Description
An account of the resource
A campus-wide conference was convened in 1992 to respond to the problem. The purpose of the conference, entitled "Suffolk University: Rebuilding a Diverse Community," was to coordinate, strengthen and expand diversity-related efforts in a comprehensive way. The aim of the conference was two-fold: 1) to present University members with a design-in-progress for systematically creating a multicultural campus and 2) to receive broad input in refining that design. With the sanction of President David Sargent, an ad hoc task force of faculty, administrators and students worked for some months to develop a plan for diversity at Suffolk. The work was structured as a special segment of the larger University Strategic Planning process, and it paralleled efforts on several college campuses nationwide. Task force efforts resulted in the plan presented here.

Suffolk University Class Profiles: a research guide
Moakley Archive and Institute

archives@suffolk.edu
Introduction
In 2006, the Moakley Archive completed a research project to find out more about
Suffolk University Law School’s earliest graduates. This guide includes information
about the classes and biographical information about a selection of graduates discovered
using sources such as Suffolk University records, U.S. Census records, and other sources
such as local newspapers. The classes covered were limited to 1909-1915 because there
weren’t adequate records for the earliest classes of 1906-1908.

Early Law School Student Profiles
Roland Edward Brown, Suffolk Law School 1909
Roland Edward Brown was born August 26, 1880. 1 His mother, Margaret (b.
1857), was born in Canada, and his father, whose name is unknown, was born in
Massachusetts. 2 The 1900 census indicates that at that time, 19-year-old Roland was
living at 178 Columbia Street, Cambridge, Mass., with his 15-year-old brother, Chester
(b. 1884), his mother, and his stepfather, William Hamilton (b. 1869 in Canada), who was
a carpenter. 3 Margaret and William had been married for one year at that point. 4 The
census also indicates that Margaret had given birth to two other children in addition to
Roland and Chester, only one of whom was still living. 5 Also residing with the family
were two boarders. 6
In 1900, Roland E. Brown was serving as an apprentice in the chemical industry. 7
In 1901, he married a woman named Ethel Blanche. 8 His son, Alphonso, and daughter,
Margaret, were born less than two years apart around 1902 to 1904. 9 In December of
1906, he began the winter term at Suffolk Law School, enrolling in Torts and Criminal
Law classes. 10 In June of 1908, Gleason Archer gave him “the certificate of two years’
study” that enabled him to take the bar examination, even though he was only in his
junior year. 11 Archer indicates that Brown was “a machinist by trade,” but nonetheless in
June, 1908, became Suffolk Law School’s first student to pass the bar exam. 12 He
graduated in 1909 as one of five students in the first Suffolk Law School class. 13
Roland E. Brown’s employment history is somewhat ambiguous. He was an
apprentice in the chemical industry, and Gleason Archer writes that he was a machinist,
but the 1913 Cambridge Directory lists him as a lawyer. 14 Archer also writes in 1919
that while he did become a lawyer, Brown chose not to enter into active law practice in

favor of working for the Barbour Stockwell Company of Cambridge. 15 Brown’s
profession in the 1920 census is unclear, but the place of employment appears to be
Stockwell Co. 16 Both the 1923 Cambridge Directory and the 1923 Boston Register and
Business Directory list him as a lawyer, and the 1930 census lists his place of
employment as a court. 17 While the time frames are unclear, it is evident that Brown
was in fact a lawyer and did in fact work for the Stockwell Company at some point in his
life. Beginning in at least 1913 until at least 1930, Brown lived at 10 Centre Street in
Cambridge, and in 1923 his law office was located at 40 Court Street in Boston. 18
________________________________________________________________________
George Louis Bush, Suffolk Law School 1909
Very little is known about George Louis Bush. He enrolled at Suffolk Law
School during the second week of classes in the fall of 1906 and graduated in 1909 as one
of five in the school’s first graduating class. 19 In his “Sketches from Life” for a 1919
Suffolk Law School pamphlet, Gleason Archer indicates that George L. Bush at some
point relocated from the Boston area to Wisconsin to practice law. 20 George L. Bush is
listed in both the 1928 and 1936 Suffolk Law Alumni Directories, but neither directory
lists an address for him. 21
________________________________________________________________________
Carl Collar, Suffolk Law School 1909
Carl Collar was born on June 4, 1885, to William (b. 1865) and Alice Collar (b.
22
1862). He was the oldest of three children in a family of two boys and one girl. 23 By
1900, the family lived on Crescent Avenue, Revere, Massachusetts. 24 The household
also included a nephew (b. 1878) and a niece (b. 1883). 25 All members of the family,
including the niece and nephew, were born in Maine. 26 In 1900, 14-year-old Carl Collar

