He has met the requirements in all of his courses except that in Chemistry. This seems to cause him considerable difficulty and he is reported as having a grade of 1.5 which means that unless he does remarkably well during the present week he will be excluded from the examination. Probably a word of encouragement from you would be of real benefit to him just now. Should he succeed in passing all of his examinations, his Official Warning will be removed and he will be again in full standing in his Class.

Of course at this distance I am not a very capable judge as to the circumstances involved in the case, but I have a feeling that you have really tried of late to meet the requirements made of you down there, and that the Chemistry failure cannot fairly be attributed therefore to recent lack of effort at least. Anyway it is so very essential that you should make good this deficiency promptly, that I am writing to authorize you to get hold of a good tutor at once, and for a week or two at least put in some extra hard work on the subject. If you are in any doubt as to whom to select, consult Mr. Vreeland, the Registrar, and I am sure he will be glad to help you. We must get that record of yours clear, and that at an early date. A weak or two of extra hard work just now may save you a year of trouble later. So go at it hard, and good luck to you! I suppose you have heard that one of our recent arrivals from China died here early in the week. Han-Tseng Fan was the boy, and the case is indeed a sad one. Apparently he had overworked, and neglected entirely his exercise, so that when the disease once got hold of him he had little strength with which to resist. He want to the informary [sic] only Saturday, and died early Tuesday afternoon. His brother, a graduate of Boston Tech, last year, and now at Columbia, is staying with me here just now. He plans to give up his work in Columbia and return with the body to China. With all good wishes to you, and hoping soon to hear that the Chemistry condition has been consigned to the scrap-heap, believe me. Faithfully yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Han-Taeng Fan Tommy Y.C.

I enjoyed it thoroughly. To prove it I am inclosing chock herewith for $15. Kindly sign and return the accompanying receipt. Yes, I received back the check from Leo Morris, and have cancelled the charge accordingly. Your reference to Fayuen and his request for money amuses me. Kwan, who was here the other day, told me that Fayuen had written him also asking him to request me to send money. Like yourself, Kwan refused to mix up in the matter. Yes, Fan’s death was a very sad affair. The boy had clearly overworked, taken no exercise, and was a good subject for disease when disease once tackled him. We had a very simple, brief memorial service for him last Saturday afternoon, and there must have been between fifty and sixty Chinese boys present, delegations from Harvard, Tech, Exeter, and Dummer. I had five of them at the house with me over night, and seven at breakfast the next morning. They were a fine lot of boys. I don’t believe that anyone is going to get panicky over Fan’s death. Those with whom I have talked seem to be very reasonable about it. I am glad to hear that the work is progressing so well, but I shall be gladder still when I hear that that Chemistry condition has been wiped off the slate. Continued success to you!

Frankly, this news disgusts me. There is no earthly sense in your placing yourself in such a position as this where you are classed with the ’’loafers” and ”dead-beats” of the college community. You don’t belong there for a minute, and frankly, you ought to be ashamed to be found in such company. In my judgment, what you need more than probation is a good hard spanking, and if I could get my hands on you, and hold you quiet long enough I should be strongly tempted to administer one myself. For Goodness’ sake, wake up before it is too late, and get out of the mud in which you seem to have been wallowing ever since you struck New Haven. I could never forgive myself or you if you should have to leave Sheff. Such an outcome would be a disgrace to us all, and a reflection on all who are interested in your welfare, including not merely yourself, your family, and your friends, but even your country, and your old school.

I have had a talk with him and it seems that he did not thoroughly understand our rule regarding the number of unexcused absences which a student on Official Warning is allowed to take. He has taken several over the allowed number this term and, therefore, this action is necessary. He clearly understands that it will be impossible for him to take more than four more without making it necessary for him to leave the School and assures me that he will endeavor to make his attendance record more satisfactory. This Probation will naturally be removed at the end of sixty days if his scholarship record is satisfactory at that time.
