Miss Mary Sun&#13;
The Whittier School&#13;
Merrimac, Massachusetts&#13;
&#13;
Dear Mary:&#13;
&#13;
I am very grateful to you for your recent note, and especially happy over the cheerier tone in which it is written. I do hope that you will come to understand that the decision to make the change to the Merrimac, school was anything but a pleasant one for me to reach, and that it was made only after long and careful thought, and in the firm conviction that it would best carry out the definite and compelling instructions received from your father. My interest and desire are now, as they have always been, to do for you and the boys that which your father would feel would most nearly achieve for you all the purposes which prompted him to send you to this far-away land, and at such heavy expense and personal sacrifice. I cannot say that I have not at times made mistakes, but if so, they have been mistakes entirely of judgment and not purpose, for the goal that I have had in mind has never changed.&#13;
&#13;
I shall watch with interest your work and progress under the new surroundings, and can only hope that you	will be able to 	secure there just the kind of preparation you need	 to enable you to gain admission, at least, to a good college. Frankly I have some questions in my own mind as to whether you ought to go to college, and I have stated them frankly to your father. On the other hand I am sure that it would mean a lot  to him, and to you also, if you could at least meet the college entrance requirements, for then you could tell the world that the college doors were open to you, and that in itself would be a source of real satisfaction to you in years to come.&#13;
&#13;
Mrs. Russell will supply you with whatever funds you require for special incidentals over and beyond what can be taken care of by the regular monthly allowances. For the latter I am enclosing the customary chock herewith.&#13;
&#13;
One other thing. You really must curtail your output of letters to your friends. It will be utterly impossible for you to concentrate as you must in your studies if you are writing daily letters to your friends and securing a constant flow of letters from them. Do be reasonable about this. Not for the world would I interfere with good friendships; but I know only too well from experience that good work in studies is utterly impossible for those who are too mush interrupted in this way.&#13;
&#13;
Just as soon as the roads clear up a bit I shall plan to run over and have a look at you and talk things over. In the meantime accept my very best wishes for health, happiness, and real progress on the main job that is now yours.&#13;
&#13;
Always sincerely yours,&#13;

Mr. Charles Sun&#13;
35 Woodsides Avenue &#13;
Amhest, Mass.&#13;
&#13;
Dear Charlie:&#13;
&#13;
By a curious coincidence your letter reached me at the very moment that Arthur, who had me come out for lunch, was sitting in my study discussing with me Mary’s situation and problems. As a result of that talk I have just dictated a long letter to your father explaining everything, and I may even cable him in the morning, urging him to disregard any message received from Mary in advance of the receipt of the letter which I am sending. I have told him that her first reaction was naturally one of resentment, and not to blame her for it under the circumstances, but that from all we could learn (and Arthur and Miss Clemons have both talked with her over the phone this after noon) the first feelings had largely died away, and that Mary was now adjusting herself rapidly to the new conditions and growing increasingly contented. I am sure, therefore, that you need have no further occasion to worry on this score.&#13;
&#13;
My action in changing Mary’s school was taken on the receipt of a very definite cablegram from her father, saying only “Prepare Mary for college”. His message was prompted by your father’s receipt of a letter from me, written on December 18th last, in which I told him of rumors that had reached me that Mary was to go on to college later and the careful explanation I gave him of what that would mean, since Mary up to that time had been taking, not the college-preparatory course, but the general course, on my understanding that this was to round out her American education and that this school diploma was desired. I told your father frankly that if college preparation  was to be adopted, not only would Mary’s  course have to be changed at once, but all probability her school as well, for she would need form now on intensive and personal work and that I did not feel authorized to undertake anything so radical and drastic as this without definite instructions from him. In view of his cable, therefore, I could not do anything else than what was actually done. &#13;
&#13;
Of course Mary was terribly upset. That was natural enough   and I cannot blame her in the least. I purposely acted quickly, after I had investigated carefully the qualifications of various schools , for I knew that the longer the step was delayed the more difficult it would be for Mary herself, as her friends would naturally bemoan  her departure and console with her over what they would regard as  a hard decision.   The first day after Mary reached the new school she filled the mail-bag with letters, to her brothers, to Mr. Szein Washington and to others and I naturally inferred that these letters would be of the character that both your and Arthur have described. I am sure, however, that this was only the first reaction. Mrs.Russell, the principal of the new school, assured me only today that Mary had settled down and seemed increasingly happy and contented, and in conversations which both Arthur and Miss Clemons had with Mary over the phone this afternoon she herself admitted that this was so, that the school was all right, the girls exceedingly friendly, that she was working hard, but that she still wished (and that, of course, has been her wish for months) to return to China. &#13;
