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.

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. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Lillian Fitzpatrick
