If you will put a little of that "pep" into your other studies, I am sure that you can raise the grades there also; though I am not finding fault by any means, for they might have been a good deal worse, and on the whole I have been immensely satisfied with your record at Middlebury College to date.

Stearns to Thomas Sun, Middlebury College, October 8, 1927 Relation A related resource Dear Tom: I have read with great interest your letter of October 6 and congratulate you on being able to express yourself so clearly and so well. You write a good letter. As to your courses, I don’t know just what to say, though it seems to me that you have sized up the situation pretty well for yourself and that the plans you have outlined are sensible and sound. I share your feelings about the value of shorthand, unless, after your return to China, you are to deal wholly or largely with English speaking people. I don’t suppose that the shorthand you would learn in this country would be applicable to the Chinese language. If you can master type-writing, however, you are sure to find that of real value, I think, all through life. When it comes to Physics, I am confident that you will find the subject of real value, no matter what you choose for a life work later. It is in the realm of Physics and Chemistry that the great discoveries and advances in science are being largely made today, and no one can afford to be without at least an elementary knowledge of these subjects. Frankly, I don’t believe that you will gain enough by emphasizing music, except in so far as you can train and develop your own voice, where I judge there are real possibilities. Whatever you accomplish in that line is likely to be for your own pleasure and that of your friends but not of commercial value, at least. Personally, I can’t believe that your father would desire you to spend as much as $3.00 an hour for the doubtful results to be secured in this line. I had a most interesting letter from Quincey several days ago. He tells me that conditions in China are worse than they were before the fighting and writes in a most discouraging vein. He also adds that he finds little, if any, of the reported hatred of foreigners but quite the reverse. When he wrote he was Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alfred E.

Stearns to Thomas Sun, Middlebury College, September 9, 1927 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Thomas Sun, Middlebury College, September 9, 1927 Relation A related resource My dear Dr. Stearns, Enclose please find the statement of my expenses for the passed summer. I hope that it will be satisfactory. On the third sheet you will find that I have added up the different expenses. That is the way I find to be the most satisfactory, because I had to buy my meals everyday and it will take more than a dozen sheets of paper to state them day by day. In that case it will confuse you to have so many items to look over, whereas in this way you can get a birds-eve view of the whole thing. I made a trip down to Easton to see one of mv friends, and if I put down everything, a large quantity of paper will be used and will be less sufficient, but if you want that, I have it right here, but not written down in any form so that I can hand it in and have anyone else understand it except me. But I will be glad to do it if you wish it so. As a result I find that staying in Boston is very expensive. The amount that surprised me is the expenses for subways. But if you come to think of it, that ten cents per trip, the amount will be exceedingly high at the end of the summer. This year I will have additional Fraternity dues to pay, but that will balance the low cost for my room which is 45.00 per semester instead of 75.00 which I had to pay last year. The board increased from 125.00 45 to 144.00. I am living and eating at the Fraternity House. I will as last year need 500 dollars for the fall term to pay all the college bills and the fraternity bills, besides I will have to buy books which amount to a big sum last year, and it is likely to be thus again. I am writing this at this time is that am rather short and I also know that you will be very busy around the 16th of this month fixing things up and interviewing visitors before Andover opens.