So you see, Charlie, I think that things are not quite so black as you felt them to be on the receipt of Mary’s hysterical letter. I am very sorry Mary had to go through this ordeal, which has been extremely hard for her, of course. I am sorry, too, that you and Arthur have had to shoulder an extra burdern of anxiety because of it, and I shall be doubly sorry if anything Mary has said tends to upset her father. If I cable him after I hear from Arthur tonight, I shall simply ask him to disregard Mary’s message and away the receipt of my letter. I shall simply ask him to disregard Mary’s message and await the receipt of my letter. In this way I believe we can forestall trouble and smooth things over so that within a short time the situation will be satisfactory to everybody. &#13;
&#13;
Again my thanks for your letter. Don’t worry any more, though I know it is just like you to take a thing of this kind deeply to heart, for your are, perhaps, more likely than most others to sense the significance of all of the factors involved. I have been immensely perplexed and distressed myself over the situation, but have done only what I felt your father definitely wished me to do, and am much more cheerful now, in view of development of the last few days. &#13;
&#13;
With all good wishes, believe me ever. &#13;
Very sincerely yours. &#13;

Mr. Arthur C. Robinson&#13;
60 Recreation Road&#13;
Tientsin, China&#13;
&#13;
My dear Mr. Robinson:&#13;
&#13;
I deeply appreciate the cases of Tom and Mary Sun are a bit puzzling to me. Tom wishes to enter the Wharton School of Business Administration at the University of Pennsylvania, but I am inclined to think that his brothers believe that his motives are not of the highest. Whether Tom can gain admission to the ordinary college and carry successfully the load which such a college demands, I don’t know. It is difficult to tell how far Tom’s slow progress in his school work is due to lack of ability and how much to lack of concentration and a compelling purpose. Frankly I am a bit disturbed to know just what course should be mapped out for the boy after he complete his work with us at the end of the current school year. His progress has been slow from the start, even though he has regularly invested much of his summer in tutoring schools. &#13;
&#13;
Mary is a hard worker and has good ability along some lines. Some of her present teachers, however, are inclined to doute the wisdom of sending her to college. Up to the present time she has been taking a general course with the idea of securing a good school diploma and with the further belief on my part that this must round out her American education. A cablegram received only a few days ago from Mr. Sun, and in answer to a long letter from me in which I sought to outline clearly the nature of the problem, instructs me to have Mary prepared for college. This means a change of course and probably a change of school, and I am confident that Mary is going to be very much distressed at this prospect. I have not broken the news. To her yet, since I felt that I must first find out what the possibilities are in a case a change is made at this time. Needless to say I am making inquires in various directions to secure the desired ate. &#13;
&#13;
Arthur is rounding out his course at Massachusettes Tech, after many stumbles and a pretty hard struggle. Charlie is a freshman at Amherst College, where he is already getting a good grasp on his work and where I am sure his record will be one of steady advancement  and in every way credible. Frank Lin is also still struggling with the Tech load, his work having always come hard for him; while Quincey Sheh is making an exceptionally fine record Bowdoin College. All of these facts have been reported to Mr. Sun, but I must admist that I am still puzzled over the problems furnished by Tom and Mary. I believe that you will be able to get a pretty clear picture of the situation as I see it if you will let Mr. Sun show you my recent letters to him. Of course there are colleages and colleges in America, as you know, and the standards vary widely. Mary is disposed to think that a college degree alone, regardless of its quality, will satisfy her father’s wishes. My own natural feeling is that instructions from Mr. Sun to prepare Mary for colleges naturally mean a college of the first rank. If that is the case, an added year of preparation will probably still be required. &#13;
&#13;
You see I am accepting your invitation at its face value, and I shall certainly be glad to get direct advices through you from Mr. Sun, with whom I hope you will be able to talk matters over frankly and fully before you start for America. In the meantime, I shall undoubtedly have been compelled to reach some kind of a decision, and I can only hope that decision will be wise and as nearly as possible in accord with Mr.Sun’s personal desires. &#13;
&#13;
With warm personal regards, &#13;
Believe me&#13;
&#13;
Very sincerely yours. &#13;

Mr. Charles Sun&#13;
35 Woodslide Avenue&#13;
Amherst, Massachusetts&#13;
&#13;
Dear Charlie:&#13;
&#13;
It was a great disappointment to me, too, as I wrote you, not be able to carry out my proposition of looking in on you at your room down on Woodside Avenue. Frankly, I was pretty well used up after that morning’s service, having gone through the two services at Aggie and at the college in quick succession and with a temporary metal plat on my jaw to make it possible for me to speak at all. I had slept little the night before, and at the urgent suggestion of Mr. and Mrs. Wolds went up to my room right after lunch and slept most of the afternoon to make up. That is the chief reason why I did not get around, for the rest of my time was pretty well filled. &#13;
