Dear Charlie I have read with the keenest Interest your letter received this morning and am very glad to know that your father has finally decided to allow you to make the decision in regard to returning home. It seems to me that he is wise in doing this, and I am sure that you will do what you yourself consider wisest in the matter. Frankly, I believe you ought to go back at the end of your college course. If after being at home a few months or a year and having a chance to look over the situation for yourself at first hand you feel that some further and specialised work in this country would fit you better to serve your country later, then it will be within your proper province to come back again. If not, I am sure that you will at least be able and eager to render valuable service to China at a time of great need on the basis of your training and study to date. Frankly, it seems to me that what the new government in China needs more than anything else just now is men of high ideals and sterling character who will stand against every insidious influence for honesty and justice in public as in private life. Since I am confident that you are made of that fine stuff, I cannot help feeling that you will render a bigger service to your country through your personal influence than you will even through your knowledge of economic laws and your study of economic problems. It was certainly fine to have that little chat with you up at Amherst last week, and I regret more than I can say that they kept me so busy that day that I had no chance to see more of you and talk over your problems in greater detail. If you care to discuss these further, can’t you run out hero for a day at least during the coming Easter holidays? In the hope that I am not advising you wrongly and with the confidence that I and your many friends are going to have increasing grounds for pride in you throng your later achievements and influence, believe me Ever faithfully yours, Charles Sun Dr. Alfred E.

The reports received from the boys thus far this year have been highly gratifying. Mary's record still troubles me, and I have had some very frank correspondence with her dean at the Yale Nursing school to discover, if possible, just where the trouble lies. Apparently Mary finds some of the subjects which she has to study in connection with her work very difficult, though she seems perfectly competent to handle the practical end of her tasks. Mary herself feels that she will be able to improve her work as she becomes better acquainted with the subjects on her schedule, and I am hopeful that this will prove true and that I shall be able, therefore,to send you more encouraging reports before the year is over. with kindest personal regards, believe me Very sincerely yours.

Box 93 Amherst, Mass. Dear Charlie: I have your letter of February 18. and am enclosing a check to replenish your depleted bank account, as requested. We will talk over details when I see you a couple of weeks hence. I should be very reluctant to go back to the monthly installment plan, for you are old enough now to handle your own finances, if you are ever going to do it, successfully,and the experience which you are getting in having your own bank account and discovering how easily it may shrink will be of value to you all through your later life. Further, I am sure that you will not knowingly abuse the privilege of handling your funds in this way, even though you may make mistakes at times.

My dear Mary: I have this morning received your letter and in the same mail one from Dean Goodrich. I have just written Miss Goodrich expressing my approval of the plan to have you secure special tutoring in your Physiology. If with this outside help you are not able to bring your standing up to the proper grade, I think we shall be reluctantly compelled to agree that we must give up the idea of any further education for you in America. I should hate to do this, but I can't see how any other conclusion could properly be reached. What troubles me most is the intimation given by your Dean, an intimation which I also received from your Dean at Elmira, that you have not done work of a grade commensurate with your real ability. Perhaps they are mistaken but I did hope and believe, because of your seeming interest in nursing, that you would convince everyone from the start that you were giving yourself heart and soul to your studies, even though you might not be able to attain a high rank in them. Anyway, the thing to do now is to see Miss Goodrich at once and secure a good tutor. Never mind the expense. Before everything else you must establish your standing in the Yale School and not face the possibility of having to drop out of the end of the year. Very sincerely yours. AES/G Dr. Alfred E.

Goodrich 330 Cedar Street New Haven, Conn. My dear Miss Goodrich: The morning’s mail brings me your letter of February 15 and one of the same date from our friend Mary Sun. Needless to say the news conveyed in both letters is not altogether pleasing. I am writing Mary advising her to follow your suggestions and to arrange for immediate tutoring in Physiology, for I agree with you that this should not be postponed until a brief summer vacation. I am assuming that you will be able and willing to recommend a competent tutor for Miss Sun. Mary's father is perfectly capable to bear the expense, and I am sure it is a legitimate one in view of the conditions that confront us at the moment. Mary's record at Yale has been a keen disappointment to me, and I have about given up trying to fathom her mind and purpose. Her father has always been extremely anxious that she should get a college degree in this country from one of our best colleges for women. It seemed very doubtful for several years whether Mary would be able to meet such high standards. I made a special trip to Washington to talk the matter over with Mr. Sze, the Chinese Minister, who is a personal friend of Mr. Sun, and on his recommendation entered Mary in Elmira College out in New York State. She was seemingly unhappy there from the start and floundered pretty steadily in her work. The Dean at Elmira gave me reports almost identical to yours and intimated that Mary had much more ability than she professed or than her achievements indicated. All of this time Mary was constantly pleading with me to be allowed to study nursing. Her father, being an old-fashioned Chinese, could not look upon nursing as a high grade profession. I vigorously advocated the plan to study nursing, however, believing that Mary would be able to do her best under the influence and inspiration of this profession. When she was a member of my household a few years ago, she impressed everyone there with her natural gifts in this direction. I finally succeeded in persuading Mr. Sun that this was the proper thing for Mary to do, and he gave his consent. You can understand, therefore, that it is tremendously disturbing to me to feel that Mary is not doing her best in this particular work for which she claims such a deep interest and in which she unquestionably has talent. Mary's older brother who is at Amherst and who is a sterling follow is as much disturbed over the situation as I am and is inclined to agree with me that if at the end of the year Mary shows that she cannot or will not meet the proper requirements of your school, she should be sent back to China. Anyway, I shall await with keen interest the results of the new arrangement and shall hope most earnestly to hear that Mary io making real progress with the assistance of such outside help as she may be able to secure under your guidance and approval. Very sincerely yours. Annie W. Goodrich Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Mary Sun
