Is she an Elmira College girl or one of the friends made in former schools? How well do you know her and what is her family like? If she is the right kind, as I have no doubt she is, I should be perfectly willing for you to spend a week-end with her provided only the college authorities fully approve of the plan. My impression is that the college does not look great favor on week-end visits for their students, at least early in the college course. This is exactly our position here, and I can understand fully why it is justified. If your Dean will write that she believes the trip wise and desirable thing in this instance, I shall be ready to wire my full approval; otherwise I strongly advise you to wait a little longer before you begin running away from the college and your friends there.

Stearns to Sao-Ke Alfred Sze, Chinese Legation, Washington, D.C., January 11, 1927 Relation A related resource My dear Dr. Sze: I have recently received from Mary Sun, as has her oldest brother Arthur, letters reporting great distress over the seeming failure to meet properly the scholarship requirements of the college and intimating vigorously that Mary was bringing pressure to bear on her father to permit her to give up college and return home. Frankly, I think she is suffering a good bit from the effects of a cold and the consequent run-down physical condition, coupled with natural homesickness. On the other hand, it has always been difficult for me to find out from Mary exactly how matters stood with her; so that I am a bit perplexed at present to know just what to say or do. I am wondering whether from your Elmira connections and friends you could perhaps get some first-hand information about Mary and her status in the college which would prove helpful to me in advising her wisely. If this is asking too much, don’t hesitate to refuse the request. If, on the other hand, you have friends at Elmira who can and will give you a frank report on Mary’s status and prospects, I am sure that those reports would prove most helpful to us all. With the best wishes to you and yours for the new year just opening, believe me Very sincerely yours, Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alfred E.

Stearns to Arthur Sun, Boston, January 11, 1927 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Arthur Sun, Boston, January 11, 1927 Relation A related resource Dear Arthur: Thank you for your letter and for the enclosures. I will see that the bills are promptly settled. That of your dentist is heavy, of course, but dental operations are always very expensive things, as I know from my personal experience. In view of general charges made for this kind of work, I don’t think that Dr. Gibbons’s bill can be considered excessive. Now about Mary. I don’t know quite what to say. She wrote me only a few days ago a letter very similar to the one she has just written you, and I answered it promptly telling her that I felt sure she was suffering, when she wrote, from her cold and consequent run-down condition and that she would see things in a brighter light when her health improved. I told her further that I had received no information from the college itself that would indicate that her work was badly off, as she protested. My impression is that she is homesick chiefly and that her other complaints are naturally exaggerated by this fact. Very possibly it may be worth while to take the matter up with Minister Sze, who, through his friends at Elmira, may be able to locate the trouble better than you and I can. I am going to write him along this line, anyway. Your reference to Mary’s lack of frankness with you is interesting, because that is just what I have found myself in my dealings with her and it has troubled me not a little. When I happened to mention this once to one of the Abbot Academy teachers, I was given to understand that I was altogether wrong and that Mary was a model of frankness with all. Indeed I learned later that the Abbot authorities had criticized both Miss Clemons and me very severely and unjustly for intimating that this lack of frankness on Mary’s part as a weakness which had to be reckoned with at times and which it was our duty to help her overcame. Of course the attitude of the Abbot teachers only made matters worse, and that is one of the reasons that I have been a bit impatient with them ever since. Certainly the years of intimate contact in my home that I had with Mary gave me a better chance to judge her qualities, good and bad, than did the comparatively brief and irregular contacts which she had with her Abbot teachers. I had felt, though, that Mary had been outgrowing this weakness, and I am sorry to have you intimate in your letter that you evidently did not think so yourself. I am returning Mary’s letter, as I assume you wished me to do. Please let me know when you hear anything further from her.

Stearns to Arthur Sun, Cambridge, Mass., October 19, 1926 Subject The topic of the resource Letter from Alfred E. Stearns to Arthur Sun, Cambridge, Mass., October 19, 1926 Relation A related resource Dear Arthur: I have this morning received a note from Mr. Freeman, enclosing copies of the correspondence he had had with Mr. Winsor and also a copy of the letter he has recently written you. I have written Mr. Freeman in reply that I felt that you ought to be ready to accept a position for this year without salary, provided, of course, each a position appears. I feel pretty sure that your father would be glad to meet your living expenses for another year in return for the valuable experience you would gain from such a connection. Of course if you can find a place with salary attached, so much the better, but don’t let a good opening go by on account of that particular consideration. The main thing just now is to get a job, and a good one, with the practical experience that the job offers. The added benefits accruing to you would more than offset the financial conditions involved. By the way, I have just had some correspondence with the Tech Bursar about Condition examinations. I recently received a bill for $5.00, the bill indicating that $10.00 had already been credited to your account by an earlier check from me and that the $5.00 was still due. As I had mailed you a check for $15.00, I could not understand the discrepancy and wrote to Mr. Ford for information. He writes me that $5.00 of the amount in question was returned to you in cash. As you gave me no notice of this, I was wholly in the dark and must admit that I do not consider this a fair or business-like attitude on your part. Further, the last bill I paid at the Harvard Cooperative Society on your account specified two individual items but gave the main item under "bill rendered" which, of course, gives me no chance whatever to check up on the character of the expenditures involved. Furthermore no bill had been rendered to me, at least before that time, for I have paid promptly every bill that has come into my hands. I have done everything in my power to handle your affairs in a business-like way but get comparatively little cooperation, for frequently bills sent to you to be OK’d, with return stamped and addressed envelopes accompanying them, do not come back to me until weeks later, and then generally with an accompanying request for personal funds. This has been my experience frequently with you and Tom, but not with Charlie and Ouincy. For your own sake, I hope you will appreciate the importance of handling matters in a different way from now on. It is in your interest and not my own that I am concerned and make this request.