&#13;
Anyway it was mighty nice to see you even for the brief moment after the service, and it is doubly nice to get your good report on your work this term. I hope and believe you will find the work increasingly easy and increasingly pleasant. &#13;
&#13;
One word of advice and suggestion. Do go up and call on President Olds and tell me who you are that I urged you to come. I know from him and I knew from my own experience that a visit of this kind means a lot and that it will make him especially very happy. You will find him one of the finest men that ever lived and one whom you will rejoice to know in years to come as a warm and worth-while friend. &#13;
&#13;
The best of luck and success to you!&#13;
&#13;
Ever yours. &#13;

&#13;
My dear Mr.Sun: &#13;
&#13;
I am herewith a statement of the accounts of your children and Quicey She up to the first of the current December. &#13;
You will not that Arthur is keeping well within the limits; Quicey She likewise; and Charles to an excellent degree, even though the first expenses in college are apt to be a bit exacting. Mary’s account runs a good deal ahead of what it used to be when she lived at the house, but that is natural since regular boarding school charges in these days are high, even in those schools like Abbot Academy which do not claim to be among the most expensive. Thomas, I think, is doing better, but it is stills somewhat difficult for him to accept the pinch of real restraint in his expenditures. &#13;
&#13;
As to the work of the various members of the group, I am frank to say that all of them at present seem to be working with excellent spirit. Probably the best record to date has been made by Quincy She at Bowdoin College. My only fear is that he may overwork, and I have cautioned him strongly on this point. I have also asked the new physical director at Bowdoin, an old Andover boy and a warm personal friend of mine, to take special interest in Quincy’s case and give him much good counsel and help as he can. Charles is making an excellent start at Amherst, though he is disposed to feel a bit discouraged about some of his work. That, I think, is only natural for a freshman facing the new surroundings of college life, and especially when that freshman happens to be a foreigner. Charles has proved in every way to so faithful and dependable that I am not at all worried about his future. &#13;
&#13;
The two cases that trouble me most just now are those of Thomas and Mary. I am writing this morning to the University of Pennsylvania to see if some credit for admission cannot be allowed Tommy the basis of his Chinese studies in the past. Otherwise I am afraid he will find a bit difficult to gain admission to the Wharton Business School, as he hopes to do next September. A business course seems just now to be probably the best thing for Tom to aim at and that which is most likely fit in with his individual abilities and needs. &#13;
&#13;
Mary furnishes the real problem just now. Following what I understood to be your personal wishes, Mary has been taking the general course at Abbot Academy, with the chief aim that of securing a degree and on the supposition that this would round out her education in America. During recent months I have been hearing muffled comments from Arthur and Mary, and I think, too, from her other brothers, to the effect that you had now decided that Mary was to go to college. Mary had hoped to study nursing or something of this kind a little later, though she had always intimated that she expected to teach when she got back to China. The college proposition, if it actually represents your views, throws the present machinery all out of joint, for the course which Mary is now taking does not admit to our American colleges and if colleges is to be the next goal, there must be an immediate and complete readjustment and very probably another year of preparation. Before attempting anything o radical as thing, I am very anxious to have your personal and definite authorization. Please write me fully and frankly just what you desire me to do under the circumstances, for I don’t feel justified in undertaking anything quite so radical without full authority from you. If I can discover from Arthur or Mary before receiving a reply to this letter sufficient evidence to assure me that this is really your last and definite purpose, I shall be tempted to make an immediate readjustment which can go into effect at the opening of the next term, some two weeks hence. This would involve a change of school and courses, a pretty radical step but seemingly necessary under the circumstances. I hope to see Arthur within the next few days and shall ask him to please at my disposal all the information he has received from you that bears upon the problem in this new and somewhat unexpected phase. &#13;
I hope to have all the boys out here for a day or two of the Christmas holidays, in any case, and only wish that my house arrangements were such at present that I could take care of them for the entire holiday season. This, unfortunately, is impossible, though Mary, who returned from school yesterday, will make her headquarters with me until the new term begins early next month. &#13;
&#13;
Hoping to hear from you soon and with my heartiest greetings for the new year on which you will soon be entering, believe me &#13;
&#13;
with warm personal regards&#13;
Very sincerely yours&#13;