was attending school while his father was employed as a carpenter and his mother was
not employed. 27
In 1904, Carl Collar’s second cousin, Gleason L. Archer, tried to convince him to
attend the Boston University College of Liberal Arts, but Collar instead began working at
a Boston steamship company whose office was located on State Street. 28 In 1906, at age
21, Collar began studying law under Gleason Archer. 29 In January on 1909, Collar, then
a senior at the Suffolk School of Law, became the second of Archer’s students to pass the
Massachusetts Bar Examination. 30 He graduated in 1909 as one of five in Suffolk School
of Law’s first graduating class. 31
By 1918, Carl Collar was living in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, with his wife, Mary
(b. 1889 or 1890), and his young son, Carl, Jr. (b. 1917). 32 The Collars evidently spent
some time in California, as Carl, Jr. was born there. 33 He was employed as a clerk by the
International Mercantile Marine Company located on Broadway in New York City. 34 By
1919, he was an accountant for the White State Line, a subsidiary of the International
Mercantile Marine Company. 35 By 1920, he and his wife and son were living in
Rutherford, New Jersey, where they lived until at least 1930. 36 He was at that time
working as a bookkeeper for a shipping company, presumably the White Star Line, where
he continued to work until at least 1928. 37 He probably continued to work there until at
least 1930, when the census lists his occupation as accountant in the shipping industry, or
possibly until at least 1936, when his business address was 1 Broadway, New York City,
a probable location of the White Star Line Office. 38

George Arthur Douglas, Suffolk Law School 1909
George Arthur Douglas was born in 1884 in Massachusetts. 39 His mother, Susan,
moved to the United States from Ireland in 1865. 40 His father (name unknown) was also
born in Ireland. 41 George was one of seven children, but by 1910 only he and two of his
siblings were living. 42

In 1906, George A. Douglas enrolled at Suffolk Law School, graduating in 1909
as one of five in the school’s first graduating class. 43 By 1910, 26-year-old George was
living at 14 Grant Street, Boston, Mass., with his 70-year-old widowed mother and 72year-old aunt, Mary J. Douglas. 44 He was employed as a lawyer in his own law
practice. 45 Also in 1910, he began teaching at Suffolk Law School and continued to do
so until 1934. 46 Around 1918, he married a 21-year-old woman named Norma who was
born in Massachusetts but whose mother and father were born in England and Germany,
respectively. 47 He still had his own law practice, which by at least 1923 was located at 6
Beacon Street, Room 216, Boston, Mass. 48 He and Norma lived at 1754 Col[onial?]
Road in Boston, as did Norma’s brother, Herman Hemmem, a druggist who at that time
was unemployed. 49
Around 1921, George A. Douglas’ daughter, Audrey, was born, and around 1924,
his son, George, was born. 50 By 1930, the Douglas family was living at 86 Blue Hill
Parkway in Milton, Mass. 51 Also residing with them was their 22-year-old servant, a
man whose last name was Jones and who had come to the United States from Ireland in

River. 56 He had at least two sisters and two brothers. 57 He attended both the Fall River
public schools and the parish school of Sacred Heart Church in Fall River. 58
In 1895, at the age of 17, James F. O’Brien enlisted in the Navy, serving during
the Spanish-American War and the Philippine Insurrection. 59 When he was honorably
discharged from the Navy, he enrolled at Rogers and Allen Business College. 60 Prior to
enrolling at Suffolk Law School in 1906, Gleason Archer writes that O’Brien had tried to
enroll at several other law schools, but was turned away. 61 Archer decided to give him a
chance, and although O’Brien was almost forced to drop out, he ultimately graduated in
1909 as one of five members of the school’s first graduating class. 62 He was able to
finance his education by working at Suffolk Law School as a janitor, in Gleason Archer’s
office and at a restaurant. 63 After passing the bar in 1911, he opened law offices in Fall
River and New Bedford, Mass. 64
In April of 1917, James F. O’Brien voluntarily enlisted in the Navy upon the
United States’ entry into World War I. 65 He served in a variety of posts, including
gunnery instructor, battalion commander and lieutenant, before being honorably
discharged in September of 1919. 66 In 1922, he ran unsuccessfully as a Democratic
candidate for Bristol County district attorney. 67 He served as judge advocate of the
Spanish American War Veterans and was a member of many other veterans and fraternal
organizations, including the United Spanish War Veterans, American Legion and the
Fraternal Order of Eagles. 68
On July 7, 1923, James F. O’Brien suffered a stroke from which he never fully
recovered. 69 He died in 1925 at the age of 47, survived by his wife, Elizabeth V.
O’Brien, four daughters and two sons, as well as two sisters, two brothers, and his
mother. 70

