Transcription

Dr. A.E. Stearns,

Dear Sir:

I regret to write you that, in view of the unsatisfactory record of your ward, A.K. Sun, he is not recommended for the degree of Bachelor of Science.

The Faculty will, on petition from him, inform him of the further requirements for his graduation.
Secretary.

June 7 1926
Mr. A. L. Merrill, Secretary
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Cambridge, Mass.

My dear Mr. Merrill,

I am sorry indeed to learn that Arthur Sun has again failed to meet the requirements of the Institute for his degree. I shall, of course, be glad to learn what will still be required of the boy to permit him to obtain this goal, which I happen to know his father very earnestly cherishes for him.
Frankly, I have never quite been able to decide whether Sun’s failure to make a better record with you is due to lack of ability or lack of the earnest effort that should have characterized his work.

Very sincerely yours

Creator

A.L. Merrel
