刊登內容
本刊是留美中國學生出版的進步刊物，以集合留美同學，努力抗日救國，促進華僑利益，提倡中國建設為主旨，發表時事評論，學術論文及文藝作品，報導國內學生及各地華僑反日示威運動情況，並刊登該會會務訊息及會員錄。
該刊關心國事，力主抗日，積極促進保障華僑利益，刊載了大量這方面的文章，如懷仁的《中國對外貿易之現狀與前途》、鄭啟愚的《留美學生所負抗日救國之實際的責任》、卿汝楫的《論對日宣戰之不可再緩》、婁成後的《在美華僑之來源與出路》、唐錫朝的《美國勞工運動與華僑之前途》等；該刊還刊登了大量日本侵華和國內學生及各地華僑反日示威運動情況的照片，如《日人強迫中國兒童讀日本教課書》、《日賊訓練中國人打中國人》、《日軍大演習後,我廿九軍反應喧賓奪主行為,特亦舉行大規模軍事演習；平津人士大為振奮：北平學生特獻“國之干城”巨旗一面於廿九軍,由宋氏接受》等，對於宣傳抗日、覺醒國人的民族意識，起到了一定的作用。
該刊的一大創新是“過去的留美學生刊物全用英文”，以中文為主，部分內容用英文撰寫，目的在使此刊成為同學及華僑之公共喉舌，向聯合團結的道路上邁進一步。
此外，該刊還刊載了《留美同學錄：DIRECTORY OF CHINESE STUDENTS IN NORTH AMERICA》，增進留美同學之間的聯絡交流。
《留美學生月刊》對於宣傳日軍罪行，號召華僑關心國事、抗日救國，起到了一定的推動作用，同時，該刊登載的大量文章和圖片也為我們提供了寶貴的歷史研究資料。

附：EDITORIAL
This Monthly is published in pursuance with a resolution unanimously adopted by the Delegate Conference of the Chinese Student Associations in United States and Canada, held at Chicago during August 30 to September 5, 1935. That this monthly has a distinct and serious task to fulfill needs no explanation. There are more than 2000 Chinese students and a population of about 100,000 Chinese on this continent. As yet, they have no publication to serve as the channel of communication between themselves, and to represent their views, individually or jointly expressed to the national and international public.
It is true that we have had earlier issues of “The Chinese Students Monthly”. But the present publication differs from the other in some important aspects.
The former was published entirely in English, while the present journal is also published in Chinese. Moreover, our publication presents not only student activities as was formerly the case, but a nationalistic movement which is chiefly directed against the Japanese militaristic and imperialistic invasions in China.
In fact, under the strong Japanese duress, not only has the Chinese government been usurped, but also has the voice and patriotic activities of the people of the Chinese people been suppressed. Today, the general will of the people is expressed by and can only be seen through the Chinese students and nationals abroud. Representing these groups in United States and Canada, our monthly is therefore burdened with a task not heretofore assumed by any previous Chinese student organizations.
For the American public, we cherish an everlasting good will. There is, however, one point which should be expressed frankly. The Chinese people do not entertain for a moment the idea that the United States should fight Japan. On the contrary, any international war fought on the Chinese land and waters would be disastrous to the interests of our nation. Moreover, we do not trust any power of today to engage in a war disinterestedly. It is our purpose rather to strengthen the cordial relationship between these countries on the basis of mutuality and reciprocity. To promote this also falls to the task of this Monthly. We may, in all candor, express our opinions, register our protest and even reveal our resentment against some unequal relationship between the two nations, and the frequent mistreatment of the Chinese people in this country. But all this will be done in the spirit of sportsmanship in accordance with the principle of mutuality referred to above.
Finally, believing that pictures, like music, are the best international language, we would attempt to introduce more and more of them to both the American and Chinese public in the interest of greater mutual understanding.