Lewis Austin Adams was born on November 12, 1886, in Booth Bay Harbor,
Maine to Frank and Elizabeth Adams, both also of Maine. 71 He was the oldest of five
children in a family of two sons and three daughters, although at some point prior to 1900
his mother had given birth to a child that by that year was no longer living. 72 By 1900,
the family had moved from Maine to Boston, Mass., where his father was employed as a
motorman. 73 They lived at 90 Whitfield Street. 74 At this time, 13-year-old Lewis was
attending school. 75
Around 1907, Lewis A. Adams enrolled at Suffolk Law School, graduating in
1910 as one of ten in the school’s second graduating class. 76 At this time, he was still
living with his parents and four siblings, although by 1910 the family had moved to 16
Westville Street in Boston. 77 In April of 1910 he was working as a glassworker in a shop,
but by 1917 he had his own law practice at an office on Tremont Street in Boston. 78 Also
by 1917 he had moved to 306 Washington Street in Boston, presumably with his parents
and siblings since the entire family, except his sister, Florence, was living at that address
in 1920. 79 According to his draft registration card, Lewis A. Adams was not able to join
the Armed Forces during World War I because his left leg was disabled and he was nearsighted. 80
By 1920, 33-year-old Lewis A. Adams was still single and living with his parents
and four of his siblings at 306 Washington Street, and still had his own law practice. 81

James T. Bergen was born around 1884 in Massachusetts to Canadian parents. 82
His mother, Honora Bergen, was widowed by 1910. 83 By 1910, 26-year-old James was
living at 97 [Lauriat] Avenue, Boston, Mass., serving as head of a household that
included his 60-year-old mother, his 28-year-old brother, Joseph, and his 23-year-old
sister, Margaret. 84 His mother had given birth to seven children, but in 1910 only four of
them were living. 85 By April of 1910, James was employed as a letter carrier for the
United States Mail Service. 86
Later in 1910, presumably after three years of study, James T. Bergen graduated
from Suffolk Law School as one of ten in the school’s second graduating class. 87 By
1920, he had moved to Detroit, Michigan, where he lived in an apartment at 27 Palmer
Avenue West and was employed as a lawyer. 88 By this time 38-year-old James had been
married for about two years, but his wife did not live with him. 89 A man named William
J. Topley, who was evidently James’ business partner, did live with him. 90
By 1930, James T. Bergen was still employed as a lawyer in Detroit and had
bought a house at 10427 American Avenue. 91 At this time, his wife, Mildred, was living
with him, as was his 39-year-old sister-in-law, Esperance Lee, and his and Mildred’s
adopted daughter, Mary, who turned two in the summer of 1930. 92 By 1936, his law
practice was located at 709 Hammond Building in Detroit. 93

Ernest Palmer Bradstreet Suffolk Law School 1910
Ernest Palmer Bradstreet was born in 1882 in Massachusetts. 94 His parents were
also born in Massachusetts. 95 Around 1907, at age 25, he enrolled at Suffolk Law
School. 96 Around 1908, he married a woman named Clara, who was about 23 years old
at the time. 97 One year later, his son, Ernest R. Bradstreet, was born. 98

By April of 1910, Ernest P. Bradstreet and his family were renting part of a house
at 60 North Putnam Street, Danvers, Mass. 99 The house was owned by 81-year-old
Elijah Bradstreet, who lived there with his wife, 76-year-old Ellen, and daughter, 55year-old Ella. 100 The relation between Ernest and Elijah is unclear; it is possible that
Elijah was Ernest’s father, although if that was the case, Elijah and Ellen would have
been 53 and 48
years old, respectively, when Ernest was born. 101 By this time, Ernest was self-employed
as a music teacher. 102
Later in 1910, Ernest Bradstreet graduated from Suffolk Law School as one of ten
in the school’s second graduating class. 103 By 1920, however, at age 37, he was
employed at a railroad station working with the telegraph system. 104 He was still renting
part of the house on Putnam Street, although ownership of the house had transferred to
Ella Bradstreet, most likely following the deaths of Elijah and Ellen. 105 No evidence has
been found that he practiced law.
Emanuel Cohen, Suffolk Law School 1910
Emanuel Cohen was born on May 22, 1882 in England. 106 He came to the United
States sometime between 1900 and 1907. 107 He enrolled at Suffolk Law School in 1907
and graduated in 1910 as one of ten in the school’s second graduating class. 108 He
became a naturalized United States citizen in 1911. 109 By 1918, he was living at 29 Beals
Street in Brookline, Mass., and had his own law practice located at 294 Washington
Street in Boston. 110 He was still living at that address in Brookline in 1920, when the
census indicates that he was one of two roomers living with the Abrahams family. 111 At
that time he was still practicing law. 112

U.S. Census 1920, Ibid. Note: The year of Cohen’s immigration is unclear on the 1920 census record,

Law School. Also, only one 1920 census record was found for an Emanuel Cohen living in Massachusetts,
so while it has not been confirmed that this record refers to the Emanuel Cohen who attended Suffolk Law
School, that is believed to be the case, since the man listed was a lawyer. Also, the draft registration card
and 1920 census have been confirmed as for the same person, since the home addresses are the same.

