Stearns, Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts My dear Dr. Stearns: I have for some time been intending to write you concerning Miss Sun, though I fear I can not give a very different account than that conveyed in my letter of December 11th. Miss Sun I think is sincerely interested in continuing in the school. On the recommendation of the instructor in Physiology she took a second examination but again failed. Mr. Taft is of the same opinion that you expressed in your letter of December 12th, that it is a matter of lack of effort rather than of intelligence. He made a suggestion which I believe may bear very directly upon her problem, namely that she memorizes rather than comprehends. This would account for her meaningless answers to some of the questions which have greatly puzzled the examiners. Under ordinary circumstances we would have the student repeat the courses in which she has failed. For Miss Sun’s Physiology Mr. Taft has suggested as a better method that she be tutored. This would involve some expense. It would not perhaps be justified unless we are convinced that she can qualify in the other subjects. Miss Sun is very hesitant to have you troubled concerning the expense of tutoring. She feels she will be able to meet this from her allowance as her expenditures are very small. In the next six weeks she will have a particularly heavy program of theory. After careful consideration of the matter it was decided that it would be best to wait until she had completed this period, and if she was able to carry the subject satisfactorily we would then, with your approval, arrange to have her tutored in Physiology. Miss Sun herself has suggested that this be arranged during the summer. Our course, however, is an intensive one extending over twenty-eight months with a month’s vacation each year. I would believe it better if possible for her to have her month free from any such demand. May I assure you that we are not as yet prepared to say that Miss Sun should not continue. I personally am of the opinion that she is quite capable of doing the work, and that if we patiently seek for the means through which she can be effectively assisted that she will eventually complete the course with credit. Trusting that this will be in accord with your own desire Very sincerely yours Annie W. Goodrich Dean Annie W. Goodrich Dr. Alfred E.

Goodrich 330 Cedar Street New Haven, Conn. My dear Miss Goodrich: The morning’s mail brings me your letter of February 15 and one of the same date from our friend Mary Sun. Needless to say the news conveyed in both letters is not altogether pleasing. I am writing Mary advising her to follow your suggestions and to arrange for immediate tutoring in Physiology, for I agree with you that this should not be postponed until a brief summer vacation. I am assuming that you will be able and willing to recommend a competent tutor for Miss Sun. Mary's father is perfectly capable to bear the expense, and I am sure it is a legitimate one in view of the conditions that confront us at the moment. Mary's record at Yale has been a keen disappointment to me, and I have about given up trying to fathom her mind and purpose. Her father has always been extremely anxious that she should get a college degree in this country from one of our best colleges for women. It seemed very doubtful for several years whether Mary would be able to meet such high standards. I made a special trip to Washington to talk the matter over with Mr. Sze, the Chinese Minister, who is a personal friend of Mr. Sun, and on his recommendation entered Mary in Elmira College out in New York State. She was seemingly unhappy there from the start and floundered pretty steadily in her work. The Dean at Elmira gave me reports almost identical to yours and intimated that Mary had much more ability than she professed or than her achievements indicated. All of this time Mary was constantly pleading with me to be allowed to study nursing. Her father, being an old-fashioned Chinese, could not look upon nursing as a high grade profession. I vigorously advocated the plan to study nursing, however, believing that Mary would be able to do her best under the influence and inspiration of this profession. When she was a member of my household a few years ago, she impressed everyone there with her natural gifts in this direction. I finally succeeded in persuading Mr. Sun that this was the proper thing for Mary to do, and he gave his consent. You can understand, therefore, that it is tremendously disturbing to me to feel that Mary is not doing her best in this particular work for which she claims such a deep interest and in which she unquestionably has talent. Mary's older brother who is at Amherst and who is a sterling follow is as much disturbed over the situation as I am and is inclined to agree with me that if at the end of the year Mary shows that she cannot or will not meet the proper requirements of your school, she should be sent back to China. Anyway, I shall await with keen interest the results of the new arrangement and shall hope most earnestly to hear that Mary io making real progress with the assistance of such outside help as she may be able to secure under your guidance and approval. Very sincerely yours. Annie W. Goodrich Dr. Alfred E.

