I am glad that you feel as you do about Arthur Sun’s present job and I have tried to emphasize to the boy that, regardless of where he starts, he will only be a real success in the end to the extent in which he enlarges for himself, by efficient service and achievement, the boundaries, whatever their size, of the job that is for the moment his. Just how capable he is intellectually of doing this, I am not quite sure, though I hope that he will be found to possess a proper amount of ambition, at least.

Murray, Grand Central Terminal, New York City, November 9, 1926 (regarding Arthur Sun) Relation A related resource My dear Mr. Murray: On my return to Andover this morning I find your letter of November 5 with the copy of the exceedingly generous letter you have written Arthur Sun. Certainly you have proved yourself a wonderful friend to a stranger and he and I both appreciate it very very deeply. A few days ago Sun accepted a position with the Metropolitan District Commission. Naturally he does not feel, nor do I, that he should throw over this position without at least explaining frankly to his present employer the situation and securing full and friendly approval of the step. My impression is that his present boss would understand perfectly and give the boy his benediction upon making the change, assuming, of course, that a position along the lines suggested by you should actually materialize. The fact is that the job he has taken is, I believe, that of a lineman only and in work that is somewhat different from what he hopes to follow as a sanitary engineer in his home country later. I am writing Sun, therefore, to see is present employer at once and state the case frankly and fully to him; then if the desired approval is forthcoming, to look into the other possibilities suggested by you. I hope that in doing this I am playing fair with all concerned. Anyway, I am more grateful to you than I can express for the extremely friendly and effective way in which you have undertaken to help out this foreigner and stranger. The year seems to be starting off pretty well for your youngsters. It was a delight to be able to release John from probation, a release which he certainly earned. William, Jr., also appears to be making a good start, even though he did come out a few hours behind on the first rating. His teachers all speak of his good spirit, and are also inclined to think that the earlier conditions were due, in good part at least, to illness, and hence are not very likely to appear again on the slate.

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.

While I am sorry to hear that you are unhappy at the camp I am sure that you will appreciate the fact that it is of course impossible for me to make other arrangements for you at this late date. Further I know of no better arrangements for you at that could have been made for you even earlier, unless possibly at Long Lake Lodge where you would have been required to work hard all summer on your studies. I have asked Mr. Sanborn to see that you do some steady and needed study at your present camp for your Andover examinations were terribly disappointing and indicate clearly that it is a serious question whether without a good deal of further study you could hold your place at Andover even in our first and lowest class. On the basis of the Andover exams you have very little to show for your two years at Mt. Vernon and it is time that you realized that you are no longer a child with play and a good time your chief interest in life. Frankly, I should be inclined to regard your appeal to be near Helen with more seriousness if you had shown, when you were with her, a greater brotherly interest. You will not have forgotten, I am sure, how constantly you left her alone in Andover while you went to the movies or did other things that happened to please you. Helen was the lonely and homesick one then, but my repeated requests to you to consider her interests and do more to entertain and make her happy brought little if any response. Your plain duty now is to buckle down to some hard and conscientious work and prepare yourself as best you can to meet the Andover requirements in the fall. Otherwise we shall have to give up the Andover plan altogether and seek another small school that has a reputation for hard work and exacting discipline. If we have to do this it will be an admission to the world that you were either unable or unwilling to meet the standards of Phillips Academy; and that would be little less than disgrace and a cause for real pain to your father. Unless I hear that you are ready to accept my instructions and get down to hard and serious work at your present camp I shall feel it necessary to send a copy of this letter to your father in order that he may understand the whole situation and the real nature of the problem. Naturally I wish to save him this distress if possible. Faithfully yours, Alfred Tsai Dr. Alfred E.

Mrs. Erving will probably be willing to take you in until the opening of school. If she is unable to do this you will have to stay at the inn, though I do not wish you to do so if it can be helped because of the heavy expense involved and because also the inn is always over crowded just before school opens and needs the extra room for visiting parents. Sincerely yours, Alfred Tsai Dr. Alfred E. Stearns
