He was deeply interested in your work among the university
students and hopes that it will bear much fruit. The youth is open-minded,
unhampered by prejudice and ready to accept any message that satisfies his
spiritual longings as well as intellectual demands. The work should, however,
be both intensive and extensive. It is not sufficient that you should address
many student bodies; persons have to be found to follow up that work, pick
those who are interested to know more and ground them in the teachings. This
task undoubtedly pertains to the teaching committee which should always be on
the alert, see where there is a receptive group and send teachers to bring them
into the Cause.

Effendi to an individual believer; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. II,
