Raising the Standards of Family Life: Ginling Women’s College and Christian Social Service in Republican China

In the past the greatest fault of Ginling Women’s College was in only thinking of how fine, how fine, Ginling was in lifeless reading of a few books and engaging in so-called social service. But we didn’t know whom we were trying to reach with our service, nor what goal we were trying to achieve. Then doing only a few tiny superficial things was counted as social service. Therefore, when I think of all that in the past, I feel very ashamed.
