Stearns, Home Camp, Pittsburg, New Hampshire, September 3, 1930 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Thomas Sun, Middlebury, Vermont, to Alfred E. Stearns, Home Camp, Pittsburg, New Hampshire, September 3, 1930 Relation A related resource Dear Mr. Stearns, As I said in my last letter to you, I am herewith submitting to you a budget which I plan to follow at yale this year. The following are the figures which I estimated to be expenses. These figures, however are for one term only, namely till Christmas. Not knowing the conditions, I am rather skeptical about making estimates too far ahead. I am sure, however, there will be little difference among the three terms. Tuition 300.00 Registration 5.00 Room, 2 weeks in sept. 5.50 11.00 Room, Oct. 1--Dec. 18. 6.0 66.00 Board, sept 17-Dec. 18 150.00 Laundry 20.00 General expenses 200.00 752.00 Due to the lack of knowledge of the conditions, expenses, down there, I present the above only as the rough estimate of my expenses. The tuition of three hundred dollars, probably is payable in two payments at the beginning of each semester. That will make it one hundred and fifty dollars instead of three hundred, for the first term, and another hundred and fifty during the second term. The Board bill of 150.00 seems large at first, but at second glance, it is different. The first term (from fall till Christmas) covers thirteen weeks. The 150.00 dollar appropriation is only slightly more than eleven dollars per week. I was down there for three days, and I tried every resturant [sic] and diner cart, and it is just almost impossible to get a decent meal for less than seventy-five cents. The two hundred dollar general excense item seems strange. In that I included everything such as fees here and there, tickets to football games, gym fees, subscription to yale papers, magazines, etc. Every little odds and ends are included in this item. My meager knowledge of things down there, although I have been down there is against the budget. I trust you know more about New Haven than I do, and I home that you will use your judgement in giving me the money that I will have to have for the first term. The banks down there require a balance of one hundred dollars all the time, otherwise, a fine of five dollars is imposed or they won’t even keep the account. Give me what you will and what you consider enough to meet the expenses down there. I am leaving the matter to you to decide. I am going to be in Middlebury for about a week more, and then I think I will be going to New Haven to await the opening of school down there. The reason is because there is nothing to do here. If you will send me the money here to me in Middlebury, please do so within a week or send it so that I will receive it before next Wednesday. After, I may be in New Haven, or in New York, or some other place, I don’t know where. So it is best to send the money to me here, and when I go down to New Haven, I can deposit it in a bank down there. Please let me hear from you in the near future. sincerely yours Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Thomas Sun Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Phillips Academy Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource September 3, 1930 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource All Rights Reserved by Phillips Academy Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Correspondence Dr. Alfred E.

Stearns to Mary Sun, Cornell University, July 8, 1927 Relation A related resource My dear Mary: I have just received a most distressing letter from the Dean of Elmira College. Miss Harris, who tells me that she is writing you in the endeavor to stir your pride and induce you to apply yourself as you should to your college work. She tells me further that you would have been dismissed from the college this spring if you had not been a foreigner, and she adds that your whole trouble rises from your social inclination and the fact that you waste your time deplorably. Just why this information was not sent me long ago, I don't know. I am protesting that I should have been kept more fully and promptly advised of your situation and that in the future I shall expect that this will be done. On the other hand, this doesn't in any way release you from the responsibility that properly rests on you to make better use of your time from now on, to eliminate whatever social activities are interfering with your work, and to save yourself from the possibility even of the lasting disgrace that would be brought on you and your family if you were to be dismissed from college because of your unwillingness to do the work required of you. I can't believe that you would openly court a disaster such as this, knowing what it would mean to you as well as to your home, and I am hoping that the hard work you will do this summer will, in part at least, offset the losses of the past year and enable you to take up your work at Elmira next fall in an utterly changed frame of mind and with that vigor of which I know you are perfectly capable.

Stearns to Thomas Sun, Middlebury, Vermont, September 15, 1930 Relation A related resource Dear Tommie: Your letter of September 3 reached me just as I was breaking up camp in the north country, and I have been too busy since my return to Andover to attend to the matters discussed in it until today. I admit that the budget you have submitted looks a bit large, but I admit also that in a wholly new environment one cannot estimate very closely in advance just what expenses will turn up. It seems to me probably best to send the larger part of the account you have specified, leaving out only the second installment on the tuition, which, as you have inferred, will not be due until later in the college year. All I can do is to ask you to exercise every reasonable care in incurring expenses, for we must find a way somehow to offset by economies the extra expense involved in the car and its operation. Otherwise I am sure your father would object, and very seriously, to my leniency in permitting you this luxury, for luxury it would certainly seem to him. I am sending this letter and check to Middlebury, since I do not yet know your New Haven address, and trusting that you will keep your good friends there informed of your whereabouts so that the letter may be duly forwarded to you wherever you are at this time. The moment you have a settled address in New Haven, please let me have it.