In 1928, the Suffolk Law Alumni Directory listed Emanuel Cohen’s address as
unknown. 113 In 1930, Cohen was living at 87 Fuller Street in Brookline with his two
single sisters, Jane (32) and Hilda (28), both of whom came to the United States from
England in 1922. 114 At that time, he was working as a film salesman. 115 The 1936
Suffolk Law Alumni Address lists his address (presumably his work address) as 1397
Beacon Street in Boston. 116
Ole Martin Dahl, Suffolk Law School 1910
Ole Martin Dahl was born between 1869 and 1875 in Norway, coming to the
United States in 1890. 117 In 1905, he answered an advertisement for a law class to be
taught by Gleason Archer. 118 By this time, he was working as a house painter and
decorator, and Gleason Archer visited him at his shop in response to his inquiry about the
law class. 119 Archer writes that Ole Dahl “had ruddy cheeks and a good natured face,
altogether prepossessing except that his English was very faulty,” and that Ole was
concerned that he was too old (at least 30 years old) to be taught about law. 120 Despite
these concerns, Ole Dahl attended Archer’s first law class in October of 1905, and
enrolled at Suffolk Law School at its inception in September of 1906. 121 He graduated in
1910 as one of ten in Suffolk Law School’s second graduating class. 122
By 1920, Ole Dahl was still working as a house painter and was lodging at a
house in East Boston, along with eight other lodgers and at least one family. 123 By 1917,
he had married a woman named Margie (b.1889 or 1890) who was born in Massachusetts

Note: As with the 1920 census, only one 1930 census record was found for an Emanuel Cohen living in
Massachusetts. Although there is a slight age discrepancy between this record and the 1920 record, the two
records are believed to be for the same person, given that they both list Cohen as being born in England and
coming to the United States in 1905 (the unclear date of arrival in the 1920 census is probably 1905).

Boston end at 999. Also, since the type of establishment located at 1397 Beacon Street is unknown, it is
possible that it was the location of the film sales business for which Cohen was working in 1930.

arrival in the United States as 1890.

take a law class indicates that the 1930 census, from which it can be deduced that Dahl would have been
about 35 in 1905, is probably correct, since if the 1920 census is correct, Dahl would have been about 30 in
1905, which is not an uncommon age at which to study law.

but whose parents were Norwegian. 124 Around 1918 his first son, Fulman, was born, and
around 1923, his second son, Earl, was born. 125 By 1930, at around 60 years old, he
owned a home in Boston where he lived with his wife, sons, and also his widowed fatherin-law, Ole Haff. 126 Ole Haff had come to the United States from Norway in 1887 and
was working for a contractor (despite being 73 years old). 127 By this time, Ole Dahl was
working as an attorney. 128 By at least 1923 and until at least 1936, his law office was
located at 73 Tremont Street in Boston. 129
Robert Timothy Healey, Suffolk Law School 1910
Robert Timothy Healey was born September 22, 1883 to Dennis (1850-1902) and
Mary Healey (1855-ca. 1919). i He was the fourth of five children in a family of three
boys and two girls. ii By 1900 the family lived at 27 Belmont Street, Somerville,
Massachusetts. Robert continued to live there until a few years after his mother’s death
around 1919. iii Dennis Healey listed his occupation as merchant in the 1900 census, but
his death record in 1902 lists him as a machinist. iv Mary A. Healey was born in Ireland
and immigrated to the U.S. in 1872 at the age of 27. v
In 1900, 15 year-old Robert T. Healey was employed as a clerk. vi Gleason Archer
indicates that he enrolled in “Archer’s Evening Law School” in the spring semester of the
1906-1907 school year. vii While he attended law school in the evenings he was employed
as a machinist at an iron foundry. viii He graduated from Suffolk Law School in 1910. ix By
1918 Healey had opened a law office, R. T. Healey, at 6 Beacon Street, Boston. x
After his mother’s death he became the head of the household in Somerville,
living with his single siblings Mary (40), Rachel (38) and Arthur (30). By 1922 Healey
married and by 1930 was widowed. He left the house in Somerville and bought a house
on Sumner Street in Newton, Massachusetts. In 1930 he lived there with his sister Mary
and his daughters Mary (7) and Alice (2). xi He maintained his law practice at 6 Beacon
Street through at least 1936. xii
Bernard Joseph Killion, Suffolk Law School 1910
Bernard Joseph Killion was born around 1885 in Massachusetts to Irish
parents. 130 He was fourth of at least eight children in a family of three girls and five
boys. 131 His three older siblings, Thomas, Mary and Margaret, were all born in Ireland
and had come to the United States in 1883. 132 It is probable that his parents had died by

