I am returning Minister Sze's letter, which you and not I should answer. The Minister had already written to me expressing his wife's desire to invite you to be her guest during the spring holidays and I had written him expressing my hearty approval of the plan. This will be much better for you than to remain in Elmira. Please write Mrs. Sze at once, therefore, and tell her how grateful you are for her invitation. I am sorry that chicken pox is prevalent at Elmira. You ought to be thankful that no more serious disease is around. Chicken pox may make you uncomfortable for a day or two, but it is a pretty mild affliction at best.

Just how capable he is intellectually of doing this, I am not quite sure, though I hope that he will be found to possess a proper amount of ambition, at least.

Stearns, December 3, 1926 (regarding Arthur Sun) Relation A related resource My dear Dr. Stearns: Your letter of November 30th about young Sun has just reached me. Please do not for a minute think that the matter is eating into my time and thought. As I wrote you before I am interested in young Sun and want to help him in any way I can. I am glad you sent me his letter, for it gives me a line on his makeup. The reaction is good. It would seem to me that the wisest thing he can do is to stick right by the job he has, holding it as a pivotal point against any change that can later be made either with Mr. Weston or Mr. Eddy. It is evident that Mr. Weston is interested in him by virtue of his invitation to dine with him some time when he is not busy, and something may develop there. A position with Mr. Eddy’s firm still seems to be a possibility, and he was wise to fill in the application blank. I have always thought it advisable for a young man to hold on to any honorable position he may have and move from it to another when justified, rather than have a blank space between the two jobs. I rather feel that Messrs. Metcalf & Eddy will later offer him some position, and if he could simply say to them, when he meets Mr. Eddy, that he is holding on to his job until they can take him on, it will strengthen his position. I have again written Mr. Moultrop as per copy. The boy is going to get there, although like the rest of us, he may have to wait a little while. Again I want to say, I liked his letter. I am returning it to you herewith. We are looking forward to seeing our youngsters, and hope that they will come back in good standing I think that they are making every best effort towards such a result.

I have carried them to this date so as to include the latest remittance of $1,000.00 received from you at that time. As I have already explained, these accounts do not carry the details which were regularly included in the earlier statements, owing to the fact that I have recently, and since the children have moved farther away for their education, handed them lump sums to be banked and drawn on as occasions arose. I have asked them to keep careful accounts of these expenditures, which they have done, and these as well as other receipts will be sent to you if you so desire. Indeed I have filed receipts for all expenditures made by me ever since the children first arrived but have not felt that you would necessarily care to be bothered with them. If you should desire to have them, however, I shall be glad to take steps to have them forwarded to you.

I am not going to consider any of the possibilities that may deflect you from the Red Pencils, as I am counting on your being there. A change of climate is very essential to both you and Mrs. Moultrop. May I take this opportunity to way that the following are advices on the young Chinese technology student, Arthur Sun. He called on Mr. Weston and Mr. Eddy. Mr. Weston saw him but Mr. Eddy was away. Mr. Weston seemed to think that he had better hold on to his present job. He was very nice to him, however, and wants later to have him dine with him. Young Sun, and I think he is right, wants to be affiliated with one of those two firms, and he is counting on an opportunity to go with Mr. Eddy’s firm. It is my understanding that Mr. Eddy returned to his office December 1st. Sun had a very nice talk with Mr. Eddy’s right hand man, Mr. Frail, who asked him to fill in an application blank. He has done this. I have read a letter that Sun has written to Dr. Stearns at Andover, and it has given me some good reactions about him. If an opportunity lends, and I am not imposing too much, perhaps should you Know Mr. Frail or Mr. Eddy, you might say a good word in his direction prior to the time the young man has his interview. I have advised Dr. Stearns that it is best for Sun to hold on to his present job until he can land something with either Mr. Weston or Mr. Eddy.

