Conducted under the auspices of the Princeton University Center in China and Peking Young Men's Christian Association, this survey contains data from questionnaires collected from a cross-section of the local population between September 1918 and December 1919. The result, first published in 1921, was a comprehensive record of all aspects of life and conditions in the capital - from government, health and education, to commercial life, recreation, poverty and philanthropy.