1910, because at that point, he and his siblings all lived together, with his sister Margaret
as head of the household. 133
In 1907, Bernard Killion began attending Suffolk Law School, admitted “on trial”
by Gleason Archer because he was not well-educated or “of the intellectual type,” but
had “a fervent desire to study law.” 134 At that time, he was working for an insurance
company. 135
By April of 1910, 25-year-old Bernard Killion was still working at an insurance
company. 136 He was living at 10 Oswald Street in Boston, Mass., along with his seven
siblings, Margaret (26), who was head of the household, Thomas (30), Mary (28),
Katherine (23), John (21), James (19) and William (15). 137 All of his siblings were
employed at either a shoe factory or a grocery store, except Margaret and William, who
were unemployed. 138 Later in 1910, Killion, having proved himself in the classroom,
graduated from Suffolk Law School as one of ten in the school’s second graduating
class. 139 After graduating, he continued to work in the insurance field because he had
been promoted, but soon began operating a law office in the evenings. 140
On April 10, 1916, Bernard Killion became the first Suffolk graduate to argue a
case before the United States Supreme Court. 141 He, along with Charles Toye and Joseph
F. O’Connell (a former Massachusetts congressman who was one of the original
members of the Suffolk Law School Board of Trustees and later served as its vice
president), represented Henry C. Callaghan in his petition for a writ of certiorari to the
Superior Court of the State of Massachusetts. 142 This meant that Callaghan, after having
lost in a case in the Superior Court of Massachusetts, petitioned, with the aid of his
lawyers, for the case to be reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court. 143 The petition was
denied. 144
Around 1918, Bernard Killion married Dorothy Agate, who had come to the
United States from England in 1891. 145 In 1919, his son, Bernard Jr., was born. 146 By
1920, the family was living at 70 Francis Street in Boston, as were Dorothy’s parents,
Adelaide and Harry Agate, both of whom had come to the United States from England in

1910. 147 At this point, Killion was practicing law full-time. 148 From at least 1923 to
1928, his law office was located at 294 Washington Street, Room 505, in Boston. 149
By 1930, Bernard Killion had bought his own home at 41 Naples Road in
Brookline, Mass., and had four more children, Harry (9 in 1930), Richard (1) and Barbara
(an infant). 150 Dorothy Killion’s parents were still living with the family. 151 The Killion
family was evidently somewhat wealthy, as their home was valued at $20,000 (their
neighbors’ homes were valued at $14,000 and $15,000), and they had live-in servants,
three young women from Ireland named Julia, Kathleen and Barbara. 152 By 1936,
Killion’s law practice was located at 11 Beacon Street in Boston. 153
In 1944, Bernard Killion returned to Suffolk University Law School, this time as
a member of the Board of Trustees, on which he served as Vice Chairman from 1950 to
1953. 154 Also in 1950, he was appointed a life member of the Board of Trustees. 155
During his tenure on the Board of Trustees, and perhaps beginning sooner, he was
a member of the law firm of Killion, Connolly and Williams.156 After the 1961-1962
academic year, Killion is no longer listed in the SULS Catalogue as a member of the
Board of Trustees, so it is probable that he died in 1961 or 1962. 157
Charles Francis Murphy, Suffolk Law School 1910
Very little is known about Charles Francis Murphy. He enrolled at Suffolk Law
School probably in 1907 and graduated in 1910 as one of ten in the school’s second
graduating class. 158 Because Charles Francis Murphy was such a common name in the
Boston area during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and there are no Suffolk Law
School records on him, it is difficult to positively identify a Charles Francis Murphy from
a census record or draft registration card as the one who graduated from Suffolk in 1910.
One draft registration card was found for a Charles Francis Murphy who was born
January 23, 1877, lived in Boston, and was an attorney. 159 No accompanying census

Law Alumni Directories, but neither directory lists an address for him. 160
Harry H. Nayor, Suffolk Law School 1910
Harry H. Nayor enrolled at Suffolk Law School presumably in 1907 and
graduated in 1910 as one of ten in the school’s second graduating class. 161 By 1918, he
had a law practice at 53 State Street, Room 426, Boston, Mass., where it was located until
at least 1936. 162 By 1924, he was also a registered Justice of the Peace and was living in
Brookline, Mass. 163 By 1944, he was still living in Brookline, and his address was listed
in the Brookline Directory as 25 Thatcher Street. 164
Edwin LeRoy Weiscopf, Suffolk Law School 1910
Edwin LeRoy Weiscopf was born in 1884 in Massachusetts to Augustus and
Fannie Weiscopf. 165 He attended Suffolk Law School, graduating in 1910 as one of ten
in the school’s second graduating class. 166 In 1910, 26-year-old Edwin lived at 4 Enfield
Street in Boston, Mass., with his father (48), mother (48), younger brother (14), younger
sister (12) and single aunt (55). 167 The family also employed a maid named Lizzie
(45). 168 At this time, Edwin was working as a salesman in his father’s china shop. 169
By 1920, Edwin Weiscopf had married a woman named Minnie, whose parents
were German, and had two young daughters, Louise (4 ½ in 1920) and Jeanne (2 ½ in
1920). 170 The family was living at 3 Dwight Street Extension, Brookline, Mass. 171 In
1920, Edwin was still working as a salesman, although the industry he was employed in
is unclear. 172 By at least 1924, he was selling hotel and restaurant supplies from a
business, presumably his own, located at 5 Knapp Street in Boston. 173 Also by 1924, he

