Calvin professor's book released from Stanford University Press

Daniel Bays, a professor of history and director of the Hubers Asian Studies program at Calvin College, is co-editor of a book released this spring from Stanford University Press. The book is titled, Christian Colleges: Cross-Cultural Connections, 1900-1950.

In the 432-page book a variety of authors explore the cross-cultural dynamics that existed on the campuses of the Protestant Christian colleges in China during the first half of the century.

"These campuses, most of which were American-supported and had a distinctly American flavor, were laboratories or incubators of mutual cultural interaction that has been very rare in modern Chinese history," said Bays.
