Pictures from Prof. Yao’s Presentation on March 10, 2015 Poster for the Event Dr. Shen, Head of the East Asia Library, introduces Prof. Yao before the talk Until just recently, the founding year of the library was believed to be 1902 …but this book, published in 1898, provides some contradictory evidence This photograph also holds a clue The audience listens intently The seals inside certain books also provided compelling evidence Eventually the University accepted the results of the research, and the date on the library logo was changed Charlene Chou, Head of Technical Services at EAL, gives a warm thank-you to Prof. Yao and to everyone for coming Lots of discussion and questions from the audience during the Q&A And a number of interested folks discussed individually with Professor Yao afterwards
