Stearns to Thomas Sun, New Haven, Conn., September 24, 1930 Relation A related resource Dear Tom: I am immensely interested in the contents of your letter of recent date. Of course, after the experience at Middlebury, you are bound to find a new and especially larger institution, as you would surely find a now and larger place, wholly different and in many spots, terribly disappointing. You have a complete readjustment to make, and that takes time and patience if it is to be made right in the end. I know you will find it hard sledding for a while, but I am equally confident that in a big university like Yale where there are scores, indeed hundreds, of good level-headed, red-blooded Americans, you will in time make contacts and find now and delightful friends. So don’t get discouraged, but keep your head up and tackle the main job that is yours just now. Of course, after the friendly contacts and complete understanding at Middlebury, it must hurt to have ignorant street urchins and thugs make uncomplimentary remarks to yon on the street. That, however, is something that all of us encounter the world over, and will so long as human nature in every race and every land develops its different types of humanity. I can well recall some of the comments, which I of course couldn’t understand exactly, but the significance of which was all too apparent, that were passed to me the first few times I strolled about the city of Peking. As long as human nature is in a measure perverse, as it surely is, and until the time when we come to realize that skin or color or race make the real man no hotter or no worse than he actually is in character and soul, so long must we face these disagreeable factors in life. Anyway, I am sure you are going to win out. Go to it as you would tackle a job on the football field with the determination that you don’t propose to be licked and that you will prove before the game is over that you are just as good as if not a bit better than the other follow.

Stearns, September 29, 1930 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Thomas Sun, New Haven, Conn., to Alfred E. Stearns, September 29, 1930 Relation A related resource My dear Mr. Stearns, Your good letter reached me Friday. I wholly appreciate your words of consolation, and I will attempt to live fully by your advice. I have already joined the New Haven Branch of Y.M.C.A. hoping in part to meet some people as well as some place where I may exercise. I also received letters from the Chinese Students Club of Yale asking me to join. All these activities seem to overwhelmed me, because they at first seemed to me as impossible in a larger place. As yet, I have had no classes. This afternoon, I start the academic year in earnest. All my work is concentrated in the field of Political Science, and two thirds of which is within the scope of Functional and Organizational Problems. I am also taking a course in Political theory. The Professors discourage me strongly in my proposal to try for the M.A. degree in one year. They informed me that it is almost next to impossibility. However, I will try to make it in one year and a half. The Yale requirement is "two years' of satisfactory work” regardless of how many courses are taken. If I go to some summer school during the summer, I may be able to make it, provided the professors will listen to my reason. That is if I don’t have to take German for my Doctor’s degree. I am beginning to feel rather at home in my own way—that is when I am alone. But when I go out for my meals or to the University, I am invariably a stranger usually beheld with interest or novelty, whereas a Chinese laundryman will pass by unnoticed. I find New Haven an extremely expensive place. All the stores have borne signs signifying loyalty to Yale students including banners, slogans, and some wen go as far as having a bullitin [sic] of activities to happen that day in Yale and the like. These stores literally abound in the town, and since they are all the stores, except women’s stores, they are all the ones of importance where the students must go for their supplies. The prices in them are exhorbant [sic]. I have met so far two Middlebury people and one old Andover student by the name of Tulley, a sophomore. I also saw Ted Avery and Johnny Sprigg, but they failed to recognized [sic] me. I went to New York yesterday to see Middlebury play Columbia and I met Jack Foster, and Johnny Phillips, both old Andover and Dartmouth football men. They were scouting Columbia. Of course during the game, I met a lot of old Middlebury students. I hope to settle down from now on till the end of the year with studies and will not probably notice my loneliness. I have not seen Mary or heard from her since last June. I went over and phoned her dormitory, and they informed me that she is in Providence. They said that she will be back shortly. Hoping that Andover will have another good year.

