SynopsisYenching University was perhaps the most impressive example of Sino-Western cooperation in the twentieth century. In charting the ebb and flow of university life, this definitive work sheds light on the intellectual, social, and diplomatic forces at work in this transitional period in Chinese history. In his handling of intercultural history, West has a keen appreciation for the interplay of political forces and individuals. The demise of Yenching and the breakdown of Sino-Western relations generally are seen in terms of the individual behavior of Yenching personalities, the pressures of Communist ideology, and also Western diplomacy surrounding the Korean War.

Fine Scholarly Work
Phil Weat was a meticulous scholar, and the book incorporates many interviews with Yenching alumni. It is a valuable study that sheds much light on Sino-Western educational relations in the early 20th century.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
