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
