The Shanghai Branch of the American Association of University Women met at the Y.W.C.A. Hostel House, 201 North Szechuen Road, on Tuesday afternoon for a tea and a business meeting. There were more than 200 members in attendance.
At the business meeting which followed the tea, a resolution was unanimously adopted severely criticizing the Chinese Government's decision to exclude Chinese high school girl graduates from participating in the University education, given to boys under the Boxer Indemnity awards. It was the sentiment of the meeting that official protests should be lodged with the Government at Peking as well as with the Chinese Minister at Washington.
There was a lively discussion over providing ways and means to raise a scholarship fund to be awarded yearly to one American high school girl graduate to assist in defraying her collegiate educational expenses in the United States. The Chairman was empowered to appoint a committee to discuss the project, to evolve a method of selecting the candidate, and to report progress at the next meeting.
