Scope and Contents

Documents concerning Student Christian Association conferences in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Conferences of student Young Women's and Young Men's Christian Associations meet to unite under common purposes and discuss the issues facing college students and members of the Student Christian Associations, international issues and the role of religion in the lives of the college student. Minutes of planning meetings and pre-conference materials sent to delegates concern the selection of discussion topics, the structure of the conference and arranging for speakers and discussion sessions. Conference bulletins and proceedings report on the conference sessions and discussion groups. Early conferences include only YWCA student groups and co-sponsored conferences begin about 1941.
