Transcription
My dear Dr. Stearns:
In reply to your letter through your secretary in relation to Miss Sun’s graduation, may I say that Miss Sun does not complete her course until February 1931. Furthermore she will not receive her degree until the following June at the regular Yale Commencement exercises. The University desires whenever it is at all possible that the students should receive their degrees at this time, and the School of Nursing very much prefers to have them do this.
In case Mr. Sun desires his daughter to return to China during the vacation months, I think I should also inform you that our vacation periods extend over a month only which would not enable her to make the trip, nor do I believe in her case particularly it would be advisable to give her an extended leave of absence.
You will be, I am sure, glad to know that on the whole Miss Sun is doing very well. She has made up all but one of her deficiencies, and in the practical field she compares well with the other students.
I have recently returned from a trip to the Orient. I had hoped that Mr. Sun would get in touch with me while in Peiping, as I understood his daughter had written him, but such was not the case.
If it seems imperative that Miss Sun should return to China during the summer we would try to arrange for an absence of two months but, because of the interference with her class work, I believe a longer period would be quite impossible.
Very sincerely yours,
