It is the case here that we are ready to accept the study of the Chinese classics in lieu of Latin provided we can get some acceptable assurance that it has been a practical equivalent in character and amount to our requirement in Latin. This would mean a minimum of five years actual "classical" study in Chinese. If there is any way in which Mr. Tsai can present documents showing such preparation we will be very happy to credit him.

The Dental Department of the University of California is an excellent school and is in the unclassified list, the other two being Cincinnati College of Dental Surgery and Texas Dental College neither of which should I be willing to recommend* Japan has several excellent schools, but of course it would not do to suggest that a Chinese attend a Japanese school. I am in accord with your opinion that there should be some responsible school where foreign students who do not fulfill to the "letter" all requirements for admission to Class A schools might be able to get a limited background in dentistry that would enable them to give Mr. Stearns much needed service in their native country.

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 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.

Stearns, November 10, 1926 (regarding Arthur Sun) Relation A related resource My dear Dr. Stearns: I was most interested to have your letter of November 9th this morning. The pleasure of giving any worthy youngster a start, as you know yourself, carries its own compensation. For a Chinese boy to come over here and graduate at Technology means that he has something in him; and in the vernacular of the second American language, I’ve got my hat off to him.” I have often told my own sons, John and Bill they have all the advantage, and while I am always glad to render any help I can, that help will be withdrawn unless I have a very positive manifest of their first willingness to help themselves. They know that they have got to get through Andover on their own recognizance, and I truly believe that they realize and appreciate that fact - but I am degressing [sic]. When I talked with my friend, Thaddeus Merriman about Sun, he seemed to think that the wiser plan would be for Sun not to get a position with an operating organization for the reason that he would be assigned to a very specific and minor line of work, which might last for some time; but rather to get associated with some well recognized consulting firm of sanitary engineers, where the diversity of work would give him a broader experience of planning, designing, and with the undoubted opportunity of observing the fruition of these plans and designs. He expressed the same feeling that I had, that such a position would combine a sort of post graduate course with practical experience over a diversified field, and better fit him for future responsible work along these lines in his own country. I believe, too, that the step he has made is very constructive, since now holding an actual position with the Metropolitan District Commission, it puts him in a stronger position to approach Messrs. Metcalf & Eddy and Messrs. Weston & Sampson for his conference. Undoubtedly the Metropolitan District Commission will be glad to assist in any step along these lines that he may make. I wrote my friend, Dr. D.C. Jackson who is head of the department of electrical engineering at Technology telling him about Sun, and I have had a letter from him saying that he wants to meet this young man himself, and is arranging to give him an appointment. As I have written you before, I am very much looking forward to meeting him myself, for you have gotten me warmed up on him, and when once that sort of thing happens, I find it difficult to cool off. I am afraid I am in dutch with the boys on not going up to see the Andover-Exeter game next Saturday, but I have to be in Washington on that day. However, it is not necessary for me to say whom I am betting on. Very sincerely yours, WSM:R Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource William S.

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.

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.