French, Elmira College, to Sao-Ke Alfred Sze, Chinese Legation, Washington, D.C., January 11, 1927 Subject The topic of the resource Copy of letter (for Stearns) from Ernestine H. French, Elmira College, to Sao-Ke Alfred Sze, Chinese Legation, Washington, D.C., January 11, 1927 Relation A related resource Dear Dr. Sze: After receiving your letter yesterday asking for a frank report on the status and prospects of Mary Sun, I looked up her record in the Dean's office and found that Mary had received only one "warning" (which means unsatisfactory work) and that was in French last month. I found in talking with the Dean that Mary was allowed and advised by her to drop French because of the natural linguistic difficulties which, combined with an otherwise hard schedule, made the continuance of French this first semester too difficult for her. It will only mean the making up of two hours which can be done much more easily at some future time when college work and everything connected with it are not so new and strange. Even without the French Mary is carrying fourteen hours a week, including the laboratories. I have talked with each of the professors in the departments in which Mary is working -- Biology, Chemistry, English and Bible and find that they all agree that Mary is an average student doing passing work. Miss Whittaker, head of the biological department said that some time ago she had asked one of the young instructors to give some special attention to Mary and Tsao Ching to familiarize them with terms and to go over some of the points that the other students had previously had in High School. This seems to have helped them very much and their work has been quite satisfactory. Miss Eastom reports that Mary does very good work in Chemistry, in fact much better than that done by some of the American students. Professor Mould reports that Mary's work in Bible is like that of the average American student -- it is passing but not particularly good. In English, also, the report is that there is no question of Mary's not passing -- she is doing satisfactory though not excellent work. Her English teacher told me that she had felt that Mary might do better in English and that she wanted her to improve and so had been a little severe with her. She feels that Mary is, perhaps, a little "spoiled" and apt to become discouraged if she is not praised and made a great deal of. Her idea in telling Mary that she must do better work and show more improvement in her English work was that a little wholesome criticism would be good for the girl. Nearly every girl has a period of discouragement during her first year at College. There are so many new adjustments even for the native students to make, that it is quite natural that the difficulties should at times seem insurmountable to the girls and Page two that they should be tempted to want to give the whole thing up. Added to this very natural situation which must be faced by almost everyone, is Mary's present physical condition which makes everything look dark to her. She came back from the Christmas vacation with a very bad cold. Our resident physician is looking after her and makes Mary lie down and rest for one hour every afternoon. This rest is in place, I believe of the regular gymnasium work, and is a very excellent thing in every way for a girl who is temporarily run down. We all feel that it would be a very great mistake for Mary to leave college now. She has really passed through the most difficult part -- and successfully, although not with such distinction as she evidently would have liked. Examinations being this week and that is another thing which makes her anxious. Her professors have assured me that she is likely to pass although she herself seems to think that her marks are so poor that she is ashamed of them. I believe that she rates her accomplishments too low and the possibilities of achievement under the circumstances, too high. Mary is well liked by the students and made a great deal of by them. She has been invited several times to spend the week-end in Corning at the beautiful home of Mrs. Samuel Hawkes whose daughter was at Sea Pines Camp with Mary, but Mary has never accepted the invitations, thinking that she was too busy with her work. Professor Mould of the department of Bible and Mrs. Mould plan to entertain Mary with some of the other students in their home very soon. Of course, I have had Mary at my house and have asked her to come whenever she can, but she has not accepted without a special invitation. Personally, I feel, very strongly that Mary's feeling of discouragement, while perhaps natural under the circumstances, should not be taken seriously. She is doing as good work as the average student and all conditions surrounding her college life, so far as I can see, are pleasant, wholesome and beneficial. I believe that it would be a very grave mistake for her to be allowed to "give up." I trust that this report will be of assistance. You and Dr. Stearns may rest assured that a very personal interest is taken in Mary as in all of "our girls" at Elmira. We want each and everyone of them not only to develop into the best possible women but to be happy in doing so. President Lent as you know takes a very special interest in each student. He has asked to have a talk with Mary tomorrow. With very cordial good wishes for the New Year to you and Madame Sze, I am Sincerely yours, Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ernestine H.
