I am writing your father by this same mail and am telling him that I heartily approve of the decision to allow you to return home this coming summer. By all means come down here for a day or two after you have cleaned up the slate at Amherst. I shall want to see you and talk things over before you start on the lone journey home.

Box 93 Amherst, Mass. Dear Charlie: Thank you for your note received this morning. I am glad that the examinations are out of the way and hope that means that you will not be working under quite such a strain for the next few weeks, at least. It is difficult for me to find out just how Mary is going in her work, though I have tried on numerous occasions to get the information desired. My impression is that she is really doing a bit better than at the start. At least, though some of her marks, when last I received them, were so seemingly low as to prompt me to write a somewhat severe letter to her. I felt that if she could or would not do well in work which she professed to like so much and which she had been allowed to take only reluctantly, as you know. XX her father and largely because of my own personal pleadings, there was certainly room for real anxiety. Mary always has a good excuse to offer for her failures, and she gave me seemingly good excuses for the low marks in question. If they do not improve by the end of this year, however. I shall seriously question whether Mary ought to stay in this country longer or attempt to go forward in her work. I am due in Amherst the latter part of this month for a Sunday and shall certainly hope to have a chance to talk this all over with you in person. Faithfully yours, AES/G Charles Sun Dr. Alfred E.

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.

Dear Charlie: By a curious coincidence, at the very time that I was reading your letter this morning, there was placed on my desk a cable message just received from your father which reads as follows: “Please tell Charlie wait America till arrival my letter bringing him good news”. Of course, I don’t know just what this means, but I am passing it on to you as requested, and I can only hope that the “good news” when it does come will be all to your liking. I am hoping to see you at Amherst over the weekend, though I am not yet quite sure when I can be there, as our own Commencement comes Friday and the final faculty meeting is the next day. Please send your trunk in care of my office here and we will put it in one of the store-rooms down- stairs awaiting your arrival. It will be much safer there than in my collar.

Mass. Dear Charlie: Thank you for your good letter received this morning. I am returning the list of studies, etc., as requested, and am prepared to endorse generally your selection of studies for the coming college year. If I were to raise any question, it would be in the matter of the Greek, for, while I am a keen believer in the value of Greek to the average student. I am not so sure that the investment of time and effort required of a foreigner, who must necessarily work with two foreign languages instead of one. is worth the struggle. Of course if you like the Greek and find it not too difficult, I am sure you will profit by it. I don't quite understand what you mean by your note "required of me". If you have to take it, that is another matter, but unless there are some very unusual conditions involved. I can't for the life of me understand why Amherst College should make Greek a requirement for a foreigner. Frankly, I am inclined to raise a row at the College Office if this is a fact. I also agree with you in your preference for Philosophy over the other two subjects mentioned under No. 3; but the value of a course in Philosophy depends more than anything else upon the character and point of flow of the instructor. With some instructors you would be far better off to leave the subject ahbieoly alone; with others, if they are men of high ideals and spiritual as well as intellectual power, Philosophy becomes perhaps the most stimulating subject in the whole list. It was a certainly that and more in my day in Amherst College under Professor Garman. The above are only suggestions, of course, add shall be ready to accept your final judgment, for I know that your judgment is regularly sound. If I can help you further, however, do not hesitate to let me know. I am still a bit upset about Mary’s surfer plans. Mr. Sze suggests that she go to Ithaca, N.Y., and live in a woman’s dormitory there while tutoring. At first this seemed to be the best thing in sight, but I must frankly admit that I do not quite like the idea of It, especially in view of the floating population and somewhat easy-going ways that are regularly associated with college summer schools. For the moment I have arranged for her to go to the Sea Pines School at Brewster, Mass, down on Cape Cod. This is an unusually nice place, and the women in charge are exceptionally high grade people. Very possibly, if things work out well for the rest of the month, it may best to have Mary stay right there for the summer. I can’t help feeling that it would be a much more stimulating place for her, physically. Intellectually, and spiritually. I have written Mr. Sze this morning and shall await further suggestions from him before settling things definitely. Arthur is coming up to see me to-morrow, and I shall talk with him along the lives you mentioned. If Mary were at Sea Pines, there would very probably be some good place down on the Cape where you and Arthur could stay and yet not be too far away. Do run out and see me when you can.

The amount of insurance has been $500.00 and the annual premium $3.00. Since some of you have left the house and your goods are necessarily a bit scattered, it does not seem wise to ne to continue the policy longer.

I appreciate deeply a personal invitation like yours, especially when it comes from you in whose work I have taken so much pride and in whom personally I have such complete confidence. As a matter of fact, my classmates are begging me to come back for our thirty-fifth anniversary, which comes this year, and the Trustees, who meet at the Commencement season, are insisting that I be present at that meeting. It looks, therefore, as if I would be in Amherst at least for a part of the festivities, though as you can guess this will be the very busiest season of the year for me here in Andover. with every best wish, believe me always Faithfully yours, AKS/G Thcl. - check Charles Sun Dr. Alfred E.

My dear Charlies: Please pardon my delay in answering your recent letter, but I have been somewhat at a loss to know just what to say. naturally I am disturbed a bit to learn that you have been ill, but trust that you are fully recovered by this time and that your health will keep strong and vigorous from now on. A word about the summer. I can’t quite figure out an available and satisfactory job for you and your friend at the Academy during the summer vacation. We always have a boy or two at the office to run errands, etc., but naturally wo are accustomed to take one of the scholarship boys here on the ground. Even so, I doubt whether this kind of work would prove very stimulating or remunerative. If I hear of anything that sounds at all promising, I shall follow it up and advise you promptly. On the whole, the summer school proposition appeals to me, except for the fact that I really believe that you ought to plan to rest and relax for a fair portion of the summer anyway. A fellow that works conscientiously as you do during the college year is not only entitled to but is sure to profit by a few weeks of complete rest and change. I am sure your father would agree with me. When college closes, run down here for a few days and we can talk things over. Possibly I may be up in Amherst myself at commencement time, and, if you are still there, we can discuss plans then. In the meantime keep me posted if anything new develops or you desire further help from me. With all kinds of good wishes to you, believe me Ever sincerely yours, Charles Sun Dr. Alfred E.

In every great social upheaval excesses are bound to occur, and we often hear more of the excesses than we do of the real things beneath the surface that are going on and that eventually are to count for the most. So don't you let this worry you unduly, and make the most of this opportunity to store knowledge and develop habits and traits and ideals that will the better fit you to play a big and significant part in the reconstruction already just ahead.
