Excerpt from Yenching College, Peking, China, 1921
The bitter question was flung at a Yenching College girl by one of the wet-eyed, scarlet-cheeked women who were crowded into a Peking courtyard, listening, stirred and amazed, to the college girl's burning plea that the women citizens, a full half of the great Chinese republic, arouse themselves to the national crisis, shake loose from the nar row ignorance that bound them, and work together to save the nation. It was the challenge of the New China to the 01d, the challenge voiced by the Student Movement of 1919, when in all the educational centers the youth of China threw itself wholly into the task of arousing public opinion. The college girl, with her very heart in her words, had been pic turing China, with her enormous mass of four hundred mil lion souls, as just swinging out upon the world's highway, full of dim new hopes, only to meet foul play that had sent her staggering.
