So far as I can judge there is no good reason for you to go to the expense of purchasing a rifle or pistol for which you would be likely to have little or no use after the camp closes. Boys at Andover are not allowed to have any fire arms in their possession during the school year. Unless Mr. Sanborn feels strongly that you should make this investment I am unwilling to sanction it. I cannot make out from your letter for what purpose you desire the five dollars asked for. Here again I must rely on Mr. Sanborn's judgment. If this is a necessary expense I feel sure that Mr. Sanborn will be willing to advance you the money need and add it to your camp bill for incidentals, in which case I shall of course be perfectly willing to pay it. Just show this letter to Mr. Sanborn and abide by his judgment. Sincerely yours, Alfred Tsai Dr. Alfred E.

Stearns, Home Camp, Pittsburg, New Hampshire, to Charles Sun, MIT Dorm, August 29, 1927 Relation A related resource Dear Charlie: Your letter of August 24 has been read with very great interest. I should much prefer to discuss with you in person the proposition suggested, rather than attempt to reach a decision at this distance. I have decided, however, to fill out the application as requested and am returning it herewith, leaving you to complete the form and send it on to Norwich, if you so desire. I can't quite think of you as a military man, for it seems as if your natural inclinations and tastes were of a higher order. On the other hand, if there were a stable government in China, or if your military knowledge can aid in establishing one, I should favor the scheme most heartily. Military men of high ideals like Gen. Leonard Wood, for example, can do wonderfully constructive work in the world and of the very finest kind. The average military man, however, is content with much less important things, and often become a mere troublemaker. I am sure that you would be actuated by the highest motives in whatever profession you engaged, so that I am perfectly willing to endorse this plan of yours, if you really wish to carry it through. I should do so, however, on the understanding that your father would approve. On that point I am not qualified to speak, though probably you know how your father would feel. Anyway, I can see no harm in filing the application, for probably it could be canceled later if you desired. Even if you decide on some other profession, a year of military training at Norwich would be bound to prove of real value. Though, of course, it is possible that you might invest a year to better advantage if you were going into another line of work. I shall hope to find an opportunity to talk the plans over with you in person, in the not distant future. For since I have recently been elected a trustee of Amherst College, I shall probably have occasion to visit Amherst oftener than before. Trusting that the coming year of college will prove to be best of all to date. With kindest regards, believe me. Always.

I had not realized that the Walnut Hill School limited its work to college preparation. This fact, I feel, will prevent me from taking advantage of your offer, based on a possible vacancy later. Apparently, Miss Tsai’s father is not enthusiastic over a college education for his daughter, but prefers her to secure in America a not limited, but general education. As I am somewhat limited in my knowledge of girls schools, would it be asking too much of you if I were to request suggestions and advice on this subject? Miss Tsai is an unusual girl and her father craves for her, as I desire, a school and influence of the old-fashion American type, so seemingly difficult to find in these modern times. It was on this round chiefly, that I was prompted to look with favor on Walnut Hill School where I have a feeling that the old and tested ideas still hold sway. Miss Tsai’s father is amply able to pay for the best, but neither he nor I desire a fashionable school, but rather one where the emphasis is placed on character and sound scholarship. If you can, and are willing to give me any suggestions long these lines, I shall be very deeply grateful. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Florence Bigelow https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/b11856eaf437065a5c64853bbe6cf15e.jpg 3033ae7054e98d09691285c63a8bf6dc Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Whatever Alfred really needs in the way of camp equipment I shall be perfectly willing to have you purchase. On the other hand since he will have each slight use for most camp material I should much prefer to have him rent these things for the current summer if this can be done. As for the tutoring I hardly know what to say. Alfred tried the exams for admission to our Lower Middle year but failed them pretty badly. In my opinion he needs more than anything else some stiff drill in English, grammar and composition, spelling, etc., and work in Algebra and perhaps Arithmetic. He ought to be able to take our second year French but I doubt whether he can make it and I imagine that it would be a waste of time to work on that subject this summer. My advice would be for you to write, or telephone to Mr. Lynde who is in charge of the admissions at Andover and ask him what he thinks Alfred should work at in view of his previous work at Mont Vernon and the character of his entrance examination papers. I doubt whether any special text books will be needed though Mr. Lynde can probably better advise you on this point. With the best wishes, believe me, Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

Thank you for sending me the statements of your purchases at Filenes. I have written to Filenes asking them to send me a regular bill of late, which I will send them a check to cover everything. As the statements you sent me are made out to Mrs. Nye it is very probable that the account is properly taken care of. I am planning to go back to Andover the first of next week and if the opportunity offers I shall try to stop off for a minute at Camp Onaway as I go by, if not, I shall hope to stop in when I come up here again a bit later. I am inclosing a few stamps as requested, though why you should have difficulty in securing stamps at camp, I can't understand. I am sure if you ask your head councilor or Mrs. Hollister for them you will be provided with all you need. My kindest regards and best wishes to you Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

Mr. Liang had already written me also explaining his failure to appear in Andover as he had at first hoped to do. It's too bad; but we shall have to make the most of it. I hope all goes well with you. Alfred wrote at first that he was dissatisfied and homesick and wished to leave his camp. Now he writes that he is happy and contented. What a "kid" he still is. We are having a quiet summer here with occasional fishing trips out on the lake and with plenty of gardening and other work out of doors. When it rains we go at the inside of the house so we are seldom idle. By the time school reopens next month I shall be well toughened up. Please give my greetings to Mrs. Richardson and believe me, with all good wishes, Ever sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.
