    Acknowledgments

    The university owes special gratitude for preparation of this booklet to Bentley Historical Library of the University of Michigan. Bentley librarians have meticulously catalogued and curated many crucially important historical documents, including much of the source material for this booklet and most of the pictures.

    This booklet is the latest in a series of past accounts of the University of Michigan’s ongoing relationship with China. Previous versions were edited by Jen Zhu (徐臻), and important contributions to this latest version were made by Shuxin Hua (华树新), Mike Thompson (董明旷), Tiantian Liu (刘天天), and Erzhan Xu (许尔瞻).

    Special thanks also to Mary Gallagher (高敏), Director of the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies and to Jason Colman of Michigan Publishing.