Thaddeus Alexander Kitchener, Suffolk Law School 1913
Thaddeus Alexander Kitchener, class of 1913, is believed to be the first black
graduate of Suffolk Law School. 177 He was born March 3, 1884 in Kingston, Jamaica to
Robert Kitchener and Evelina Brown. 178 He graduated from Wolmers High School in
Jamaica. 179 He was a resident of 93 Kendall Street, Roxbury, Massachusetts by March
12, 1908, when he married Mary E. Smith of Annapolis, Maryland. 180 In 1909 he applied
for admission to Suffolk Law School and was accepted by Gleason L. Archer on August
8. 181 At the time of his admittance to Suffolk, Mr. Kitchener was employed as a janitor at
Simmons College, 300 The Fenway, Boston. 182
Mr. Kitchener graduated from Suffolk Law School in 1913. 183 His World War I
Draft Registration card indicates that he continued to be employed as a janitor at
Simmons College as late as 1918 and lived at 38 Seattle Street in Boston. 184

was born in Virginia. 186 He had two step-siblings. 187 He attended grammar and high
school in Baltimore, but left school without graduating at the age of 14 to go to work. 188
He attended evening high school for six years at some point prior to 1910. 189
By 1900, 22-year-old Louis Pasco was living at 7 Walnut Street in Brookline,
Mass., with his mother, stepfather, James Matthews (b. 1858), grandmother, Eliza Diggs
(his mother’s mother, b. 1835), step-sister, Consuela (b. 1886), and step-brother, James
(b. 1897). 190 At this time, he was working at a bank. 191 In 1901, he married a woman
from South Carolina named Bertha. 192 In 1910, he lived at 2 Vila Street in Boston,
Mass., with his wife and four children, Elizabeth (7), Bertha (6), Alice (4) and Louis (an
infant). 193 He was still working at a bank, specifically the National Shawmut Bank on
Water Street in Boston, as a statement clerk. 194
In September of 1910, Louis Pasco applied and was accepted to Suffolk Law
School. 195 Pasco, whose mother was black and father was Mexican, graduated from
Suffolk Law School in 1914 as one of the first graduates of both African and Hispanic
descent. 196 After graduating from law school, Pasco continued to work as a clerk at the
National Shawmut Bank until at least 1918. 197
In 1920, 42-year-old Louis Pasco and his family were still living on Vila Street in
Boston. 198 By this time he had a fifth child, a son named Wendell who was born
probably in 1917. 199 At this time Pasco was still employed as a bank clerk, probably at
the National Shawmut Bank, although the 1920 census does not list a specific bank. 200
No evidence has been found that he practiced law.

Harry Ernest Burroughs was born on April 15, 1890, in Volenia, Russia. 201 He
came to the United States in 1903 and began working as a newsboy in Boston. 202 In
1911, around age 21, he enrolled at Suffolk Law School, graduating four years later in
1915. 203 He became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1913. 204 By 1917, he was living at 722
Commonwealth Avenue and had his own law practice. 205 He served in World War I,
then returned to his law practice. 206 By at least 1923, his office was located at 18
Tremont Street, where it remained until at least 1936. 207 In the 1924 Boston business
directory, he is listed as a Justice of the Peace. 208
In 1927, Harry Burroughs established the Burroughs Newsboys Foundation to
give newsboys between the ages of 12 and 17 the opportunity to learn, socialize and
develop leadership and other skills. 209 The Foundation also provided college
scholarships. 210 A newsboy himself as an adolescent, Burroughs felt compelled to
provide “wholesome adult guidance” to young boys who often had to provide for
themselves their families by working in the adult world, thus missing out on some of their
childhood. 211
In 1935, Burroughs, by then a very successful lawyer, bought a summer camp in
Poland, Maine, called Camp Maqua and devoted it to his Newsboys Foundation. 212 The
camp opened in 1936 under the new name of “The Agassiz Village of the Burroughs
Newsboys Foundation” after Alexander Agassiz, the son of naturalist Louis Agassiz and
father of Maximilian Agassiz, who financed the camp. 213 The camp was open to
Burroughs Newsboys Foundation members, as well as “any other boy age 6-17 who was
part of a trade group.” 214 In only its fifth summer, in 1940, Agassiz Village housed one
thousand campers. 215 Though it has experienced some changes, the camp still operates

