Excerpt from The Church at Work in College and University A general survey of the student filed is the only way to bring to all the vision of the greatness and the glory and the far-reaching results to the Church of work in behalf of students. This book is the first attempt that has been made to set forth between two covers the Church's whole duty to her young men and women at college. Like all pioneer treatises it has defects. It will be for the good of the cause if constructive criticisms are sent to the writer. The conclusions of this book are not final, for student work is too new to be as yet beyond the experimental stage. It is rhetorically awkward in the English language to include men and women in the same sentence. The repetition of the words "men and women students," or the pronouns "he and she" in all their cases, is unpleasant to the eye and ear. Consequently the reader must in most cases consider the pronoun to be generic and the word "student" to cover both men and women.

The same kind of difficulty arises in regard to the references to college Church workers. The term "clergyman in the college community" must be interpreted as including, when appropriate, curates, deaconesses, parish visitors, and interested faculty people.