Stearns, October 20, 1930 Relation A related resource 350 Congress Ave. New Haven, Conn. Oct. 20, 1930 Dear Mr. Stearns, I suppose that you have been wondering why I haven't written you so long. I was at Butler then when I got back here-- I was put on night duty in isolation until today. I surely am glad that I can live like everyone else. I had a very interesting experience at Butler. In spite the black eyes and kicks that I got-- I enjoyed the work. This course made me realize why the mentally ill act as they do and the different situations that can cause the abnormal actions. I have developed more patience and sympathy with patients than I ever had before. I wish that I could have a longer course in it. I am sure that my country need psychiatry more than here. I had meet Dr. Ruggles and his lectures were very good and I enjoyed them ever so much. He certain is a marvellous person with the most unusual personality. Everyone who is at Butler thinks that he is just about perfect. He can handle the patients so well. Tom is here but I only have seen him once because I seldom have time off. He is feeling rather lonesome here -- doesn't like Yale. I believe Yale is too large for him.. I imagine he will get adjusted very soon. I am now working in pediatric isolation at present . We are very busy and have quite a few very sick children. Almost every day, we have one or two blood transfusions to keep the dying ones alive. We have some beautiful children on the wards. It make me feel badly to see some of them go. How have you been? I hope that everything is just fine with you. Oh, by the way, did I tell you that Arthur is now a father of a baby boy? My father and mother are very happy over it because he is the first grandson in the Sun family.

Stearns to Mary Sun, New Haven, Conn., October 21, 1930 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Mary Sun, New Haven, Conn., October 21, 1930 Relation A related resource Dear Mary: I have enjoyed immensely your letter, received this morning, and the story it tells of your work at Butler and your later work with the infant in your ward. It is a wonderful thing to be able to help those who are in trouble, whether that trouble be physical or mental, and I take immense satisfaction in the thought that you are going to be able to do just that among your own people in China in the years that still lie before you. So Arthur is a happy father! How the time flies, and how fast we all grow up! When you write him, give him my personal congratulations and good wishes, please. I hope you will be able to see something of Tom. Evidently he is a good bit homesick in New Haven, if I am to judge from the letters he has written me. and that is natural enough. He filled a big place in the life of the college at Middlebury, and the change is of the kind that is bound to bring something of a jolt. Tom's record at Middlebury was on the whole a fine one, much better, I think, in every way than I had dared hope it would be. But I was still hoping and believing, too, that after he gets adjusted at New Haven he will have a profitable and a happy experience there. When I am next down your way, which I hope will be soon, I shall certainly try to look you both up. In the meantime, success and the best of luck to you.

Stearns, October 20, 1930 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Charles Sun, London, to Alfred E. Stearns, October 20, 1930 Relation A related resource Dear Dr. Stearns, I am so sorry for not writing. I hope that you don't think that I have forgotten you. My work in the Legation is getting along as usual. I am beginning to be a little accustomed to London, which no longer seems so intolerable as before. I think that I have already told you about the trip I made to Paris in September during the week of vacation which our Minister was good enough to grant me. Paris is a very interesting city but I did not stay long, for there was not a soul in the city whom I knew. Mr. Spencer wrote me that he was spending his summer in France with Mrs. Spencer and asked me to call him up if I ever chanced to be there then I answered his letter a bit late and so missed seeing him. I have not heard from either Mary or Tom for a long time. A letter from one of my Chinese friends in America told me that Tom is studying in Columbia instead of Yale. The latest news from China which I have recently received may be of interest to you. It concerns some of the old Andover boys who were in the group that came to America between 1920 and 1923. First, my brother Arthur got a boy last August. He is working in the Special Shanghai Municipality Water Works. The pay is not only small but sometimes several months in arrears. He is naturally very much discouraged. Hin Chan, who is the smallest fellow in our group, is now working in a Chinese bank in Hong Kong. He married a Chinese Honolulu girl. Bill and Henry Yuan are both working in Tientsin, but I don’t know where. Tommy, their younger brother, was sent home last year about September; I am afraid he is not doing anything. Frank Lin, according to my latest informant, is no longer in Manchuria with Messrs. Butterfield and Swire Shipping Co. but is now working in Tientsin. I have absolutely no news about Quincy, who, the last I heard from him, was teaching in the Chekiang University, but I know he is no longer there now nor do I know where he is. Of course, I don’t know where Charlie Tsai is and what he is doing. May be you can tell me something about him. I am doing a lot of skating this winter, having joined a very good Ice Club here near Grosvenor House. It keeps my body fit and my mind from getting bored at things in general.
