Student Summer Missions Collection, 1947-1959.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/192072747

The Student Summer Missions Collection contains William Hall Preston's papers, and documents the Summer Missions Program's development and implementation from 1947-1959 at the Sunday School Board's Student Department. Materials in the collection include correspondence, applications with photographs, reports on the program, and questionnaires answered by both students and the missionaries with whom they worked. Much of the correspondence are accounts from student missionaries sent to Preston. Some correspondence covers administrative matters, and relates primarily to coordination efforts between the Sunday School Board and the Home and Foreign Mission Boards. In their applications, students discussed why they want to serve, and some also included detailed autobiographies.
