I congratulate you on getting those extra credits at Columbia this year, and I hope, as I naturally believe, that you will be successful in securing the balance needed for your graduation at Middlebury at the early date mentioned in your letter. Here's wishing you every success, and the hope that we will have a chance to see each other before the fall term is over. Ever faithfully yours, Dr. Alfred E.

Stearns to Thomas Sun, Middlebury College September 30, 1926 Relation A related resource Dear Tommie: I have read with great interest your last letter and also that which you wrote to Mr. Eaton and which Mr. Eaton showed to me. Congratulations, and hearty ones on your successes to date! Don't let them turn your head, though, or prompt you to feel that the Freshman year is going to be any snap. You will have your hands full, I am sure, if you weather that year successfully, and of course we can't consider anything but a successful outcome. I have sent you $500.00, as you know, and in doing so I have some misgivings, naturally, in view of your past carelessness in handling money. My earnest hope is that, by putting this added responsibility on you, I shall be justified through finding that you have developed a clearer appreciation of money's value and a stronger will in keeping expenditures where they belong. If, when you seek to replenish your funds, you are able to render me a satisfactory account of the disbursement of the $500.00 in question, I shall be ready and glad to continue this arrangement, assuming, of course, that the money has lasted as long as it ought. If you can only do as well as Quincey and Charlie have done since they have been in college, I shall be delighted beyond words and at the first opportunity shall gladly pass on the good news to your father, who, I am sure, would be immensely relieved at such a report.

I am sending Charlie exactly the same amount and shall be interested to see how you two fellows come out in the end. Do you plan to spend all of the holiday season at Middlebury? Charlie writes that he expects to stay in Amherst for his. Accept my heartiest good wishes, please, for a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

I did send you then a check for $25.00 which I hope has reached you safely. Frankly, I sent the check with some misgivings, for I can’t for the life of me understand how you could have disposed of $500.00 in a single month, unless you have met most of your college expenses for a long way ahead. If this is not so, you will break all records before the year is over, and naturally I cannot view that prospect with anything but alarm. I felt so happy over your achievements last year that this wholly unexpected development comes as all the greater shock. I won’t comment on it farther, however, until I have received your detailed statement of expenditures which you have promised me.

On the whole, the report looks good to me, though I wish the French were higher. Keep up the good work. Keep me posted as to the developments in your summer plans, so that I may know where you are heading and what to figure on.

I had a good visit with Mary in Elmira Sunday and found her in the best of health and spirits. She plans to pass her Christmas holidays in Springfield with friends. Charlie will be in Amherst, and Arthur will be at work probably not far from Springfield; so that I imagine that it would be a mighty nice thing if you could arrange to spend a few days of your vacation in Springfield or Amherst. Anyway, come and see me as soon as you get away for your vacation, and we can talk it over. I only regret that I can’t from circumstances provide a welcome in my home this year, as in the past, for you Chinese friends. No boxes have appeared from China yet, but if they do come and are in condition to forward and so that you can be sure of receiving them before you leave, I will send yours on.

The problem you raise is too big for me to attempt to aid you in solving it through the media of a letter. My suggestion is that you plan to come down here during your Easter holiday so that we can have a chance to talk the thing out face to face. Frankly, though, I don’t see how you are going to keep your Chinese up much better if you drift to New York or some other center where there are more of your countrymen unless you do it at the expense of the college work which is your main job for the moment. I can not believe that your case can be very different from that of many Chinese boys who have been here before you and who on the return to their native land, while embarrassed a bit at first, have easily and promptly been able to revive and make use again of their native tongue.
