possibly it would be better for you to have all three sent down, so that you can look over your things at your leisure this summer and take what you will require to Elmira. As Miss Clemons is going abroad with Marjorie before the summer is over and will be gone for most of the coming year, at least, we shall have to make some other arrangements for your general- oversight, and I imagine that, under the circumstances my house would not be the best place for you to leave your belongings. Indeed I am not sure yet just how I shall conduct the house next year or whether it will be possible for me to make vacation provision for you and the boys. Consequently it would seem that it might be well for you to have any of your clothes or other belongings that you may wish to get at during the year with you at Elmira. So just you cheer up about that work and don't get discouraged. There is absolutely no reason why you should feel in doubt about your admission to Elmira. Just carry out the instructions which the college authorities have given, do your best this summer, but don't overdo, and I am sure you will go sailing into college well prepared to do the college work and in good physical condition to stand the strain. With every best wish to you, believe me always Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Mary Sun https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/c45ee90a4120a28de2537e28444a84d9.jpg afd9d42dc39b7e2523df5b565b682338 https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/c9a64527796738f49045b7e72f57f5b9.jpg 2f0236579a43c0dd3b27973b7e8d0088 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

My dear Miss Bickford: Thank you for your letter which has just reached me and whichI have read with deep interest. Last night’s mail brought me a letter from Dr. Sze who expresses himself rather enthusiastically over the prospect of locating Mary with you this summer; and unless you find that Mary is stubbornly determined not to be happy down there and is likely in consequence to prove a disturbing factor in the situation, I am sure that the summer session with you will be far better for her in every way than would the Ithaca proposition, which for the moment seems to be the only reasonable alternative. I am making the application, therefore, in a formal way and shall write Mary what I have done. You have been very kind to take the girl for this short and trial period, as it were, and at such a reasonable rate. Any time you care to send me the formal bill, I shall be glad to send you a check for the same and promptly. Please do not hesitate to purchase for Mary whatever she requires for the school and camp life and work. I do not wish her to spend more than is necessary, of course; but she is by no means a charity pupil, and, while her father is shouldering a heavy expense in educating four of his children at the same time in America, he has always been ready to meet reasonable charges for the best that could be offered them, although equally anxious that they should develop no extravagant habits and taste. Whatever Mary may require, therefore, in the way of blankets, middies. rubber toots, etc., she should have. Again thanking you for the exceptionally friendly may in which you have cooperated in helping me solve a somewhat difficult problem, believe me Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E.

I am asking the Principal of Sea Pines to send you the literature of the school that you may have a clear picture of the place and its life and work. Miss Bickford writes me by this morning's mail that Mary seems increasingly contented and happy; so that I am disposed to agree with you that the best arrangement I can make for Mary is to continue the Sea Pines connection through the summer, and I hope that Mary herself will feel that this is really the best thing to do. I received only a few days ago Mr. Sun’s letter to which you refer. Apparently he is inclined to approve all of the steps we have taken thus far to provide for Mary’s 'further stay in America and her college course.

Fitzpatrick 1 East Avenue Ithaca, N. Y. My dear Miss Fitzpatrick: I am very much indebted to you for your friendly and explicit letter of June 7. Your explanations are more than clear, and I understand the situation fully. Recently I found it necessary to make provision for Mary Sun to cover the three weeks intervening between the close of her school year and the opening of the summer term at Ithaca. I chose the Tea Pines School down on Cape Cod and shortly after learned that the school had a summer session, generously attended and offering seemingly an unusually wholesome and vigorous life at an attractive seashore spot. It seemed to me that it would probably be well, under the circumstances, to allow Mary to remain at Sea Pines for the rest of the summer, and I wrote to Dr. Sze in Washington explaining the most recent development and asking his advice. A letter received from him this morning indicates that he appears to approve to my suggestion, and I am consequently making application for Mary's continuance at Tea Pines for the rest of the summer. Let me take this opportunity of thanking you for your generously expressed willingness to assume the responsibility of the oversight of Mary Sun during the summer. If the Ithaca arrangement had been made, I should have been immensely relieved and gratified to know that you were exercising this supervision over Mary's life and interests. Very sincerely yours.

My dear Arthur Your latter has just reached me, but I had already heard the bad news from the secretary of the Institute who send me a brief note yesterday. This news I passed on to Mary at Sea Pines in order that she might not plan to take in the festivities, as she had hoped and expected to do. This, of course, has proved a bitter disappointment for us all, and. I really can’t advice you by letter just what you ought to do. My impression, however, in that your father would wish you at almost any cost to fight on until the Technology degree is yours. If you can do this by summer work, go to it. It will be time to talk about a good vacation, if that is necessary, when the decree is actually in your possession. The secretary wrote me that he would advise me later just what steps would be required of you to make up your deficiencies and graduate. I wish you would get wish you would get this information from the authorities in writing and send it on to me; then we will get together and plan how best to meet the retirements, Further, we can get a job for you in the fall perhaps even better than we could earlier. This is about all I can say at present and with my limited knowledge of the actual conditions. Let me know just what the authorities are going to require of you and then I shall be able to advise you intelligently. Very sincerely yours. Arthur Sun Dr. Alfred E. Stearns
