Mary’s present school closes today, and I have been able to make temporary provision for her at the Sea Pines School at Brewster, Mass. It is just possible that, if this arrangement works out well and Mary is happy there, it may seem wise to allow her to stay through the summer session and give up the Cornell University plan. I have written Mr. Sze fully about this and shall await further word from him before deciding. In the meantime, I am none the less grateful for all your generous efforts in my behalf.

C. My dear Mr. Sze: Many thanks for your letter of May 27, which came at a most opportune time, for I have been a bit puzzled for the last few days to know Just what arrangements to rake for Mary Sun’s summer. Only last night I had a long talk with her present principal, as I recently discovered that Mary’s school closes early in June and that some final arrangements must, therefore, be speedily made. I have forwarded to Elmira full details of Mary’s work to date and am having filled out at this moment additional and supplementary papers sent me by the registrar of the College, so that they may have the information desired in proper form. Evidently this part of the arrangements can be considered as going through smoothly and according to the customary requirements of the College. I am writing to Miss French by this same mail in order to close matters for the summer. It seems to me that the Kenniston House arrangement at Cornell offers the most attractive proposition for Mary’s summer, and I am asking Miss French, therefore, if she will be willing to make arrangements for Mary there. Apparently I must find something for Mary between the date of the closing of her school and that time. It may seem best to let her come back to Andover, though I rather dread to do so, only because of the somewhat hysterical influences that might still have their effect on her. Again my thanks for your generous and most helpful assistance in what has proved a rather complicated and difficult problem. I wish you were going to be a bit nearer us during the summer but am, of course, very glad to feel that you will be within reasonable touch of Mary and can check up on the situation in case the arrangements made do not work out so well in practice and they would seem likely to do in prospect. I have been making inquiries for you in the hope of discovering something down on the South Shore that would meet your needs, but tins far without success. I mention this so that you may not think I have been unmindful of you and the suggestions you made to me about a summer home, and can only express my sincere regret that my efforts have not met with success. Frankly, I found that I had very few contacts with people who were, in touch with South Shore property conditions. I do hope, however, the plans you have arranged will prove in every way satisfactory to you and the other members of your household. I am returning Miss French's letter, as requested. Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E.

N. Y. My dear Miss French: This morning’s mail brings me a letter from Mr.Sze of Washington, in which he has been good enough to enclose your letter of May 25 to him. I am sorry that I have not fully appreciated, apparently, just what was expected of me in planning for the summer of my ward, Mary Sun. I had gathered the impression that Mr. Sze, who is familiar with conditions at Elmira was looking after the matter and would notify me when he was finally ready to make a recommendation. Evidently I have been remiss and should have followed the matter up myself. As I have just written Mr. Sze, the Kenniston House arrangement, with Miss Farnham as a chaperone, seems likely to meet the needs of the case. If I read your letter aright, a Miss Millan Fitzpatrick will act as tutor and I am, of course, glad to accept your judgment as to the character and ability of those whom you recommend. If you will kindly advise me what the expense will probably be, I shall be ready and glad to pat.my endorsement on the whole proposition. May I also ask you at how early a date Miss Sun can plan to take up her residence with Ithaca. I find that Miss Sun’s present school closes early in June, and I hope there will not be too long a period intervening between that late and the beginning of the new life and work at Ithaca, for this is, as you know, an extremely busy time for those connected with educational institutions, and I shall find it a bit difficult to provide temporary accommodations and interests for Miss Sun during that time. Naturally I should like to have Miss Sun start at Ithaca as soon as practicable, and she, herself, has expressed this wish. As to the amount of tutoring, I can’t speak with any great definiteness. My impression is that Miss Fitzpatrick will have to feel her way a little and decide, after personal observation, the nature and extent of the work required. I shall be ready, however, to meet any reasonable charge. Mary’s tutor will find, I think, that the girl can be depended upon to do a good deal of conscientious work by herself, once direction and guidance have been given her. Thanking you most heartily for the generous interest you are taking in this case and assuring you of my desire to cooperate in every possible way, believe me Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

