Dear Sir:- On my return to Andover after an absence of a few days I find your letter of the 21st inst., which has been acknowledge in my absence by our Registrar, Mr. Bancroft. It has occurred to me that a small home school not far from here, with which a brother of mine is associated, and which is designed primarily to fit boys to meet our entrance requirements, might offer you just the kind of work you most need to enable you to enter the Academy next fall. While the school is designed primarily for young boys, this is its first year, and the few boys who are there vary in age from fifteen to eighteen years. The nature of the work is largely personal, in fact almost equivalent to private tutoring. At the same time, the home life which is provided would offer you an exceptionally good opportunity to perfect your English. The terms are very reasonable. The location makes it possible for you to visit Andover from time to time on the occasion of affairs of interest, while, as I have before said, the work is based almost wholly on the scholarship requirements of Phillips Academy. I know of no other place where you would be more likely to secure the special work and attention needed to make your later work here most successful. I shall be glad to advise you further in regard to this school, should you so desire. If the plan meets with your approval, the earlier you can get started, the better. As Mr. Bancroft has written you, we have a number of Chinese students in the school, seven in all. Some of these are Government students, and others are private students. The majority have come here through the influence of the present Chinese Minister to this country, Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, who was himself at one time a student in the school, and who has always been a loyal friend. He is at present the President of our Washington Alumni Association, and only last week I had the pleasure of dining with him in Washington, He plans to send his own boys to us in the near future. Kindly advise me if I can be of any further assistance in providing for your work, and believe me, Very truly yours, C. Lo. Ying Dr. Alfred E.

It is not practicable for me to care for them in my own home, and I do not at all like the idea of having then drift around here, making their headquarters at the Phillips Inn, but with no actual program to follow. I have just inquired of Sister Mary Antony, the head of Saint Mary's School, whether the school could provide Helen during holiday season, and have learned that this is not only possible but customary each year in the cases of a few girls. Under this arrangement, Miss Antony assures me that Helen could visit New York several days to see the museums and other places of interest, under proper chaperonage, of course. On the whole, I like the idea. Miss Antony further suggests that she is likely to come to Boston soon after Christmas for something like a week, and would be glad to bring Helen with her at that time if I care to have her do so. I am writing, therefore, to ask you with the utmost frankness, which I hope you will reciprocate, whether it would be convenient for you to have the Tsais with you for part of the Christmas holidays and whether, indeed, you would prefer to have or not to have them at all. Please be perfectly frank, for I have no desire whatever to suggest even a plan that would not meet with your fullest approval. I am inclined to think that the time has come when I ought to surrender in a way my form of guardianship of Hellen to one of her own sex who understands her needs and can guide her judiciously than it is possible for me to do. I can make the attempt, at least, where boys are concerned, but I must confess and frankly that the problem of girls which confront me in my guise of guardian are a bit out of my sphere. I don't think it is quite fair to Helen, either, that she should not have the direct oversight and guidance of some motherly person who can help her with her individual problems. After thinking along the above lines for many months, I am wondering whether you would feel willing to assume this responsibility? I am sure that the arrangement would be fully approved by Mr. Tsai, Sr., and I should be ready and glad to cooperate in every possible way. I am sure that Mr. Tsai would wish to reimburse you for any expense or trouble to which you were put through the relationship. May I ask you, therefore, to be frank with me in stating whether such a plan would meet with your full approval? If it does not, I shall, of course, understand perfectly your position and will turn elsewhere for possible help. With kind personal regards, believe me Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

Stearns to Mrs. Eli Pitman, Elmira, New York, September 24, 1926 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Mrs. Eli Pitman, Elmira, New York, September 24, 1926 Relation A related resource My dear Mrs. Pitman: I have your letter of September 21 and am sorry beyond words for all the trouble you have been caused over the uncertainly [sic] in regard to Mary Sun's rooming arrangement at Elmira. I, myself, have been tremendously disturbed by the whole affair which has had, seemingly, endless complications. Mr. Robinson, to whom you refer, is secretary of the Y.M.C.A in Tientsin, Mary's home, and is a personal friend of her father. He happens to be in this country this summer and, when he heard of the college arrangements made for Mary, expressed the view that Mary's father wished her to room for the first year, at least, in some good Christian home. He volunteered to find such a home, if he could, and I, of course, accepted gladly this offer. In the meantime, Mary had signed up for a dormitory room in the college, and the interchange of a number of telegrams left us both somewhat uncertain as to what the final outcome would and should be. Mr. Robinson later wrote me that he had asked his sister, who lived in Cortland, to go to Elmira to complete the arrangements, and I wired Mary Sun, who had mildly protested against the change of plan, that she must accept this new arrangement and cancel the college room contract at once. I assumed that there would still be time for the college to fill the vacancy thus created. In the meantime, it appears that the college authorities had strongly advised Mary not to live outside the college buildings. When Mr. Robinson’s sister appeared at Elmira, she received the same urgent advice and wired me that under the circumstances she felt that the dormitory arrangement should hold. A letter from the Registrar of Elmira College, received by me the next day, contained also the same advice couched in very strong language. and in view of these facts I felt that the only thing I could properly do was to wire Mary to stand by the original dormitory plan. I assumed, of course, that Miss Robinson would explain the situation fully to you, and I am sorry if she did not do so at the time. Trusting that the above explanation will make the situation perfectly clear and will show you, too, that all of us tried to the best of our ability to act in good faith to all concerned, believe me Very sincerely yours, Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alfred E.

I am writing at this time merely to advise you that I am endeavoring to the best of my ability to carry out your instructions. Sung comes to me from time to time to secure needed funds, and he is very careful to submit a retailed statement of his expenditures, which so far as I can judge indicate that he is not over-extravagant in his use of money. He is now rooming at the Clement House on School Street, which I believe is in accordance with your wish. Sung seems happy and contented. In his work he is still having some difficulty, though I think he is making better progress than he did last year. My impression of the boy is that he will improve steadily even if slowly as he goes higher in his studies. His spirit seems of the best, and I have always found him most courteous and reliable. I think I can appreciate what it must mean to leave your boy so far away from home, and I can assure you that I shall always deem it a privilege to aid or care for him in any way within my power should the occasion arise. So far Sung has been in the best of health and I do not anticipate that he will need any special attention in this direction. Our infirmary, as you know, is thoroughly up-to-date, and is in charge of a competent matron. Boys requiring medical attention are at once cared for at the infirmary, and in case of special emergencies are attended by the most competent physicians that can be secured in Boston.

I have become very fond of them and I shall be glad to do anything I can to carry out in the case of your friend the ideals cherished for him by both you and his father. At the present time, the Chinese students of the Eastern States are holding conference meetings here in Andover and I wish you might find it possible to attend some of these public meetings. There are about 100 boys, a more interesting lot of fellows or more interesting meetings it would be difficult to find.

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.
