Author Description

Excerpt from Ginling College, Nanking China, 1921 And so you must know of our new property and the plans for our new site. The population of N anking, over three hun dred thousand people, are concentrated about South Gate, so the great grey wall of the city, twenty-one miles around. Encloses hills and fields and an occasional deserted village. On some of these hills in the west of the city, where instead of a compound wall twelve feet high our horizon is the sky line, with the moon at times rising from behind Purple Moun tain and the Drum Tower silhouetted against the eastern sky, and on the other side the sunset making a golden bar of the Yangtse River - on these hills Ginling owns thirty acres. N ow that the several plots in which it was bought are sur veyed and the sixty odd corners marked, and now that the removal of the more than a thousand tombs, which make land buying in China such a grave matter, has been about ac complished, this is where you may dream your dreams of Gin ling, and this is where you may make them come true. Just turn to the center of this pamphlet for a bird's-eye view of the buildings proposed. These buildings represent invest ments that appeal at the same time to high adventure and business acumen.
