Though subscriptions are coming in from private schools in Hawaii, California, Maine, Florida and other parts of the country, the fund to build the memorial schools is being kept open so that each child may have the opportunity of contributing his or her mite, no matter how small. We believe there is not a child in the country but who desires to add expression of admiration and esteem to that felt for the great Marshal. Every cent collected goes to France as our working fund is supported by private contributions and gratuitous service. At the time of enrollment in this movement, we received a letter from Mr. Clark of the Lawrenceville School asking if the Phillips Academy had enrolled, and we replied that at that time we had not heard from you. We would greatly appreciate a card telling us when we may expect a contribution from your school, as it would, indeed be a pity were not the students of the Phillips Academy represented in this great work.

French, Elmira College, to Sao-Ke Alfred Sze, Chinese Legation, Washington, D.C., January 11, 1927 Subject The topic of the resource Copy of letter (for Stearns) from Ernestine H. French, Elmira College, to Sao-Ke Alfred Sze, Chinese Legation, Washington, D.C., January 11, 1927 Relation A related resource Dear Dr. Sze: After receiving your letter yesterday asking for a frank report on the status and prospects of Mary Sun, I looked up her record in the Dean's office and found that Mary had received only one "warning" (which means unsatisfactory work) and that was in French last month. I found in talking with the Dean that Mary was allowed and advised by her to drop French because of the natural linguistic difficulties which, combined with an otherwise hard schedule, made the continuance of French this first semester too difficult for her. It will only mean the making up of two hours which can be done much more easily at some future time when college work and everything connected with it are not so new and strange. Even without the French Mary is carrying fourteen hours a week, including the laboratories. I have talked with each of the professors in the departments in which Mary is working -- Biology, Chemistry, English and Bible and find that they all agree that Mary is an average student doing passing work. Miss Whittaker, head of the biological department said that some time ago she had asked one of the young instructors to give some special attention to Mary and Tsao Ching to familiarize them with terms and to go over some of the points that the other students had previously had in High School. This seems to have helped them very much and their work has been quite satisfactory. Miss Eastom reports that Mary does very good work in Chemistry, in fact much better than that done by some of the American students. Professor Mould reports that Mary's work in Bible is like that of the average American student -- it is passing but not particularly good. In English, also, the report is that there is no question of Mary's not passing -- she is doing satisfactory though not excellent work. Her English teacher told me that she had felt that Mary might do better in English and that she wanted her to improve and so had been a little severe with her. She feels that Mary is, perhaps, a little "spoiled" and apt to become discouraged if she is not praised and made a great deal of. Her idea in telling Mary that she must do better work and show more improvement in her English work was that a little wholesome criticism would be good for the girl. Nearly every girl has a period of discouragement during her first year at College. There are so many new adjustments even for the native students to make, that it is quite natural that the difficulties should at times seem insurmountable to the girls and Page two that they should be tempted to want to give the whole thing up. Added to this very natural situation which must be faced by almost everyone, is Mary's present physical condition which makes everything look dark to her. She came back from the Christmas vacation with a very bad cold. Our resident physician is looking after her and makes Mary lie down and rest for one hour every afternoon. This rest is in place, I believe of the regular gymnasium work, and is a very excellent thing in every way for a girl who is temporarily run down. We all feel that it would be a very great mistake for Mary to leave college now. She has really passed through the most difficult part -- and successfully, although not with such distinction as she evidently would have liked. Examinations being this week and that is another thing which makes her anxious. Her professors have assured me that she is likely to pass although she herself seems to think that her marks are so poor that she is ashamed of them. I believe that she rates her accomplishments too low and the possibilities of achievement under the circumstances, too high. Mary is well liked by the students and made a great deal of by them. She has been invited several times to spend the week-end in Corning at the beautiful home of Mrs. Samuel Hawkes whose daughter was at Sea Pines Camp with Mary, but Mary has never accepted the invitations, thinking that she was too busy with her work. Professor Mould of the department of Bible and Mrs. Mould plan to entertain Mary with some of the other students in their home very soon. Of course, I have had Mary at my house and have asked her to come whenever she can, but she has not accepted without a special invitation. Personally, I feel, very strongly that Mary's feeling of discouragement, while perhaps natural under the circumstances, should not be taken seriously. She is doing as good work as the average student and all conditions surrounding her college life, so far as I can see, are pleasant, wholesome and beneficial. I believe that it would be a very grave mistake for her to be allowed to "give up." I trust that this report will be of assistance. You and Dr. Stearns may rest assured that a very personal interest is taken in Mary as in all of "our girls" at Elmira. We want each and everyone of them not only to develop into the best possible women but to be happy in doing so. President Lent as you know takes a very special interest in each student. He has asked to have a talk with Mary tomorrow.