today as Agassiz Village, Founded by Mr. and Mrs. Harry E. Burroughs, and caters to
both boys and girls of diverse backgrounds. 216
In Boston, the Burroughs Newsboys Foundation was located at 10 Somerset
Street, which is now the site a Suffolk University dormitory. 217 This dormitory, which
opened in the fall of 2005, was dedicated as the Nathan R. Miller Residence Hall, named
after the founder of Nathan R. Miller Properties, Ltd. of Boston 218 In addition to being a
prominent Boston real estate developer and donating $2 million to Suffolk University,
Nathan Miller is also a former Burroughs Newsboy and was one of the first Agassiz
Village campers. 219 The Burroughs Newsboys Foundation is commemorated by an
exhibit in the lobby of the Miller Residence Hall. 220
In addition to running the Burroughs Newsboys Foundation and Agassiz Village,
Harry Burroughs was also an author. His book Boys in Men’s Shoes was published in
1944 and is both an account of his life and a social commentary on child workers. 221
Burroughs efforts to improve the chances of success for young working boys did not go
unrecognized by his alma mater; Suffolk University granted him an honorary degree of
Doctor of Human Letters sometime between 1937 and 1946. 222
In December of 1946, Harry Burroughs died at the age of 56. 223 At that time, he
was living in Brookline, Mass. 224 He was survived by his wife, Hannah, two sons, Harry
E. Jr. and Warren H., and a daughter, Jean. 225 Warren Burroughs is currently the
Honorary Chairman of the Board of Trustees at Aggasiz Village. 226 The Burroughs
Newsboys Foundation lasted only five more years after Burroughs death, closing in
1951. 227

children in a family of three boys and two girls. 229 By 1880 the family lived at 75 Bridge
Street in Paterson. 230 In 1880, Nichols Jones was employed as a coachman, while Harriet
Jones was a homemaker. 231
Prior to the age of 15, Thomas V. Jones attended grammar school in Paterson. 232
On June 3, 1896, he married a woman named Caroline (b. 1874 or 1985), who was also
from New Jersey, and the two then moved to Cambridge, Mass. 233 He got a job as a
superintendent of the Second Society of Universalists office building at 28 School Street,
Boston, Mass. 234 On March 29, 1897, his son, John Wesley Jones, was born, and on
November 3, 1905, his daughter, Lois Mailou Jones, was born. 235 By 1910, he was still
working at the Second Society of Universalists office building (where he also lived with
his family) as superintendent. 236 His wife worked from home as a milliner. 237
At some point, Thomas V. Jones attended the Y.M.C.A. preparatory school in
Boston, leaving the school at age 35. 238 In September of 1911, he enrolled in the evening
division at Suffolk School of Law. 239 He received his degree in 1915. 240 His daughter
indicates that he entered the real estate field after graduating, but she also indicates that
he was a superintendent for thirty years (until the late 1920s), so it is possible that he
worked in real estate, possibly real estate law, on the side. 241 His draft registration card
from 1918 lists his occupation as janitor for the Second Society of Universalists. 242
Admission, September 29, 1911, SLS Registrations 1908-1913, no application number. Note: Jones’ draft
registration card lists his date of birth as May 7, 1874, but a biography written by his daughter, Lois Mailou
Jones Pierre-Noel, for a Thomas Vreeland Jones Scholarship fund pamphlet lists it as April 7, 1874.

Thomas J. Lane attended Packard Grammar School in Lawrence and graduated
from Lawrence High School in 1916. 262 By 1918, he was employed as a retail clerk on

married a woman named Jane (maiden name Murphy). 268 He served in the state House of
Representatives until 1937, and then served in the state Senate from 1939 to 1941. 269 He
was elected to the United States Congress in 1941 in a special election after the death

mentions in Astronomy and Geology. He studied law at Suffolk Law School, received his
degree in 1927, and passed the bar on his first try.
All through his high school and college days he was involved in the theater, either
as an actor, producer, or manager. He worked as a councilor and drama coach in the
summer at Granite Lake Boys camp in NH. He went on to manage a theater in the Boston
area.
He was a member of temporary reserves in the Coast Guard, and played trombone
in the Army band entertaining troops during World War I.
He practiced law during the Great Depression, but not many people could afford a
lawyer. He sold telephone advertising for a while to make ends meet. In the 1930s, he
had two five and dime stores, one in Orient Heights, and one in Teele Square called the
Paty Needle Company. He ran a side wholesale business importing sewing needles from
Germany (which was started by his father, Bernard A. Paty) until events of World War II
ended trade with Germany and the business collapsed. Starting in the early 1940s, he
worked 27 years for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Later, he was a realestate developer in Maine.
Joe enjoyed painting and developed a special style that involved painting with oils
on wood panels. His favorite subjects were ships and scenes he imagined from American
colonial days.
In 1926, Joe married Mary Beatrice White, (teacher, 1917 graduate of Lesley
Normal School, now Lesley University), and during the great economic Depression and
after, ably and lovingly supported his wife and five children.
From information in the family archives and from memories of his son, J. David Paté, Jr.
Harry Hom Dow Suffolk Law School 1929
Harry Hom Dow was born on March 13, 1904, in Hudson, Mass., to Hom Soon
and Alice Dow, both Chinese immigrants. 276 He was the oldest of six children in a
family of three sons and three daughters. 277 After Harry was born, he and has parents
relocated from Hudson to Boston, where Hom Soon Dow opened a laundry business, the
H.S. Dow Laundry Company, that became quite successful. 278 Harry attended the
Dwight Grammar School, presumably in Boston, for eight years. 279
In 1916, Hom Soon Dow passed away, leaving management of the laundry, which
had begun to suffer in the face of rising competition, to his wife. 280 Although Harry was
still in school at the time, he helped his mother, who had no business experience, take
over the laundry, move it to a new location (70 West Dedham Street in Boston) and make

