I received a letter from my father to-day. He stated very emphatically that I should remain in this country another [year] to get a degree or "learn some profession. I took it for granted that he meant Political Science. I am glad of a chance to further my studies, and I have made plans accordingly. Under the circumstances I will have to waste half of a year. I graduate from Middlebury at Mid-years. My original plan was to come to Columbia right at the beginning of the second semester to study for the rest of that semester and the whole of the next summer at the end of which I planned to receive my Master's degree, but unfortunately the rules at Columbia requires a year of residence in Columbia or its equivalent. That means that I can not get my master's degree at the end of the next summer session and I will have to stay here another semester in order to fulfill my one year’s residence. I have considered Harvard where I might do my graduate work, but my opinion about that institution is not very high. I have considered Syracuse. There is a special school there called the School of Citizenship and Public Welfare. This is an unique institution. I can get a five hundred fellowship there besides my tuition, because as a rule they give that to almost everyone that attends that school. It is a school and a part of Syracuse University. It is merely a special class of five or six. But what I have against it is the name of the school. A degree from Syracuse is worth no more to me anyway than a special privilege to go to a museum, because I don't like museums. In the same way I do not like Syracuse, and I believe that a diploma or a degree from there is not a honor, but almost a disgrace. Therefore I have also discarded that idea. Therefore the only institution left that I like is Columbia. I want to have your advise on the matter. I will have no chance to see you this summer, because I will be going up to Middlebury before you come down to Andover. But I will try to get down by Christmas time, if I do not have too much work to do. Trusting that you will have time to give me some sound advise [sic], I remain Sincerely yours Dr. Alfred E.

I am enclosing to you an account of my expenses for the three hundred dollars which you sent to me on June 4th. last. I hope it will be satisfactory. I am convinced that New York is an expensive place to stay I can not buy a decent meal here for less than eighty cents, and two meals a day besides a breakfast is very expensive. The room here is very high considering the room that is assigned. I was forced to take a very expensive room until just recently when a cheaper room became vacant. I have paid all the larger amounts such as fees for the summer session to Columbia. But the room rent, I have not fully paid, because of the lack of funds. I had some bills to pay at Middlebury before I left. I have now but 15.91 dollars left. That will last me about a week for meals and some little incidentals. But I must have some more money so that I can pay the rest of my room rent and be a little more at ease with my finance. I have been very 'Jewish' since I came to New York, but even then, I will have to have more. As for going to shows, etc., I only went to one with Mary and her Friends. We all bought our own tickets. I haven’t been to a single movie at all. The only places that I have been to is Columbia University, and a Chinese resturant [sic]. Not that I want to go to all the places, but I just want to show you that I have been very careful with the money. I have been studying at night every night, and so far I have accomplished surveying the history of the City Manager Plan of Government, and read two other books on Government. Please let me have the money by the middle of the next week at the latest. If I can have it by Wednesday, I will be really thankful. Sincerely yours Dr. Alfred E.

House Middlebury College Middlebury, Vermont March 20, 1929 Dr.Alfred E. Stearns Phillips Academy Andover, Mass My dear Dr. Stearns, Enclose please find the letter yesterday from Charlie Undoubtedly, I turn to you for advise and consolation. This is the first time that I have learned that father’s condition is rea serious and the letter came so suddenly while I was in a good mo strucks me especially hard. For the past few months I have known that my father has some trouble, but it never occurred to me that it was serious as to cause him unconscious. Unconsciousness for 24 hours is very dangerous specially for an old man like father. I hate to think of the slow expected end which might come as a consequence. This year has been a hard one for me. I have worked hard every day always looking forward for the day when I must leave all friends I have made here while in college and go home. I have not been home for nearly nine years, and sometimes I consider this is home--this country, because I have been so accustomed to the ways of this country, but yet my real home is in China, and it is there that I belong, and I am and have been hoping for the day when I will land on Chinese soil for the first time in ten years. I have been dreaming of the day when I start work with a young man’s vigor. While in college I have fought hard battles and won. I am happy because of the fact that I have won the battles which were hard. The battlew I fought were not entirely college work, but socially being the only oriental character in this part of the country. I have been sucessful, I think, ad now I am facing the rest of my college career with an empty heart. May be I should not feel that way, an- may be it is through my present stage of sentimentality that I am writing like this, but I can not help it. Please tell me how father’s condition is if you have heard more recently, and pleaseanswer by a special delivery, and please return the enclosed letter. Your very sincerely Dr. Alfred E.

They are as follows; Social Psychology- 86 Business Law-- 70 International Law—--81 Social efficiency——8l Economic Geography of Europe-- 86 Ave. 80.8 This is the highest average yet attained by me, and I think that I have done well considering the courses that I had. International Law and Business Law are the two hardest courses I ever had in one year. Last semester I got 72 in International Law, add I raised that mark to 81 for this semester. In Business Law, I dropped three points. I had an average well over eighty until I took the examination for which I got 50. That pulled my average way down. I am very disappointed in that courses. As a whole, my average improved by two whole points, and I am also satisfied as to the courses I took. They were well worth the while. I am here in Columbia for the Summer school. I haven’t decided yet what courses I will take yet, but I am sure that they will be in the Political science department. I have been thinking strongly to take some courses in International Law. I like it very much, and I sometimes think that I want to be a Diplomat rather than a Political Scientist. I realized the fact that the summer will be an expensive one for me. Whatever it costs, I value the Chinese friends whom I have met twice that amount, You do not know how much I appreciate Chinese association after four years of ‘isolation’. During those four years, I met not a single Chinese. Therefore I welcome this change to come into contact with them. Charlie came unexpectedly into my room last night. I understand that he plans to attend the Summer School at Columbia also. Mary left three days ago for New Haven where she had to resume her work. Very Sincerely yours Thomas Sun Dr. Alfred E.
