China Institute owes its inception to three celebrated
Columbians: the New Culture Movement leader Hu Shih (胡適), the
world-renowned philosopher John Dewey and the international educational leader
Paul Monroe.
Shortly after Dewey returned to New York,
Monroe was invited
by Hu Shih and others to go to China to lecture
and conduct surveys.
