Ray Lyman Wilbur

There is a constant growth and change and shift in emphasis in what we call society or social structure. The evolution of these social processes is going on about us all the time. Much of it we study and call history, but history is in the making in this present decade to an almost unprecedented extent. Under the guidance of Franklin, Washington, Jefferson, and their associates, the Constitution of the United States was put together as a result of age-old ideas and the great mass of new ones brought in by the movement most sharply characterized by the French Revolution.

Again we are in a period of revolution which is associated with industrial and social changes of major magnitude. The sharpest social reactions have been in Russia ; but after centuries of fairly uniform progress and crystallization, the hundreds of millions of the people of China are on the move. They rejected the past when they cut off their queues. They are assimilating the present at a rapid pace. Their young men and young women have been sent out to all parts of the world to gather experience and information and to become guides of China�s future. They have felt the impact of both the American and the present Russian economic social and political philosophies.

There is a gigantic struggle going on between these two ideas under hard conditions favorable to drastic changes. The leadership of Sun Yat-sen has had almost a religious significance. His writings not only show the changes that come with advancing years and a strong sense of responsibility, but reflect the influences that have come upon him. The interaction of mind upon mind shown by the effect of Mr. William�s social interpretation n of history upon Sun Yat-sen is dramatic, if not epochal. The soil has much to do with the growth of the seed which find lodgment in it. Sun Yat-sen�s mind was typical of that of the progressive Chinese. The points in Mr. William�s book found hospitable lodgment in his mind, and, interpreted by him, they have become of great significance in the unfolding of the new China.