My dear Mary: I have this morning received your letter and in the same mail one from Dean Goodrich. I have just written Miss Goodrich expressing my approval of the plan to have you secure special tutoring in your Physiology. If with this outside help you are not able to bring your standing up to the proper grade, I think we shall be reluctantly compelled to agree that we must give up the idea of any further education for you in America. I should hate to do this, but I can't see how any other conclusion could properly be reached. What troubles me most is the intimation given by your Dean, an intimation which I also received from your Dean at Elmira, that you have not done work of a grade commensurate with your real ability. Perhaps they are mistaken but I did hope and believe, because of your seeming interest in nursing, that you would convince everyone from the start that you were giving yourself heart and soul to your studies, even though you might not be able to attain a high rank in them. Anyway, the thing to do now is to see Miss Goodrich at once and secure a good tutor. Never mind the expense. Before everything else you must establish your standing in the Yale School and not face the possibility of having to drop out of the end of the year. Very sincerely yours. AES/G Dr. Alfred E.

Steams Phillips Academy Andover, Mass. My dear Dr. Steams; I have been waiting to write you until I could give you as complete a report as possible of Miss Sun’s grades in the theoretical courses which are particularly heavy during the first six months of the course in nursing. You already know that Miss Sun failed in her course in physiology and psychology and that we were becoming very anxious lest she would be unable to continue in the school. I am happy to write you that although she has failed in another subject, the course in orthopedics, on the whole she has very definitely improved her grades and has been most earnest in her effort to make good. I will enclose a list of the subjects with the grades that she has made. She has now begun her clinical experience in one of the medical wards and the report is entirely favorable. I am planning in the immediate future to confer with Miss Sun and shall present to her our conclusion as to the desirable program in her case. After careful consideration of Miss Sun’s general standing, we believe that it would be best to allow her to continue with her clinical experience, not attempting for the present to make up the work in which she has failed. We believe it very possible that her clinical experience may be of assistance to her in taking the course in orthopedic conditions and possibly in physiology. She can repeat the latter course and the course in physiology with the incoming class in the fall. What we should have to ask her to do would be to make up the clinical experience lost by the additional time required for the theoretical work. I trust this arrangement will commend itself to you as equitable and advisable. I think we have every reason to believe that Miss Sun will carry on the course creditably. She has really done much better than I dared to hope she would when I last wrote you. Believe me Very sincerely yours, Annie W.

My impression is that Mary will do distinctly better when she comes to the practical side of the work than she has been able to do with the more distinctly scholastic side of it.

Dear Mary: Thank you for your good letter of April 30. I am more than pleased to learn that the work seems to be going better and that you have had a friendly word of approval from one of your teachers. I am enclosing a check for one hundred dollars, though I cannot gather from your letter how much you actually need at the present time. If you can be more specific, perhaps I can do better than this. As the account book is at the house at the moment. I can’t tell you off hand how much money I have sent you since you were at New Haven. I paid your college bills direct, however, so that when that amount is added in, the sun will naturally be larger. Anyway, I will try to enclose with this letter a brief summary to show you just how much you have used in the New Haven venture. With all good wishes, believe me Very sincerely yours, A3S/C M. Miss Mary Sun May 3, 1929 P. S. I find, that beginning with September, 1928, the following sums were sent to you and to the Yale Nursing School in your behalf. Sept. 28 Mary Sun $100.00 Nov. 3. Mary Sun $200.00 Jan. 5 Mary Sun $50.00 $350.00 Oct. 10. Yale University $50.00 Feb.1 Yale University $125.00 $175.00 During the previous summer, however, I sent you on June 5 $500.00 and later on August 4, at your special request, $300.00. You intimated that most of the latter would be required for your equipment at Yale, so I presume it would naturally be included in the Yale expense. Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Mary Sun
