 ACCCC: Oberlin News
Last May at the dedicatory services of the Martyrs' Memorial Arch, President King stated that Oberlin would be responsible for the support of a missionary in the Shansi field to take the place of one of the martyrs, as this station is the result of the efforts of Oberlin men entirely.
The Arch has already meant much to the Oberlin students, and if the establishment of the Shansi Fund is partly due to the erection of this memorial on our campus, as it surely is, we are thankful that we were favored with this sacred structure.
The present plan is to have a man out from Oberlin every fourth year so that he may be known by the students, thus giving them a personal interest in the work.