I cabled you as follows- "Tell Charlie mission temporarily postponed. Continue study diplomacy at Columbia as you two decided”. Dr. Tong’s mission has been postponed, end so far as we can see it is an indefinite postponement without date and in consequence the whole matter is uncertain. As you know Dr. Sze is going as our Minister to London and I am trying to arrange that Charlie be appointed as one of his attaches on his London staff. I shall know definitely of this in the not too distant future. I thought a change of this kind would be good for Charlie and help him to get over his disappoint-ment and he would be able to continue his studies in London while at the same time he would have practical training in our Legation under Dr. Sze. Although Charlie’s English is quite good I suggest that if he has any spare time he might continue his studies in higher English which he could continue in London. To be of service in diplomatic work requires an excellent command of the English language and literature. If I am successful in securing this position for Charlie he would not require to go to London until about Christmas time, and Dr. Sze would write him direct as to the date of his leaving America. When this time arrives I shall be indebted to you if you will be so kind as to provide Charlie with the necessary money for travelling and something extra for his use when he arrives in London. In case our luck is against us and we should fail in getting Charlie appointed to the London Legation I would beg of you to use your influence with him to complete his studies in America. I am exceedingly sorry to have again to trespass on your kindness in this matter, and I wish to assure you how much I value your help both in this matter and in all you are doing for me and my children. With my kindest regards and renewed thanks. Yours most sincerely, (signed) C. Y. Sun C.Y.Sun Dr. Alfred E.

May I ask you to return the examation [sic] papers when you are through with them. We find that he is especially weak in mathematics and that he has had no modern language whatever, (except Chinese and English). Cornell would be a rather favorable institution for him to enter because, if he secures a certificate record, we can get him in there without his taking the College Board examinations. It is not an easy matter, however, to get this "B" average, especially as he is way behind in the two subjects mentioned above. I find, however, that he is quite well qualified intellectually in English though the requirements for reading that he must meet are rather long; and that he will probably get along quite easily in Physics. He must, however, have at least two years of French and he is technically due to have three years of Mathematics, which may by tutoring be shortened to two. My conclusion is that he ought not to think of trying to get into Cornell in one year, even if he can stand extraordinary pressure of studies. Any engineering course, as you know, requires strong mathematical foundation, and that is his weakest point. I therefore plan to start him at the foundation in mathematics and French, hoping that with extra care he may be able in two years to accomplish enough to admit him to an engineering course in college. I have planned to go lightly on the technical work, specializing largely in drawing, with a minimum of shopwork. In fact, I consider him a special student and not classified according to our momenclature [sic]. I will give him a seat with our college preparatory juniors. Of course this plan is tenative [sic], subject to variation as Liang is tried out. Very truly yours, Charles F. Warner. Charles F. Warner George C.

Mr. Robinson represents the Sub-Target Gum Company and is visiting China in the interests of his firm. At the time that arrival of your countrymen underwent a most unpleasant and unjust treatment at the hands of some of our petty officials in Boston, Mr. Robinson was indefatigable in his efforts to help these boys out of their difficulties and to bring about the administration of proper and decent justice. It was through no fault of his that the results were not more satisfactory, and on one felt more keenly than did he the injustice and unfairness of it all. Mr. Robinson is associated in business with Mr. Stratton, a warm personal friend of mine and one of the best friends Phillips Academy has ever had. Mr. Stratton for many years had charge of our musical clubs in the school and was greatly beloved by the boys. He is at present representing the Sub-Target Gum Company in London, England. Any courtesies you feel disposed to extend to Mr. Robinson will be very deeply appreciated by him and by me, and I feel confident that you will be glad to make his acquaintance and will find him well worth knowing.
