International House traces its origins to a chance encounter on a frosty morning in 1909 between Harry Edmonds and a Chinese student who had recently arrived in the U.S. Inspired to create a place for international students to feel at home and create a camaraderie with others, Edmonds would go on to serve as International House’s first President in 1924, and an abiding connection with China has continued for nearly a century. Thousands of Chinese graduate students have called International House their “home” over the years, and China has featured prominently in our cultural and scholarly programming. A tapestry bearing the ancient inscription “Within the Four Seas, All Are Brothers,” gifted by the daughter of Sun Yat-sen, has hung in International House since 1925, when we held a memorial service for her father, and, in 2004, I-House hosted “China Rising: Economic and Geopolitical Implications for the 21st Century,” moderated by Trustee Fareed Zakaria. This 2021 series on the future of U.S.-China relations aims to continue a discussion of one of the most important global topics of our time.
