Student conferences, 1911-1935
Scope and Contents
Documents concerning the planning, proceedings and evaluation of southwestern regional meetings of student Christian associations. Joint YWCA-YMCA southwestern region conferences meet to discuss the role of religion on campus and in their lives, social, economic and political problems and trends in the student Christian movement. Early regional conferences are not joint conferences but separate conferences students from the YWCA of the U.S.A. and YMCA. Additionally, separate conferences are held for African American student YWCA of the U.S.A. delegates. The title card for this microdex says microdex 3 but this is the fourth microdex on the film.
