My dear Arthur Your latter has just reached me, but I had already heard the bad news from the secretary of the Institute who send me a brief note yesterday. This news I passed on to Mary at Sea Pines in order that she might not plan to take in the festivities, as she had hoped and expected to do. This, of course, has proved a bitter disappointment for us all, and. I really can’t advice you by letter just what you ought to do. My impression, however, in that your father would wish you at almost any cost to fight on until the Technology degree is yours. If you can do this by summer work, go to it. It will be time to talk about a good vacation, if that is necessary, when the decree is actually in your possession. The secretary wrote me that he would advise me later just what steps would be required of you to make up your deficiencies and graduate. I wish you would get wish you would get this information from the authorities in writing and send it on to me; then we will get together and plan how best to meet the retirements, Further, we can get a job for you in the fall perhaps even better than we could earlier. This is about all I can say at present and with my limited knowledge of the actual conditions. Let me know just what the authorities are going to require of you and then I shall be able to advise you intelligently. Very sincerely yours. Arthur Sun Dr. Alfred E.

June 7, 1926 Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Phillips Academy Andover, Massachusetts My dear Doctor Steams: Miss French sent me your letter concerning the summer plans for Miss Sun. I am sorry that the arrangements for living and tutoring which we suggested to Miss French were not so definite as she naturally supposed from our proposals. I must therefore make a few explanations. I am a graduate student at Cornell and while in residence here have been chaperoning Keniston House, one of the Freshman houses that accommodates some twenty girls. Since I am remaining in Keniston this summer, there is no reason why I cannot have Miss Sun in the house with me and give her the tutoring she desires. In accordance with the rules of the University, however, it will be necessary for her to register as a student and pay the summer tuition fee of fifty dollars for the six weeks. For this fee she may take several courses, and it is my suggestion that she may take at least one English course - I assume this is one of the subjects in which she needs help - and another course, perhaps in mathematics or language if she so desires. In addition to this, I should give her what tutoring she needs, either as a help to prepare her class-room work, or in other subjects at the usual rate for tutoring here, two dollars an hour. An hour a day would no doubt be sufficient. Perhaps you may feel that the moderate cost of room and board at the University and the advantage of social and class-room experience would compensate for the tuition fee. Miss Sun would probably find the summer experiences helpful in making her adjustments to American college life next year. If you would prefer, however, that Miss Sun should not register in the Summer Session but that she should take only the tutoring lessons from me, I could make satisfactory arrangements for her to live in another house near Keniston. She could still take her meals in the dormitory with me, if she so desired, and could come to Keniston at any time during the day. I should, of course, be much interested in her work and progress and should expect to give her encouragement and companionship aside from the formal tutoring. If you are interested in these plans, I shall be able to receive Miss Sun on July first. I am sending you, under separate cover, an announcement of the Summer Session with suggested courses in English marked, but shall be glad to have you propose any others. If you decide to enroll Miss Sun in the Sumner Session, I shall be only too glad to explain to the professors under whom she will work Just what her problems are. I am leaving Ithaca for ten days about the twentieth, and shall be glad to hear from you, if possible, before this time. Very sincerely yours Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Lillian Fitzpatrick https://chinesestudents.andover.edu/files/original/e5af19e324e5b5a1b37d1e1b3eee9afb.jpg 48fcf97e32ddca7dab42605b218f2d4e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Fitzpatrick 1 East Avenue Ithaca, N. Y. My dear Miss Fitzpatrick: I am very much indebted to you for your friendly and explicit letter of June 7. Your explanations are more than clear, and I understand the situation fully. Recently I found it necessary to make provision for Mary Sun to cover the three weeks intervening between the close of her school year and the opening of the summer term at Ithaca. I chose the Tea Pines School down on Cape Cod and shortly after learned that the school had a summer session, generously attended and offering seemingly an unusually wholesome and vigorous life at an attractive seashore spot. It seemed to me that it would probably be well, under the circumstances, to allow Mary to remain at Sea Pines for the rest of the summer, and I wrote to Dr. Sze in Washington explaining the most recent development and asking his advice. A letter received from him this morning indicates that he appears to approve to my suggestion, and I am consequently making application for Mary's continuance at Tea Pines for the rest of the summer. Let me take this opportunity of thanking you for your generously expressed willingness to assume the responsibility of the oversight of Mary Sun during the summer. If the Ithaca arrangement had been made, I should have been immensely relieved and gratified to know that you were exercising this supervision over Mary's life and interests. Very sincerely yours.

Dear Dr. Stearns: This morning I received your letter of June 5 with reference to arrangements you made for Mary with Miss Bickford. Judging from your description, I think the Sea Pines is an ideal place for the summer and Mary is well advised to stay there for the whole summer session. After the close of the session and before the opening of the college at Elmira,she may come to us at Ithaca if she cares to. This morning I received a letter from Mr.Sun dated "‘ay the 14th, in which he told me that he wrote to you on the 12th. I shall leave here next Wednesday for Ithaca to attend my class re-union and will be back here Monday or Tuesday. If there is any thing further I can be of assistance with the Elmira College authorities,please write or telegraph me care of Professor Charles Durham, Itheca, N.Y.

