Stearns to Arthur Sun, Cambridge, Mass., November 9, 1926 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Arthur Sun, Cambridge, Mass., November 9, 1926 Relation A related resource Dear Arthur: Your letter of November 7 has just reached me, and the same mail brought me also a letter from Mr. Murray in which he encloses a copy of the letter which he wrote you and which you were good enough to send for my inspection. I am returning the original herewith. Mr. Murray has been extremely kind and friendly and evidently the openings which he seems to have found for you are likely to prove more attractive than the position you have already accepted. Under the circumstances you met, of course, act with caution and in a perfectly frank and straightforward may if you are to play the not only fairly but to your own advantage. Naturally you can’t throw over impulsively a position once accepted in order to take a better one. On the other hand, there may be a perfectly honorable way out. My advice is to go frankly to your present employer and show him Mr. Murray’s letter and explain that I had written Mr. Murray long before you accepted your present position and that these possible openings are the result of efforts made by him in your behalf since that time and before the position you now hold opened up. Ask him in a perfectly frank way whether he would consider that it would be proper and in every way fair to him for you to look into these positions a little further and in the way suggested by Mr. Murray, in the belief that they may offer you work along the lines of your special Technology training and the work which you expect to follow when you return to China. Make it clear that you would not for a minute think of severing the present connection unless you should have the full and hearty approval of your employer, and then only for the reasons mentioned above. I am clear that such an approach would not be misinterpreted and that you would not be criticized for making it. Further, Mr. Murray’s reputation as an engineer is so high that no one could blame you for desiring to follow up one openly suggested by him. Very possibly these suggestions may not offer anything better than you now have. They do seem, however, to have possibilities which I feel should be investigated, and that is why I have proposed a line of action such as that outlined above. In the meantime, if you care to run out to Andover some evening, I shall be delighted to talk matters over with you in person. So far as I know, I shall be here all of this week.

Murray, Grand Central Terminal, New York City, November 9, 1926 (regarding Arthur Sun) Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to William S. Murray, Grand Central Terminal, New York City, November 9, 1926 (regarding Arthur Sun) Relation A related resource My dear Mr. Murray: On my return to Andover this morning I find your letter of November 5 with the copy of the exceedingly generous letter you have written Arthur Sun. Certainly you have proved yourself a wonderful friend to a stranger and he and I both appreciate it very very deeply. A few days ago Sun accepted a position with the Metropolitan District Commission. Naturally he does not feel, nor do I, that he should throw over this position without at least explaining frankly to his present employer the situation and securing full and friendly approval of the step. My impression is that his present boss would understand perfectly and give the boy his benediction upon making the change, assuming, of course, that a position along the lines suggested by you should actually materialize. The fact is that the job he has taken is, I believe, that of a lineman only and in work that is somewhat different from what he hopes to follow as a sanitary engineer in his home country later. I am writing Sun, therefore, to see is present employer at once and state the case frankly and fully to him; then if the desired approval is forthcoming, to look into the other possibilities suggested by you. I hope that in doing this I am playing fair with all concerned. Anyway, I am more grateful to you than I can express for the extremely friendly and effective way in which you have undertaken to help out this foreigner and stranger. The year seems to be starting off pretty well for your youngsters. It was a delight to be able to release John from probation, a release which he certainly earned. William, Jr., also appears to be making a good start, even though he did come out a few hours behind on the first rating. His teachers all speak of his good spirit, and are also inclined to think that the earlier conditions were due, in good part at least, to illness, and hence are not very likely to appear again on the slate.

Stearns, November 5, 1926 (regarding Arthur Sun) Relation A related resource My dear Dr. Stearns: I feel quite sure that you will be interested in the attached copy of letter I have written to young Sun. Through Mr. Edgar, President of the Boston Illuminating Company, and in turn through Mr. Moultrop, a friend of mine and their consulting engineer, approaches have been made to Messrs. Metcalf & Eddy and Messrs. Weston & Sampson, both of them very important firms in Boston, which have resulted in the invitation for young Sun to write them for an appointment. I do not doubt he will be able to make some connection with the one or the other. In the course of my procedures in this matter, I have received some very good advice from a fellow college-mate by the name of Thaddeus Merriman, who is the son of Mansfield Merriman, past well known hydraulic engineer, and who, by the way, it was my pleasure to have as instructor at Lehigh University. This advice from Mr. Moultrop all checks up with Mr. Merriman’s suggestions. I am sure looking forward to young Sun’s making a fine impression on both Mr. Eddy and Mr. Weston.

Relation A related resource My dear Mr. Sun: Through Dr. Stearns I have heard of your coming graduation at Technology, and have been putting out one or two lines in the hopes that I might find some position in your chosen field of sanitary engineering to start you off after you have left the institute. My friend, Mr. I.E. Moultrop of Boston has made the suggestion that you call on two concerns; the first one, Metcalf & Eddy, and the second Weston & Sampson, both located at 14 Beacon Street, Boston, Mr. Moultrop is acquainted with the senior partners of both of these firms and has talked with both Mr. Eddy and Mr. Weston. I would suggest, therefore, that you write letters; one to Mr. Eddy and one to Mr. Weston, using Mr. Moultrop’s name, asking for an appointment, which I believe, from what Mr. Moultrop has told me, will be granted; and I feel quite sure that these interviews will be very helpful to you. I had been in hope, prior to this time, to meet you myself, but business down here has kept me away from Boston. I wish you every possible success with your interviews, and will be glad to hear what may be the result.

I find that the earlier bill which you OK’d and returned was placed by my secretary, and by an error, in the envelope in which I keep your receipts. Miss Jones discovered it there when your letter came. Consequently the bill has not been paid but will be at once. I am also in receipt of your note enclosing the receipt for check for $300.00 recently sent you. Your explanation of the source of the publicity you have received in the ANDOVER TOWNSMAN clears the mystery completely, for I know that a good many institutions make a business of sending to the home papers of their pupils any items of news that they think are likely to prove interesting to the home folks. I appreciate your modesty in the matter and, of course, am not going to criticize you for notetelling me of the honors that have come to you.

Stearns to Mary Sun, Elmira College, November 2, 1926 Relation A related resource My dear Mary: As luck would have it, I made out for you last night the enclosed check for $300.00 and intended to send it in this morning’s mail. On arrival at the office, I find your letter which fits into the program nicely. My idea is to allow you to test out yourself a bit in the handling of funds by having a bank account just as Charlie and Quincy have done since they went to college. As the heavy college bills for the first half year have already been paid and as you secured a pretty generous outfit of clothes before college opened, the sum I am sending should take care of all necessary expenditures for the balance of the term, vacation expenses during the Christmas holidays, and should leave a generous balance for the winter term. If under this arrangement you are able to keep your expenses down within the proper bounds, I shall be only too glad to continue the plan, for it is a much easier one for me to handle and tends to save us both a good bit of unnecessary trouble and annoyance. So please do your best. Be sure, also, to keep a detailed account of all expenditures, one that I can submit to your father, if desired, when the regular accounts are sent home. The ANDOVER TOWNSMAN announces your election to some student governing committee, but as you have not mentioned it in your letters to me, I am wondering whether the report is true, and, if so, how the Townsman happened to know about it before I did.
