A
Special Gift
Moved by the plight of peasants in China, Dr. Yien-Si Tsiang
began his life of public service with the study of agriculture.
In his policy making role, Dr. Tsiang was the architect
of Taiwan's land reform program, a policy that formed the
foundation for the country's economic modernization and
remains a model for other developing countries. Throughout
his many years of exemplary service to the government and
people of Taiwan, Dr. Tsiang distinguished himself as a
scholar, researcher, administrator and statesman. The Dr.
Y.S. Tsiang professorship in Chinese Studies was established
in recognition of Dr. Tsiang's outstanding contributions
through the generosity of the Chiang Ching-Kuo Foundation
for Scholarly Exchange, Far Eastern Textile Ltd., Liu International
Foundation, Ministry of Education, Republic of China, Taipei
Fortuna Hotel and United World Chinese Commercial Bank.
An International Business

reflects the University's recognition of the economic importance
of the Asian Pacific region. Dr. Fung's expertise in international
and Chinese business provides an invaluable resource for
