In the meantime I hope you can be patient with Mary until I can get at least one more reaction from the father and in the hope that that reaction may enable us to handle the case in a way that will tend to arouse Mary's fast lagging ambition and give her a new start.

That League of Nations assembly must have been a wonderfully interesting as well as instructive occasion, and I am delighted to know that you had a part in it.

Stearns to Dean M.A. Harris, Elmira College, April 10, 1928 Relation A related resource My dear Miss Harris: I have your formal notice of the Dean’s warning given to my ward, Mary Sun. I am wondering if you would be willing to write me frankly just what Mary’s difficulties seem to be and what advice you have to offer that would perhaps aid us in contributing to their remedy. Naturally I feel a pretty big responsibility for these foreign wards of mine, and Mary has always been a problem. On the whole, though, when she was here she worked hard at her studies, but I have never been able to feel that she had given her best to the work at Elmira, and largely, I judge, because of no real interest in it. She has pleaded for several years now to be allowed to study nursing, a plan of which her father has never approved. On the other hand, she has often expressed her lack of enthusiasm for the work which she is doing, and I am afraid that it is the reflection of this attitude that accounts in large measure for the poor results. I am anxious, however, to do everything I can to help the girl avoid a real disaster, for a failure to meet the college requirements would, as you know, be far more seriously regarded by upper-class Chinese parents than it would by American fathers and mothers.

Stearns to Byron Clark, State Committee of Young Men's Christian Associations (YMCAs) of Vermont, Burlington, April 5, 1928 Relation A related resource My dear Mr. Clark: I have your letter of April 3 and the accompanying blank inquiring about Charles K.H. Sun, a Chinese ward of mine now at Amherst College. I have filled out the blank and am returning it herewith, but I can’t refrain from adding a personal word in Sun’s behalf. Charles Sun is a rare boy, a fine scholar, a perfect little gentleman. and as clean and wholesome as they are made. He comes from one of the best families in China, his father having served during the war as Head of the Chinese Red Cross and as heads of various other philanthropic organizations both before and since the war. Charlie lived in my house for several years while he was in school here, and I know him in consequence pretty intimately and this leads me to recommend him to you almost without reservation. I am sure you would find him a wonderfully helpful member of your force, and I am sure, too, that it would be a splendid thing for your boys to get this intimate and friendly contact with such a clean-cut and wholesome representative of his race. It helps mightily to break down prejudices and that’s worth a good deal in itself. Further, he is qualified to enter actively and enthusiastically into the general activities, athletic and others, of camp life. He is a good swimmer, an excellent soccer player, and a good fellow on the trail. Don’t let him get away from you; at least that would be my advice.

This will make it possible for you to handle the matter through your own funds and will not force me to send the detailed statement to your father. In other words, I am remitting you a lump sum towards your general expenses. Out of that you will pay the Company and in time you should be able to make reimbursements for the expenses, in part at least, through your own efforts, as you have already suggested. Please note in the second paragraph how the checks should be made out. Send them all to Mr. Hatch, the writer of the enclosed letter, at the address given in Springfield The AEtna Insurance Company, and then please return Mr. Hatch’s letter to me. I already have the waivers to which he refers, but they will not be operative, of course, until the money has been received by the Aetna Co.

The problem you raise is too big for me to attempt to aid you in solving it through the media of a letter. My suggestion is that you plan to come down here during your Easter holiday so that we can have a chance to talk the thing out face to face. Frankly, though, I don’t see how you are going to keep your Chinese up much better if you drift to New York or some other center where there are more of your countrymen unless you do it at the expense of the college work which is your main job for the moment. I can not believe that your case can be very different from that of many Chinese boys who have been here before you and who on the return to their native land, while embarrassed a bit at first, have easily and promptly been able to revive and make use again of their native tongue.
