View Full Image

This map visualizes the hometowns and Madison domitory addresses of Chinese students who enrolled in regular courses at UW-Madison (excluding summer school) from 1907 to 1920, in a total of about 160.

The purpose of producing these maps is to make the public aware of the longevity and magnitude of U.S.-China higher education exchanges based at the UW-Madison, and to help researchers analyze the human geography behind early Chinese students studying in the U.S. and assess the impact the study abroad experience on their later lives.

This project is part of the "Chinese Badgers/Badgers in China" event by Center for East Asian Studies, which is reported on news of The Daily Cardinal.
