I think you are right in believing that your countrymen are altogether too much inclined to attach excessive importance to the name of an American institution regardless of the quality of the work the institution supplies or the standing of the individual graduate concerned. However, I am perfectly willing to accept Professor Bradley’s recommendation and approve your choice of the University of Michigan for your graduate work. Michigan stands among the very best of our State Universities. With all good wishes, believe me Faithfully yours, Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alfred E.

First of all, I must know what marks you are likely to be able to present to Wellesley or Mount Holyoke College from Elmira at the end of the year. Please send me at once copies of your marks to date covering each year you have been in college, for I must have these in order to present your claims. Another thing, in view of your father’s recently expressed willingness to allow you to take the nursing course, if such a plan meets with my approval, are you wise in planning a doubtful transfer or would it be better to consider seriously the nursing course at Yale? If the latter, will you have sufficient credits as the result of year Elmira work to gain admission next fall? These are the questions that must be definitely decided before I shall feel justified in presenting your case at either of the colleges in question or in sanctioning finally the Nursing School plan. So please write me promptly and fully, for we can’t afford to delay much longer lest we lose out all around.

Certainly the spirit in which you have written warms the cockles of my heart and makes me feel that whatever annoyance or trouble I may have had to undergo at times in connection with my American guardianship has, after all, been more than worth while. Personally, I have taken immense satisfaction in your development and progress during these last few years. I have told you this more than once and am glad to repeat it now. That is one of the chief reasons I have been ready to take up the cudgels for you in your desire to return to your native land. I do hope that after you have passed through the readjustment stage, which I know is going to be a hard and trying one for you, you will settle down and give your country the best that is in you. There is a great work to be done by fellows like you who are able and ready to turn their talents and best efforts unreservedly into the kind of work and service that China requires in these difficult times, and I am counting on you to take the lead.

Stearns to Mary Sun, Elmira College, May 3, 1928 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Mary Sun, Elmira College, May 3, 1928 Relation A related resource My dear Mary: I have read with interest your letter of April 30 just received, and, as requested, I am sending you a check to cover general expenses during the weeks ahead. By all means see what you can obtain from Mount Holyoke and Smith Colleges in the way of admission on transfer. I should much prefer to have you in one of these institutions, especially the former, even at the expense of a year’s standing. Let me know just soon as you hear from them and tell me exactly what they have to say. Perhaps it might even help if in your letters you referred them to me as your American guardian and suggested that they write me for further information. I know pretty intimately both President Woolley and President Neilson and might be able to secure their personal interest in your case, and this would help. It may interest you to know that your father in a letter which I received from him only a week or two ago spoke with some favor of the possibility of the nursing course for you. He asked for further information on the matter and said that he had evidently never received the letter in which I pleaded strongly that you be allowed to take a course of this kind. Under the circumstances I did not think that that possibility need be considered longer as altogether out of the question, though frankly I am inclined to feel that, if you can secure admission to Mount Holyoke, for example, and without too serious a loss, it would perhaps be better for you to finish up the general college course. Following that, it might seem wise to round out your education with a year or two of studying nursing. Anyway, I shall await with keen interest the replies from your inquiries at Mount Holyoke and Smith. What about Wellesley? Miss Pendleton, the President, I know perhaps the best of any of the women’s college residents, and I am sure she would deal as generously with the case as conditions would permit. If your father wishes you to take typewriting, I think you ought to get started as soon as possible, but, of course, you can’t do that very well without running a typewriter yourself. For the present my impression is that you would do well to buy a portable machine. Doubtless there is someone connected with your faculty who directs this work and who will perhaps be better able than I to recommend the best kind of a machine for your special needs.
