ABSTRACT

The report on the affairs of the New People’s Study Society is the history of its life. The New People’s Study Society is a living organism; its members are its cells. The New People’s Study Society has already been alive for three years now. Its membership has grown from about a dozen to over fifty people. Its members have spread out from its birthplace to many other locations, both at home and abroad. Its activities have also increased from just one to several. Although for most of the members this is a time of life for pursuing their studies and nurturing their abilities, this is also a very precious time. These three years have brought a new environment for the Society and a new life for its members. The most meaningful thing for the dozens of us is that, whether in groups or alone, we have led, in this new environment, a life different from that before. The function of this first report on the affairs of the Society is to relate selected important parts of the life of the Society and its members, as the opening section in the complete history of the Society and its members.
