I expect to leave for Boston that afternoon, I will arrive in Boston that night. I will stay in Boston that night, and I expect to come out to Andover the next day, the 21st. In case if that day does not suit, please let me know, and I will be glad to change the date. That date, however, is the one best suited for me, because I expect to go down to New York to see Mary after I see you. But, if the date does not suit you, I think I can manage to change a date with Mary. I wrote her to-night that I will be able to go down there on the 22nd or the 23rd to see her. Please write me and let me know whether the 21st will be all right with or not. Sincerely yours Dr. Alfred E.

Herewith find enclosed a check for five hundred fifty dollars ($550.00) for your further college expense. Please sign and return the accompanying receipt. I realize that you have had extra expenses this year, though I am at a loss to understand how a college coach can justify his encouragement of extra if not perhaps unnecessary expenses for the members of his squad in connection with their football trips. There is bound to be added expenses for a boy on the football squad, I suppose, but certainly no coach has a right to add unnecessarily to this burden, which is a real burden to some boys. However, that water is already over the dam, so I won't discuss the matter further. On the whole, I think you have done pretty well with your expenses, though I note that they have been running somewhat higher than those incurred by Charlie at Amherst. Indeed, at your father's request, I have just sent Charlie in London a draft covering his balance, which amounts to a bit over thirty-five hundred dollars. Yours is very much less than that, as you will note from the statement recently sent you. So do be careful, for I hate to have to report to your father any very noticeable differences in the amounts that you boys are spending, and it naturally seems as if living at Middlebury ought to be if anything a bit cheaper than Amherst. I don't know what your father plans for your further study in this country, but I shall be only too glad to talk the matter over with you at your convenience and discuss with you all the pros and cons. Frankly, I don't see why you could not secure the German and French, if that is what your father wishes, about as well at Middlebury as at Harvard. This should certainly be true in the case of the French, which Middlebury has always emphasized. Anyway, let's talk the whole thing over when you can get down here. Let me know in advance, though, when you plan to make the trip so that we may be sure to hit a date when I am to be here. With all best wishes, believe me Faithfully yours, Dr. Alfred E.

I hope that it is a satisfactory one. I have a more detailed one, and I will be glad to send it to you if you wish it. You can see well, that making the football team is an expensive proposition. The trips to the other colleges cost quite a bit. In fact the coach encouraged amusement both before and after the game. The trip to Columbia University is an expensive one, because we went down there two days early and came back one day late. The other item of expense on that account is the cost of tuxedo. I figured that I rather buy one that is half decent rather than one that I could get for 19.00 dollars. Besides these two items the other expenses are annual, such as the college bills and the house bills. I have a few bills yet to be paid which amount to about fifty dollars such as a overcoat, overshoes, Christmas cards, etc. This Christmas I expect to go to Boston and then to Andover to talk things over with you, and then I will go to New York where I expect to see Mary. I have been thinking seriously of remaining here for the second semester instead of going to either Harvard or Columbia. I have been elected Chapter Editor in Chief of the Delta Epsilon paper which is a whole year's office, and I stand an excellent chance of getting the Chapter Presidency, and in case if I should get such offices, it is only right that I should remain here till my term expires which will be after the second semester starts. Furthermore, if my father insists that I should go to Harvard, I will have to have both German and French. I have no knowledge of German whatsoever, and only slight knowledge of French. If such be the case, I think I rather stay here for studying both of those languages. However, I will make no further remarks till I have a talk with you. I will need another $550.00 to last me till Easter, During that time, I expect to have Mary up here for a few days for a visit which will cost in the neighborhood of $50. That money will take care of all the expenses which I will incur during that period. If you will let me have that money by the end of this week or the first of next week, I will appreciate it very much. I like to pay those bills off as soon as possible. At the beginning of next week, there will be another collection in the house, I think, for money to purchase a new piano, and I like to contribute my share. So by the first of next, please let me have the money.

We have had Chinese here at Phillips Academy who have made the baseball team, as you know, and quite a number have proved excellent soccer players. I think, though, that you will have the proud distinction of being the first one to make a varsity football team, if you are successful in attaining that goal. Good luck to you! By all means, we must arrange to have a good talk together some time about your future work. When the rush is over, just keep me posted about your future work. When the rush is over, just keep me posted and I am sure that we can work out a satisfactory date. With all good wishes, believe me Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E.

I hope it is satisfactory. It is in a condensed form. I have the original form which you may have upon request. Due to the raise in the tuition in Middlebury college of twenty-five dollars per semester, and also due to the fact that I plan to take an extra course which cost twenty-five dollars, I have to ask for 550.00 dollars instead of 500.00 as I did in the past three years. I could make that fifty dollar saving by eliminating some of the things which I plan to buy, but as Charlie is going home this year, I also wish to have some money to buy something for the folks at home. I hope you understand my point. By the statement, you can see that I have now $5.75 left. That will last me for meals in Middlebury about five days. I do not have to pay for any room, because I am staying at the Fraternity House. So if you can send me the money ($550.00) by the middle of the coming week, I will be very thankful. I passed all the courses I took this summer at Columbia with two Bs and one C. That gave me seven more credits toward my graduation All I need now is one semester’s work to get fifteen more credits. Then I will graduate in three and half years. The reason, I want to take the extra course is that I want some margin of safety. I am now out for football, I am not on the training table, however, because the coach did not ask me to come back for training camp. I am just back here for football on my own. I plan to make a trip to Andover to have a talk with you sometimes this fall concerning the place where I go for post graduate work. If I make the football squad, I will have to postpone that trip till the season is over. Please let me have the money by the middle of the next week. Sincerely yours Dr. Alfred E.

I received a letter from my father to-day. He stated very emphatically that I should remain in this country another [year] to get a degree or "learn some profession. I took it for granted that he meant Political Science. I am glad of a chance to further my studies, and I have made plans accordingly. Under the circumstances I will have to waste half of a year. I graduate from Middlebury at Mid-years. My original plan was to come to Columbia right at the beginning of the second semester to study for the rest of that semester and the whole of the next summer at the end of which I planned to receive my Master's degree, but unfortunately the rules at Columbia requires a year of residence in Columbia or its equivalent. That means that I can not get my master's degree at the end of the next summer session and I will have to stay here another semester in order to fulfill my one year’s residence. I have considered Harvard where I might do my graduate work, but my opinion about that institution is not very high. I have considered Syracuse. There is a special school there called the School of Citizenship and Public Welfare. This is an unique institution. I can get a five hundred fellowship there besides my tuition, because as a rule they give that to almost everyone that attends that school. It is a school and a part of Syracuse University. It is merely a special class of five or six. But what I have against it is the name of the school. A degree from Syracuse is worth no more to me anyway than a special privilege to go to a museum, because I don't like museums. In the same way I do not like Syracuse, and I believe that a diploma or a degree from there is not a honor, but almost a disgrace. Therefore I have also discarded that idea. Therefore the only institution left that I like is Columbia. I want to have your advise on the matter. I will have no chance to see you this summer, because I will be going up to Middlebury before you come down to Andover. But I will try to get down by Christmas time, if I do not have too much work to do. Trusting that you will have time to give me some sound advise [sic], I remain Sincerely yours Dr. Alfred E.
