And, China having from time immemorial, ranked the highest as a literary people, now awakens to the need of a change in her educational policy according to the changes of the time. In seeking for this modern educaiton for the people of China, her leaders have wisely chosen the educational institutions of the United States to satisfy their thirst for knowledge. The fact that the plan has proved to be successful is shown in the increasing number of Chinese students arriv- ing in this country each year, and the brilliant scholars that the American universities have produced. Among the five Chinese delegates to the Euro- pean Peace Conference, three of them arc American trained, from Cornell. Columbia, and Yale respectively. From the mere handful of government stu- dents at the close of the nineteenth century the number of students has in- creased steadily to nearly 1.500 today, including over a hundred women. The greatest impetus was given a little over ten years ago when the United States government decided to refund half of the Boxer Indemnity to the Chinese government in the form of educating Chinese students at the expense of this country. This fund now supports two thirds of the students here. This act of generosity has prompted a degree of genuine friendliness between China and the United States which does not exist between any other nations. When the first few Chinese students arrived here, the were taken care of by the Y. M. C. A. organization, chiefly in providing them facilities which lessened the difficulties of a stranger in a foreign land. But as the number of students increased in the various university cities, there followed the natural development of a community, that is a demand for social intercourse and united activities. This desire on the part of the students gave birth to the many Chinese Students’ Clubs which now numbers nearly twenty in all. These clubs have for their main object establishing and maintaining a spirit of fraternity and social activities among the students. The Chinese Students’ Alliance, established some fifteen years ago, is the central organiza- tion of the local clubs and keeps them in touch with one another by a monthly publication which enjoys a wide circulation also among the Ameri- cans. In the forming of the “Milwaukee Chinese Students’ Club of the School of Engineering,” we have added another cornerstone to the students’ alliance and pledged ourselves to further the glories of the students’ share in the mak- ing of China as great as a Republican nation to the aspiration of four hun- dred million souls. Realizing that the student of today will be the states- men, and the leaders of tomorrow, it becomes necessary that every student should prepare himself to the utmost to meet the tasks that are before him. For this reason, the club has provided a constitution, by-laws, and rules of R Page Four Hundred Forty
