From Rev Bill Wipfler

sends his “warmest greetings to the wonderful people who are giving new life to WSCF.” And is “very interested in attending the ‘old-timers’ event”… that “would give me an opportunity to meet with good friends I don’t want to miss.” He also writes, “Keep me informed.”

1946-47, Northwestern, then USA

From Eleanor Spiegel

Immediately following WW II, WSCF with 3 other national student organizations created the World Student Service Fund, later to become the World University Service. We were a group of US and international students traveling from campus to campus, raising funds for universities in Europe and Asia which had been destroyed by the war. It was primariy the YM and YW or SCMs which did the campus work. Wherever we spoke, we described WSCF which was active in many regions of the world. It's great that WSCF is e-emerging on US campuses again.

1960s, France

From Bill Nottinghm

The French Protestant alumnae/i of SCM dating from World War II was called the Post-Fédé, active in the 1960s. They were influential in various professions and prominent as lay leaders in the churches, with a strong Barthian leftist tinge. They met in a chateau at Bièvres, near Paris, and I enjoyed many seminars and consultations there. On one occasion, the speaker was Simone de Beauvoir. I pay my respects especially to Michel and Janine Philibert.
