Robinson, Kansas City, Missouri, October 4, 1926 (regarding Arthur Sun) Relation A related resource My dear Mr. Robinson: I have your letter of September 28 and am enclosing check to cover the expenses listed on your statement. Kindly return receipt for my files. I am dreadfully sorry about this whole unfortunate mix-up over Mary's room at Elmira. Frankly, I doubt if anything would be gained by sending Mary's letter on to her father, especially since the Elmira authorities were so emphatic in their statements to me that the plan we had discussed was unwise and that Mary was acting entirely in accord with their desires and methods in taking the dormitory room. Of course you must remember that Mary has now been in this country a number of years and is older and mature than many of the Chinese girls already in college. For the past two years, especially, I have given her increasingly more responsibility in handling her own affairs, though, even so, I imagine from what I have seen that she has been more carefully directed in such matters than almost any other Chinese girls in the country today. The one thing that I most seriously blame her for in this particular mix-up is her failure to advise me that she was planning to invest the week-end on her way to Elmira with a friend in Trenton. The plan would doubtless have had my approval had it been explained to me in advance, but, as it was, I was left in the dark for the time being as to her whereabouts and that only added to the confusion and the anxiety. Again my thanks for all you have done to aid me and my regrets for the unnecessary anxiety and trouble you have been caused.

Stearns to Frank Winsor, Metropolitan District Commission, Boston, October 7, 1926 Relation A related resource My dear Mr. Winsor: Mr. Arthur Sun, a Chinese ward of mine who hopes to secure his degree this fall from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is applying, I understand, for a position with the Metropolitan Water Supply Company in order to secure the practical experience that such a position would give him. I am sending this note merely to express the hope that you will be able to act favorably on this application. Arthur Sun is one of over sixty Chinese boys who have been under my care during the last twenty-five years while they were students in our American institutions. The boy's father is a prominent wealthy and progressive Chinese who has generously aided good causes at home and abroad. He was chairman of the Chinese Red Cross during the World War and has served in the same capacity on a number of famine and flood relief committees in his country since that time. Naturally I feel a good bit of responsibility towards his four children who have been under my care in this country for the last five years, and I am especially anxious to make possible the realization of Mr. Sun's expressed wish that his son should have a year or two of practical engineering experience following the Technology course. Any assistance you can consistently extend to the boy will be very deeply appreciated. Very sincerely yours, Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alfred E.

Freeman, Providence, Rhode Island, October 7, 1926 (regarding Arthur Sun) Relation A related resource My dear Mr. Freeman: I believe that you are personally acquainted with Mr. C. Y. Sun of Tientsin, China, whose four children have been under my care during their stay in America these past five years. The oldest of the group, Arthur Sun, hopes to secure his degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology this week and is seeking, at the request of his father, a position with some engineering firm in this country where he can gain practical experience before his return to the home land. Arthur Sun has recently applied for a position with the Metropolitan Water Supply Company of Boston, and, as he has been specializing in sanitary engineering, he feels, as do I, that a position of this kind would furnish him with just the best kind of an opportunity to put the finishing touches, so to speak, on his Technology training. I am wondering if a word from you to some of the officials of this Company would not carry a good deal of weight, provided, of course, your knowledge of and Interest in the Sun family would justify you in speaking a word in the boy’s behalf. Mr. Sun, Senior, has asked me to try to help his son secure a position of this kind and naturally I feel a good bit of responsibility in the matter without knowing exactly just how to accomplish the end desired. If the above suggestion is not practicable. I shall be ready and glad to receive any suggestions from you that may aid me in carrying out the father’s expressed wishes and in giving the boy his chance with some good American firm.

Murray, Grand Central Terminal, New York City, October 7, 1926 (regarding Arthur Sun) Relation A related resource My dear Mr. Murray: Arthur Sun, a Chinese boy who graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology this fall, is seeking a position with some American construction or engineering company whereby he will be enabled to gain the practical experience his father wishes him to have before he returns to China. The boy has specialized, I understand, in sanitary engineering and at the moment is hoping to secure work with the Metropolitan Water Supply Company of Boston, though this is only one of a number of concerns to which he has applied for a job. Arthur Sun and his two brothers and sister have been in my charge for the past five years during their student days in America. They lived for several years in my own home: so that I have a very strong personal interest in them. The father, Mr. C.Y. Sun of Tientsin, China, is one of the most prominent and progressive Chinese in the home land and holds exceptionally high ideals for his children. As he has been rash enough to place them entirely in my hands during their American stay, I feel pretty heavy responsibility in the matter and am very eager to help them realize his ambition. My purpose, in writing to you is to ask whether, by chance, you have any suggestions to make which would aid me in placing Arthur Sun for a year or two with some competent concern, where he would gain the practical experience desired and put the finishing touches, so to speak, on his Technology training. As a layman, I must admit that I know very little about the proper methods of procedure in a matter of this kind, and I trust that I am not imposing too much upon your own good nature in coming to you for advice. Any suggestions you are willing or able to offer me will be very deeply appreciated. Very sincerely yours, Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alfred E.

Stearns to Mary Sun, Elmira College, October 3, 1927 Relation A related resource Dear Mary: Thank you for explaining your change of front in regard to the course at the Yale Nursing School. Anyway, I don’t believe that my letter to your father can do any harm, and I am still far more in favor of nursing than of typewriting and stenography for you, for it seems to me that you have special gifts in that particular line and I am not sure just how well you would do at the other job. Obviously, Helen Tsai’s father has recently written me asking that Helen be given special work in English and that she add to her regular studies as stiff a course as she can carry in typewriting. He feels that there is a real opportunity in China for girls who are well trained in this line. No, I have not the slightest objection to your putting in the Christmas vacation at Elmira, though, of course, you may receive in the meantime some special invitation that you will not feel like rejecting. I had a nice letter from Quincey yesterday. He is very much distressed over the condition of things in China and tells me that the whole situation is much worse than it was before the fighting and than it has been reported here. He says also that he finds little of the so-called hatred of foreigners but indeed quits the reverse. Evidently he feels a good bit discouraged about the future, and I can’t wonder. I am glad to know that the new year opens up so promisingly for you and do hope that it will end with a record of steady good health and steady progress in your college work.
