In t e course o. your career, you met and worked wit many fascinating people, figures w o made and moved istory. Could we today discuss some o. t ese people in greater lengt and dept and, in t e process, get a more sub0ective view o. events1 Starting in S ang ai, w o were t e Americans and C inese wit w om you came in contact and w o le.t an impression, positive or negative1 DR 9RI0HT: As for Shanghai, of course, in the consulate general .e had 1d.in S. Cunningham. He had been consul general there for almost 20 years .hen I came onto the post. He .as an old line officer. He came from Tennessee. He .as basically a treaty port type, having lived in Shanghai all those years. I thin7 he .as a hard-.or7ing officer, and he certainly devoted himself to loo7ing after American interests there. He .as follo.ed by Nathaniel Davis, an interim appointee, .ho later .as ambassador to Israel. Davis .as a hard-.or7ing officer, but hadnFt enough time there to ma7e much of a mar7. He .as follo.ed by Clarence 1. 0auss, .ho had a long career in China, albeit one that .as limited to the treaty ports. Dy Gtreaty ports,G I mean those cities along the coast of China. 0auss had a legal mind. In fact, he .rote a consular manual, a legal manual, for the Service , that .as follo.ed for years. He .as much onto his consular .or7. He .as conscientious and very hard .or7ing, but he seemed, to me, never to penetrate much into the Chinese mind. He had never made a study of China, as far as I could see, or studied the language or the history of the culture. He .as mostly intent on his .or7 as a consular officer. Cater, of course, as I thin7 I mentioned in my previous intervie., he became ambassador to China in Chung7ing, and spent about three years there. I thin7 he .as a superb consul general, but he .asnFt cut out, in my opinion, for the job of being ambassador because of his limitations in 7no.ledge of the Chinese and .hat made the tic7. %: In terms o. contact in t e consulate general, in addition to taking care o. American interests, I believe t is was t e time t at t e Japanese were intruding t emselves into C ina. Did you ave occasion to come in contact wit any o. t e Japanese w o ad an impact on C inese istory at t is time1 DR 9RI0HT: I 7ne. a consul in the 8apanese consulate general, and IFve forgotten his name Hed. note: GTerryG Terasa7i .ho later served as interpreter in the meeting bet.een 9acArthur and 1mperor HirohitoI.

They live unto themselves mostly, and I didnFt have many contacts .ith 8apanese. %: 2 at about t e di..erences between t e C inese factions1 2as t is apparent in S ang ai in t is period, and was t ere any contact wit 3uomintang leaders or communist leaders1 DR 9RI0HT: We, in the consulate, had, through our position, contact .ith the mayor of Shanghai, .ho at that time .as a man named Chung. Chung later became Secretary 0eneral of the Kuomintang, so he .as a party man. Dut I could say that Shanghai .as some.hat out of the center of political happenings and events in those days. %: T at4s interesting. 2 at appened in Hangz ou1 2 at was t e situation t ere, and w o were some o. t e personalities t at you came into contact in t at position1 DR 9RI0HT: I had t.o assignments to Hang:hou. When I .ent there first in 1932--that is more than 57 years ago--Walter A. Adams .as the consul general. He .as not .hat .e .ould call an old China hand, even though he spent some years in China. He did not pursue the language or seem to ma7e much of a study of China, and, in fact, .hen I had a chance to go to Pe7ing to study Chinese, I as7ed him .hat his vie. .as, and he suggested it .ould be better if I didnFt do it. As a consular officer, I thin7 he .as a good one. He .as not married at that time, although he did get married later. He played a lot of bridge and he .ent to the club. He enjoyed himself in his post there. 5 For the second assignment there, .hen I .ent to the consulate general, .e had Paul R. 8osselyn. Paul .as a China language officer and .as a good officer, but he suffered from ill health and .as not, therefore, very active. As for activities in Hang:hou, there .erenFt very many during my first assignment, .hich lasted less than one year. I .as actually onto economic .or7 mostly there, submitting reports monthly and, in bet.een, interim reports to the commercial attachJ, .ho had his office in Shanghai. 9y second assignment there came as the 8apanese .ere stepping up their activities in China, and, in fact, .ithin a fe. months of my arrival there in 8uly of 1937, the .ar started.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

    Looking into the Mirror of History: Educational Relations between the University of Minnesota and China (1914-2018)1 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Hui Bi IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Dr. Gerald W. Fry and Dr. Andrew Furco, co-advisers August 2018 © Hui Bi 2018 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Ideas are never developed in isolation; they always require the stimulation and the support of a community of people. In my case, the intellectual and emotional debt I have accumulated since I embarked on this project is enormous. I am greatly indebted to my parents for their unconditional love and support for so many years, even though no words can express fully the filial love and gratitude their daughter has felt for them. My thanks also go to my husband, Tian Tang, for his persistent confidence in my ability, and to my son, Harvey, for being my source of joy and inspiration everyday. I would like to express my deep gratitude to my advisors, Dr. Gerald Fry and Dr. Andrew Furco, for all their great patience and support which made it possible for me to carry out this study. Thank them for guiding me through my doctoral journey with their insights and expertise. I am also greatly indebted to the outstanding committee members, Dr. Christopher Johnstone, and Dr. Ann Waltner, for their invaluable suggestions on the drafts of this dissertation. I would like to thank my professors at the College of Education and Human Development. What I have learnt from their classes has been extremely beneficial for me to carry out this project.