Stearns, July 7, 1927 Relation A related resource My dear sir, I am writing by this mail to Miss Sun, a student at Elmira College last year. The object of the letter to her is to stir her pride and induce her to apply herself as she should to her work. We should have dismissed her this spring were it not for the fact that she is a foreigner contending with the English language and therefore at a disadvantage special to such students. The language is however not her most evident handicap. That is her own social inclination. She wastes time deplorably. If you have influence you can bring to bear to induce her to really go to work I think it will be a kindness to her and we at Elmira will be spared the embarrassment of having to dismiss her at next mid-years.

Originally I would have gone down to either New Haven or some other place yester day or earlier, but due to the fact that I have not yet received the money I asked from you has about two weeks ago, I am still here. I hoped to get it last Saturday at the latest so I could start that right, but my plans were all changed since. I think I asked for $750.00 that includes tuition of $300.00 in one payment or two, I do not know. I have looked in the catalogue, but no satisfaction was forthcoming. I am staying here till the money comes, I hope it will be no later than Thursday morning. I sent the other letter to Pittsburg, N.H., and it probably had gone astray, in which case, I ask your forgiveness. In case you have send the money, please ignore this note.

Harris, Dean, Elmira College, July 8, 1927 Relation A related resource My dear Miss Harris: The contents of your letter of July 7, just received, have given me something of a shock, for I have had no indication whatever from the authorities of Elmira College up to the present time that any such situation existed as that you now report in connection with my ward. Miss Mary Sun. I visited Elmira during the past winter and talked with a number of the officers, including the President, with the express purpose of discovering just what progress Miss Sun was making. From all sides I received ensuring reports. Miss Sun herself was the only one who expressed misgiving as to how successfully she was making the college grade. The Chinese Minister at Washington wrote also to some personal friend of his on your faculty at a time when Miss Sun seemed a bit depressed, and he reported to me that he had received only reassuring replies. Under the above circumstances I am sure that you will agree that I have a right to be a bit surprised at the nature of your letter just received. Needless to say I shall do my best to impress upon Miss Sun the absolute necessity of getting down to hard work from now on, though I shall find it very difficult to explain why I have found it necessary to assume this attitude towards her just now when during the year, and as I supposed with the full approval of the college authorities. I was endeavoring to encourage her to commend her faithfulness, and to dissuade her from believing that college work was beyond her grasp. I trust that during the coming year you will advise me frankly and promptly if Miss Sun's work and attitude are not measuring up to your customary standards. Very sincerely yours.

Stearns, September 21, 1930 Relation A related resource My dear Dr. Stearns, As you may see I am now located in New Haven at the above adress [sic]. I am here awaiting the opening of Yale University, right at the present moments, I am very busy with unpacking and tryong [sic] to get settled so that I will have no worries during the year. After Middlebury, New Haven impresses rather queer. I am not so sure whether I will like the town. It is a typical college town along the same line as Middlebury but on a larger scale. But the attitude of the people here is strikingly different from that of Middlebury. I have lost count of just how many times I was yelled at in the streets as follows "Hello, there, you Chink". Knowing such remarks are not forthcoming from the better type of people, I did not pay much attention to them, but after a while, it becomes a little annoying, and so far I have been able to withstand such fun-making using as much diplomacy as possible,— but there is liable to be a breaking point to my sensitive nature. Everywhere I go, I was gazed at as a newcomer into the ranks of the exclusive. I am not at all at ease. I have been trying as much as I can to be nice to them, but that only makes me more conspicious. I am really at loss as to what to do. As a result, I have been in my room all the time when I am not out for meals, which is really a necessity when I must go out onto the streets. Physically, I am comfortably settled, but mentally, I am not. All the other Chinese students in town as what any American might picture them to be--sloppy, lazy, meekly and whatnot. Since I am a new comer into the ranks of them, I was not favorably received by the students here or by anybody. After a while it might prove a little discouraging. But, however, I am here to stay till something drastic happens. Other Chinese students endured it, and there is no reason why I can not. I haven’t met a single soul I know as yet, and chances are that I shall not if the attitude continues. Of course, in a larger college, one can not expect to know everyone. At the same time, I like to know someone who is worth knowing. I think I will join the Y.M.C.A. By that I hope to make some acquantances [sic] with the better elements of New Haven. I also received a bid from the Cosmopolitan Club of Yale University which is a club formed by the foreign students of Yale University, with which I do not know what to do. All my courses are concentrating in the department of Political Science. They promise to be hard, and I hope that I will be able to swing them all right.