May I trouble you to have these filled out, so far as possible, and returned to me before they are sent to Elmira. I am sorry to have to bother you so much with the details of Mary’s admission to college, but evidently this is one of the rather exacting duties that falls upon the heads of schools at this particular time of year. Very Sincerely yours, Alfred S. Stearns P. S. Kindly return all the papers, including the instruction sheet. The Committee on Admission to Elmira College has received your application. Since the number of candidates for admission exceeds the number the College is prepared to educate, the Trustees have limited the number of entering students. This committee has, therefore, been empowered to make a selection from those applicants who have satisfied the scholastic entrance requirements as set forth in the Catalogue of Elmira College. As a basis of selection, the Committee will consider the candidate’s scholarship, character, and seriousness of purpose. Decisions will be reached after a comparative evaluation of the claims of all applicants. In order to assist the Committee in this selection, you are asked to fill out the enclosed blank and to return it immediately. Unless specifically requested, no acknowledgment of your reply will be given until your application has been considered. Prior to final action the Committee must receive: 1. A notification from the Registrar of the College that you have made a deposit of $5.00 for registration fee. 2. A notification from the Registrar of the College that you have satisfied in full the scholastic requirements for entrance; 3. The return of the enclosed blank, properly and completely filled out. The Committee will inform candidates of their prospects as rapidly as possible after requirements 1 and 3 have been met. Send replies to Registrar, Elmira College, Elmira, N. Y. Dr. Alfred E.

Mr. Sze and his friends out there are working on this problem and hope to advise me soon of a suitable place for your turner residence and work. I am glad that this is what you also prefer to do. Just when does Arthur’s commencement come? If we can fit that into the program properly, it will, of course, be done. I hope the check has reached you by this time.

Russell Whittier School Merrimac, Mass. My dear Mrs. Russell: Thank you heartily for sending me the information about Mary’s work at Abbot and with you. This is just the material that Elmira College desires, and I am forwardly it to the College this morning. Only yesterday I received a most gratifying letter from the President of Elmira, acknowledging the receipt of my formal application for Mary’s admission next fall and telling me that they were ready to take her in on my recommendation, even though she might fall to pass all the regular entrance tests. I am not sure that it is rise to mention this to Mary for the present, for my understanding with the College authorities is that Mary will continue her work during the summer so as to bring herself as near as possible by September to the standards regularly imposed on the girls who enter. Mary writes me that her work with you ends June 3, and I am a bit at a loss to know just what arrangements to make for her for the rest of June. My own house and time will be terribly crowded during those closing days of the school year here, and it will be difficulty to provide for Mary under these circumstances; and I am not at all anxious for her to be hanging around Andover with extra time on her hands and in such close and intimate contact with the influences emanating from Abbot and elsewhere which have already caused me so much unnecessary trouble. If it is not practicable for Mary to continue work with you beyond the date mentioned, I shall try to make arrangements for her to go at once to Elmira and start operations there with a member of the faculty with whom I hope to have her continue work during the summer.

By all means make Mamie Sze a white flannel coat, if she wants it and you can spare the time to do it. I do not think you ought to attempt anything outside of your school work until the current term is over anyway. If you want to work it in later, well and good. The best way, I think, would be for you to order the flannel from Boston and have the bill sent to me. Mrs. Russell will be glad to guide you in the matter. I am sure. I don't quite know what to say about your summer. June 3rd is a very early date to get through school, and, as you know, that will be the busiest time of the year here, for our own commencement will be only two weeks ahead. I am inclined to think that it would be well for you to go on at once to Elmira, if we find the right place, and get started on your work out there. Possibly, too, Mrs. Russell would be willing to keep you two or three weeks longer at Merrimac. Anyway, we can settle this a bit later. I am sending you in advance the allowance for June so that you will have something to cover the incidentals to which you refer. Please find out from Mrs. Russell what you ought to give the servants in tips, for there is a wide difference of opinion in natters of this kind and it is foolish for you to overdo the thing, though perfectly proper that you should do what is right Ever sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Mary Sun
