Excerpt from The Chinese Church as Revealed in the National Christian Conference: Held in Shanghai, Tuesday, May 2, to Thursday, May 11, 1922 The question arose as to whether or not the names of Chinese delegates should be printed in Chinese or Romanized. The systems of Romanization used for the names of Chinese. Delegates varied very widely, being in some cases unknown to) any but the user. It was impossible, therefore, to use any one system as the names thus revised would in many cases have been. Unrecognizable even to their owners and friends. The Committee therefore decided to print the names of Chinese delegates in characters only. The names of foreign delegates when sent in were not arranged in alphabetical order. As a matter of fact the arrangement depended somewhat on the dates of arrival in China and the desire to show the relation of delegates to the various groups that sent them. It was therefore finally decided to leave' these names in the order submitted to the Committee as it was felt that any other arrangement would probably have been less satisfactory to the different groups and people concerned.
