A statue of Yung Wing, Class of 1854, was moved over the summer from Sterling Library's Memorabilia Room to the exhibition corridor. Yung, later an educator and diplomat, was the first Chinese person to graduate from an American university. The bronze statue was donated to Yale by Yung's hometown, Zhuhai, in 2004.  |
