Managing God's Higher Learning

U.S.-China Cultural Encounter and Canton Christian College (Lingnan University), 1888-1952

Beschreibung

As the first co-educational institution of higher learning in China, Lingnan University made monumental strides in the education of Christian women, and it created a viable alternative to traditional Chinese models. Wang contends that Lingnan University found ways to adapt and 'layer' a Christian presence at a time when the nationalization and secularization of higher education was making rapid headway.