I am asking the Principal of Sea Pines to send you the literature of the school that you may have a clear picture of the place and its life and work. Miss Bickford writes me by this morning's mail that Mary seems increasingly contented and happy; so that I am disposed to agree with you that the best arrangement I can make for Mary is to continue the Sea Pines connection through the summer, and I hope that Mary herself will feel that this is really the best thing to do. I received only a few days ago Mr. Sun’s letter to which you refer. Apparently he is inclined to approve all of the steps we have taken thus far to provide for Mary’s 'further stay in America and her college course.

E. Stearns, Principal Phillips Academy Andover, Massachusetts My dear Mr. Stearns: I have just been talking with Mary, and her face looks happier. We are having beautiful weather so that the girls are sure to feel the exuberance of early June days, and I believe this will lift Mary’s spirits, also the excitement of Commencement activities is in the air, and perhaps she will enjoy being a part of the festivities. I hope Mary can be with us through the summer, but I realize that we must wait for definite word from Washington. As I told you over the telephone, the terms for the vacation weeks are $25.00 weekly, without charge for tutoring. The tutoring we are glad to do for Mary just for the sake of promoting international friendship among the girls. The camp season charge is $300.00. The enclosed blank indicates the professional discount. The summer’s tutoring is not an extra charge. We are trying to locate among our graduating class someone who would like to dispose of her rubber boots. These would serve Mary for the camp season. They are quite essential. About the sweater, she thinks perhaps she can manage with an old one that is in her trunk. One of our teachers who is a graduate of Elmira College has told Mary that she will need a blanket in college. We will see what we can do to provide Mary with a blanket that will serve for both camp and college,- this also perhaps from one of our outgoing students. She did not tell you her need for middies. We assume that you will want us to go ahead and order these for her camp use. Mr. Alfred E. Stearns We hope you will be glad, and Mary too, that she came to Sea Pines.

My dear Miss Bickford: Thank you for your letter which has just reached me and whichI have read with deep interest. Last night’s mail brought me a letter from Dr. Sze who expresses himself rather enthusiastically over the prospect of locating Mary with you this summer; and unless you find that Mary is stubbornly determined not to be happy down there and is likely in consequence to prove a disturbing factor in the situation, I am sure that the summer session with you will be far better for her in every way than would the Ithaca proposition, which for the moment seems to be the only reasonable alternative. I am making the application, therefore, in a formal way and shall write Mary what I have done. You have been very kind to take the girl for this short and trial period, as it were, and at such a reasonable rate. Any time you care to send me the formal bill, I shall be glad to send you a check for the same and promptly. Please do not hesitate to purchase for Mary whatever she requires for the school and camp life and work. I do not wish her to spend more than is necessary, of course; but she is by no means a charity pupil, and, while her father is shouldering a heavy expense in educating four of his children at the same time in America, he has always been ready to meet reasonable charges for the best that could be offered them, although equally anxious that they should develop no extravagant habits and taste. Whatever Mary may require, therefore, in the way of blankets, middies. rubber toots, etc., she should have. Again thanking you for the exceptionally friendly may in which you have cooperated in helping me solve a somewhat difficult problem, believe me Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E.

Dear Mary: Your letter of June 10 reached me yesterday, and, as this is the day of the Exeter ball game, I am rushed to death and can only send a brief reply now. First, I have instructed Miss Pickford to purchase blankets and whatever else you require for the summer, so that you will not lack for these necessaries. I am also going to send her at once a check as reserve for you to draw on, with her approval, when you need incidental expenses. As to the summer, I have had further correspondence with Dr.Sze, and in a letter received from him only yesterday have his warm approval of the Sea Pines Summer School as offering better advantages than the somewhat indefinite Ithaca plan which we first discussed. Frankly, I am sure that you will be happier and much better physically at Sea Pines than you would be at Ithaca, especially if we happen to have a hot summer; indeed I can't think of a better place or arrangement under which summer work could be done than those offered at Sea Pines. I have written Miss Bickford about the requirements for your admission. The Elmira authorities are going to be very generous with you and are giving you full credit for all the work you have done to date. They will require a little further work in Algebra, however, and feel, as do I, that such additional work as you can do in English and perhaps French will make the Freshman year much simpler for you and consequently much more satisfactory in every I will see about the trunk at once. Possibly it would be better for you to have all three sent down, so that you can look over your things at your leisure this summer and take what you will require to Elmira. As Miss Clemons is going abroad with Marjorie before the summer is over and will be gone for most of the coming year, at least, we shall have to make some other arrangements for your general- oversight, and I imagine that, under the circumstances my house would not be the best place for you to leave your belongings. Indeed I am not sure yet just how I shall conduct the house next year or whether it will be possible for me to make vacation provision for you and the boys. Consequently it would seem that it might be well for you to have any of your clothes or other belongings that you may wish to get at during the year with you at Elmira. So just you cheer up about that work and don't get discouraged. There is absolutely no reason why you should feel in doubt about your admission to Elmira. Just carry out the instructions which the college authorities have given, do your best this summer, but don't overdo, and I am sure you will go sailing into college well prepared to do the college work and in good physical condition to stand the strain. With every best wish to you, believe me always Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Mary Sun
