I was hoping that there would be something on the Christian Americanization Movement, and specifically the International Christian Bible College, located in Minneapolis (original name of Crossroads College, now located in Rochester). Page 518 does have a brief portion on the work of Solomon David, a Dean at ICBC in 1915-1918. The book does not mention the work of ICBC, but does mention that Mr. David published a semiweekly Arabic-language paper, Al-Omma, for a few years. Mr. David went on to receive a Medical Doctor degree at the University of Minnesota and became famous as an orthopedic surgeon, practicing medicine for many years in Houston, Texas.
The book incorrectly names ICBC as the "International Bible College," a common mistake. The college was located at 1507 University Avenue SE, across the street from the main campus of the University of Minnesota, in Minneapolis.
