...effort to allow students to speak to people with careers in politics and public service. The Office of Career Services co-sponsored the event. “I don’t see a lot of immigrants in the public service sector,” said Y. John Mei ’12, pointing to the similarities between his own background and Chao’s. “Therefore, it is particularly refreshing to see someone like her.” Chao, a graduate of Harvard Business School, has gone from being a banker to serving as Director...

Originally devoted to Chinese opera (it features, for example, the definitive catalog of memorabilia from the career of Mei Lanfang, the great Beijing Opera master who died in 1961 at the age of 67), the Kwok On Collection numbered thousands of pieces by the time it was housed in a small dedicated museum in Paris in the 1980s.
