520 $a The dissertation focuses on the history of Peking YMCA in the first half of the twentieth century. It consists of eight parts.
520 $a The “Introduction” briefly discusses some theories such as the social gospel, social service and cross-culture and some questions concerning the researches on the history of the Chinese YMCA.
520 $a The main body embraces parts 1 through 6, making detailed investigations on the establishment, development, frustration, revival, dilemma and failure of Peking YMCA. It stresses that Peking YMCA was established and developed with the help of the graduates from Princeton University who joined the missionary ranks. It was full of vitality in 1920s and the social gospel was widespread. After 1922, Peking YMCA suffered setbacks, while it made some responses. One of them was quick indigenization and consistent social services. Its services for the Chinese soldiers, students and refugees in the Anti-Japanese War won praises from the Chinese people. The dissertation also has a close examination on the thoughts and deeds of P. C. Hsu and Y. T. Wu, two Chinese Secretaries in Peking YMCA.
520 $a The ending part summarizes the dissertation and analyses the reasons of the Chinese YMCA's success and failure. It concludes that Peking YMCA failed in its propagation of the social gospel, but succeeded in the practice of social service, which promoted the early modernization of Peking.
