I explained to her that we did not wish any one here who was not entirely happy at the thought of being at Sea Pines, and she has promised to be very helpful. Therefore, since receiving your letter of June 11, we have added her name to our Camp enrollment and are enclosing a statement. Will you be kind enough to return to us the enclosed application blank. I am glad to know that Dr. Sze is pleased with our plan for locating Mary at Sea Pines this summer. With kindest regards, I am Sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E.

Y. Sun 44 Cambridge Tientsin, China My dear Mr. Sun I this morning received your letter of April 31. Mr.Sze and I have had personal conference and have continued to discuss Mary’s case and plan for her future by correspondence. Your letter seems to express your full approval of the steps which we have been taking, a bit in the dark at times, I must admit, so far as your real desires were known to us. This morning’s mail also brings me a letter from the President of Elmira College, the college which both Mr. Sze and I decided was best fitted to meet Mary's needs, saying that after reading my letter the Committee on Admissions had decided to admit Mary on my recommendation, even though she may not be fully able to pass all of the regular entrance examinations. This is good news indeed, and the gratifying decision is no doubt due in large measure to Mr.Sze's personal influence and interest in the case. Of course for Mary's own sake it is imperative that, even though technically admitted, she should have covered as far as possible the full preparation required in order that she may not find the college work itself beyond her reach and too hard. With Mr. Sze's help, I am arranging for her to study during the summer under the direction and in the home of a competent member of the Elmira College faculty. I am sure that such a plan offers the best and most worth while kind of a summer that can be planned for Mary at Just this stage. Now that Mary’s case has been definitely, and I believe satisfactorily, settled. I most admit that the biggest problem I have on my bands at present and the cause of my chief worry is Tom. Tom is not doing well, and our combined efforts to rouse him and make him realize just where he stands and where he is heading seen thus far to have failed. At our last faculty meeting I asked Tom's teachers for full and frank expression of opinion on Tom and his problem. All are agreed that the boy can and should do letter work. Most of them also feel, as I have come to feel, that the boy has reached the point where he is not gaining additional benefits by the school connection here but indeed gives evidences of slipping a bit. We can't possibly graduate this June. By faculty vote he has just been put on what we call probation because of his low standing and because this is the customary penalty imposed on a boy with a record like Tom's. This means that, in the judgment of the faculty, it is altogether unlikely that the boy should be allowed to go on here next year. The more I have studied the case, the clearer I am that Tom is not yet quite ready for college and the freedom of collage , unless it be a small New England college somewhat separated from the temptations and activities of a big city. He might get into such a college next fall, but I doubt whether this would be rise. My inclination at the moment is to favor and favor rather strongly a year in a good military school, for Tom evidently needs discipline, to be made to do things accurately and on time and to obey orders promptly and without questioning - in fact to make those contacts and secure those influences which a prod military school supplies. I have been interested to find that several of my colleagues on the faculty who have known Tom most intimately share my views completely. When Mr. Robinson appears, I shall discuss the case with him fully and carefully, for I confess that I am troubled, and I must also admit that it seems out of the question for Tom to fulfill your wish that he should graduate from this school without forcing him to take another year, which would mean a good deal of repetition and a continuation of the same influences which have lately, at least, not proved stimulating to him. with the inevitable result of lessened ambition and effort on is part; and that, of course, would mean ultimate disaster and must be avoided at all costs. I appreciate more deeply than I can tell you the friendly and generous cooperation you have so readily given me at all times and the confidence you have so generously reposed in me as I have sought to carry out your wishes for your children. Naturally I am doubly troubled when the results most desired do not come or seem to be at least delayed. At any rate, I can assure you that to whatever extent I may have failed in aiding your children to obtain the goals which you have cherished for them, there has been no lack of willingness or interest and there has always been a sharing on my part of the disappointment and regret which have naturally been years. Believe me, with warm regards and friendliest good wishes. Very sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E.

Mr. Arthur Sun, Technology Dormitories Cambridge, Mass. Dear Arthur: I have your letter of August 10th and am enclosing checks as requested, one for Mr. Mirabelli and the other to you for advance allowance. Please send me the receipts promptly. You have really been dreadfully careless about bills and receipts, although I take extra pains to enclose addressed and stamped return envelopes whenever I send you a check. In spite of this, the receipts frequently do not come back until you have occasion later to write for money. This not only means extra trouble for me, but is distinctly unbusinesslike on your part. For your own sake, if you ever hope to be a success, do try to overcome this carelessness, and be careful and prompt in all matters relating to the handling of money. Tom has applied for admission to Middlebury College and is now tutoring at the Thorn Mountain Summer Camp at Jackson, New Hampshire. Mary is going to Elmira College, and has recently received notice that she is fully admitted. Tom troubles me, as usual. His final report in June with us was wretched, and, though he assured me that it did not represent the real work he had actually done, and that he would prove this on the college examinations, the college returns were equally bad. If he fails to get into Middlebury I am strongly disposed to give him a year in a strict Military School. Otherwise, I really think he ought to go back to China, for he appears to be drifting more and more until I wonder whether we can stop it. As to your job next fall. It seems to me that the best way to get at the thing is to interview some of your instructors there at Tech, who are constantly placing follows in positions such as you seek, and who can tell you far more than I can just how to go to work to find a position. Try this anyway, and then let me know what success you have. I shall be glad to help you in every way I can, but am naturally limited in my ability to do so. I am hoping to start for the lake the last of this week, and be there until school opens next month. If you have occasion to write, however, letters sent to Andover will be forwarded, and in any case, the receipts for the checks enclosed should be returned to the office here, and in the envelope I am sending with them. Ever sincerely yours. Arthur Sun Dr. Alfred E.

Dear Mary: Good for you, and hearty congratulations. I am glad that you are going to have no further worry for the sunnier, though I am sure that every bit of work you put in for the rest of the tine before college opens will prove of immense value to you, especially during the Freshman year. When you decide where you are going to visit after your summer session closes, be sure to let me have the addressee so that I can keep posted as to your whereabouts. I am still in Andover as you will note from this letter, though I hope to be able to get into the woods for two or three weeks before school reopens. I am returning the Elmira papers which you will doubtless need for reference. Always sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E.
