As Chairman of the Advisory Committee for the Beijing Center of Yale University, Mr. Shen, speaking on behalf of three donors, said: "There is a long history of links between Yale University and Chinese and Chinese students." Dating back to 1850, the first Chinese student, Rong Hong, began his study life at Yale. We marvel that Yale has brought together so many Chinese thought leaders, and we hope that the centre will further promote and expedite the efforts of Yale in all aspects and continue to deepen the extensive academic and cultural exchanges between China and the United States. Not only will it benefit China in the future, but Yale will also benefit.
