Stearns, October 8, 1926 (regarding Arthur Sun) Relation A related resource My dear Dr. Stearns: What you have told me about Arthur Sun in your letter of October 7th is most interesting, and I shall be very glad indeed to do anything I can in the matter of the position he is seeking. Your letter has reached me just at the moment I am taking a train from New York, but I shall return Monday and put out some feelers within the ranks of some of my engineering friends and shall hope shortly to report progress on this matter. I would like very much to meet this young man, either in New York here or in Boston. I have to frequently go to Boston and perhaps it will be possible to make an appointment with him there. If you will let me have his address, I will write him in advance of one of my trips to Boston and thus arrange a conference with him. Your request carries no imposition whatsoever. On the contrary, it will give me a very great deal of pleasure to help and much more so to make it effective.

Stearns to Thomas Sun, Middlebury College, October 8, 1927 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. 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.

Please don't burden yourself with this matter, much as I should appreciate any assistance you may be able to give me and the boy in hoping up the best course for the latter to follow at this particular time.

The boy's present address is: Arthur Sun, Suite 2, 333a Harvard Street, Cambridge, Mass. If it should prove possible for you to meet him later in Boston for an interview, I should, of course, be immensely grateful to you for giving him such an opportunity.

Stearns, October 5, 1926 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from M.A. Harris, Dean, Elmira College, (Open Letter to Parents) to Alfred E. Stearns, October 5, 1926 Relation A related resource OPEN LETTER TO PARENTS We are writing you concerning the arrangements at the college in regard to any outside social life you may at any time desire your daughter to enjoy. In the first place, however, we wish to explain that in the judgment of the Administration the social life inside the college is so varied and full that social engagements outside the college are not necessary for the proper recreation which every student needs. Should you decide that during her college years you do not desire that your daughter shall during term time have other social pleasures than these, she will in our judgment be the more likely to get the best from her college life. Should you on the other hand for any reason wish that she may be allowed certain other privileges enjoyed by girls of her years, our regulations require notification of this from you, as follows:- 1) Because of the uncertainty as to the security of the ice which forms in the Chemung River, we require a special letter on file for those students who wish to skate there. 2) Because of other dangers we require a special letter of permission in the case of students who wish to do active philanthropic work in the city. 3) Because of the tendency to homesickness on the part of freshmen we ask a special letter of permission from parents who wish freshmen to visit home from time to time as they may desire. 4) Because we deprecate attendance upon dancing parties in the city, as unsettling to the student’s work and because we can assume no responsibility for the character of the persons our students may meet at such general gatherings, we ask a special letter of permission for students whose parents are willing they should go to dancing parties in the city. In the four cases named above a letter of general permission to cover affairs for the year will answer, should you care to give it. 5) There are however conditions under which we do not accept such general permission. One of these is absence from the college residence halls for over night when the student is not going to her own home or to the home of a near relative. In order that a student may leave college for over night to visit elsewhere, it is necessary that a letter SPECIAL TO THE OCCASION shall be on file at the Dean’s Office, received by her from the parent or guardian of the student, naming the lady to be visited and the address of this lady, and if possible the precise date of the approved visit. The regulations do not allow us to accept general permissions for a student to make visits or to be absent over week-ends, either in or out of the City of Elmira. Local guardians for out of town students are not recognized by the College (Exceptions to this ruling may be made by the Social Committee in special cases such as when a guardian is required for students from foreign lands.) We are not allowed to base permissions in any case upon our personal opinion of the social desirability of the visit. Perhaps it should be mentioned that in any case a student may not leave college for over night more than three times a semester unless her class standing is exceptionally high or unless she is summoned home on account of illness in the family. For this reason it is desirable to plan visits well in advance of the date set. Leaving college at the time of published vacations is not counted as one of the allowed three absences nor is permission necessary for absence at that time. Very cordially yours, M. A.

Stearns, October 19, 1927 Relation A related resource Dear Mr. Stearns, Sorrv to do this, but I am obliged to. I know that it is not time to ask you for more money yet, but as circumstances arrive, I have to do this. My college and fraternity bills ran much higher than I expected, these amounting to about nearly four hundred dollars. I bought a new winter suit, too, this being my first suit in about seven months. And now the fraternity wants to raise some money to buy a new victrola before the regular rushing season starts, and there are several new motions passed for various things for which I must have compensation. I will not ask for very much this time. All I ask is twenty five dollars. If you will see my situation, you will understand. I now have but fifteen dollars left in the bank, and that I have to use to buy various pamphlets and documents for the thesis which I have to write for my course in City Government. This money I will account in together with my account for the fall. Then I will send you a full statement of all expenditures from the early part to the end of this term. But if you wish I will be glad to send you a statement of my expenses so far so that you can see the situation which I have to face. I will need the money very shortly, probably within a week, so I will be very thankful if you will send me sum immediately. I do not dare to touch the money which I have left in the bank for fear of some emmergency [sic]might turn up. I am now pledging to pay for the victrola within a week.

I did send you then a check for $25.00 which I hope has reached you safely. Frankly, I sent the check with some misgivings, for I can’t for the life of me understand how you could have disposed of $500.00 in a single month, unless you have met most of your college expenses for a long way ahead. If this is not so, you will break all records before the year is over, and naturally I cannot view that prospect with anything but alarm. I felt so happy over your achievements last year that this wholly unexpected development comes as all the greater shock. I won’t comment on it farther, however, until I have received your detailed statement of expenditures which you have promised me.

Should any particularly attractive opportunity develop which you, yourself, felt should be accepted by Miss Sun, I shall be perfectly willing to leave the final decision to your own best judgment.