it thrive. 281 He worked at the laundry for several years, then began working in the
insurance business, all while still in school.282 He took one course (mechanical drawing)
during the summer of 1918 at Lincoln Preparatory School, formerly Northeastern
Preparatory School, on Huntington Avenue in Boston, then attended Boston English High
School from September of 1918 to March of 1921. 283
By 1920, 15-year-old Harry Dow, his mother, and his siblings, Nellie (14),
Howard (12), Nettie (8), Hamilton (6) and Nora (4), were living at 371 Shawmut Avenue
in Boston. 284 A 1929 newspaper article about the H.S. Dow Laundry Company states
that Harry continued to work in the insurance business after leaving high school, but by
1925, he had returned to his family’s laundry. 285
In 1925, Harry Dow enrolled at Suffolk Law School. 286 On his admission
application, he listed as one of his references Joseph F. O’Connell, a Boston lawyer and
former United States congressman who served as on the Suffolk Law School Board of
Trustees from its inception and as its Vice President from 1919 to 1936. 287 By this time,
Harry had moved to another house on Shawmut Avenue, number 385, with his mother
and three of his siblings. 288 He began working for the United States Immigration and
Naturalization Services in 1928. 289 He graduated from Suffolk Law School in 1929 and
that same year became the first Chinese American to be admitted to the bar in
Massachusetts. 290 By 1930, he was still living at 385 Shawmut Avenue. 291 The 1930
census states that he was a lawyer at that time, probably for the U.S. Immigration and
Naturalization Services. 292 Also, the 1936 Suffolk Law Alumni Directory lists his
address as 124 West 72nd Street, New York City, but it is unclear whether this was a
home or business address. 293 Nonetheless, by 1948, Harry Dow had a private law
practice, dealing specifically with immigration law, with offices in Boston and New York
City. 294

An account of the resource
In 2006, the Moakley Archive completed a research project to find out more about Suffolk University Law School’s earliest graduates. This guide includes information about the classes and biographical information about a selection of graduates discovered using sources such as Suffolk University records, U.S. Census records, and other sources such as local newspapers. The classes covered were limited to 1909-1915 because there weren’t adequate records for the earliest classes of 1906-1908. This document also includes individual bios for individuals from later classes.

Rosenberg Institute 2018-2019 (FY19) Annual Report
Introduction.
Summer 2019 marks completion of the tenth year of full operations for the
Rosenberg Institute, and also ten years since I joined Suffolk University to be
Director of the Institute. It is an appropriate time to reflect on our work in the ten
years that have passed.
During this past decade, the Institute has cooperated widely with departments
and with all the schools at Suffolk. From the College of Arts and Sciences we
have had joint activities with the Center for Community Engagement (CCE),
Center for Teaching and Scholarly Excellence (CTSE), Center for Urban Ecology
and Sustainability (CUES), departments of Communication and Journalism,
Economics, English, Engineering, Environmental Studies, the Ford Hall Forum,
Government, History, Philosophy, World Languages and Cultures. From the
Sawyer Business School we have had joint activities with Accounting, Finance,
Global MBA, Marketing, Strategy and International Business. From the Law
School we have co-sponsored programs with the Harry H. Dow Memorial
Scholarship and the Asian Pacific American Law Students Association
(APALSA). Faculty associated with all of these programs have brought their
students to Institute activities. We have also cooperated with our many Asiarelated student organizations on campus, which includes the Asian-American
Association, China Students and Scholars Association, Japan Student Association,
Korean Culture Club, South Asia Association, Taiwanese Students Association,
Vietnamese Students Association. In fact, I have acted as faculty advisor for
several of these student clubs.
The Rosenberg Institute has organized many lectures for our campus community
over this time. Speakers from local institutions have come from Boston College,
Boston University, Harvard, MIT, Northeastern, Yale, Smith College, as well as
our own Suffolk faculty. International speakers who have presented on campus
were from Canada, China, Denmark, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia,
Japan, Korea, Singapore, Vietnam. The Consuls-General of the relevant
diplomatic offices in Boston have all spoken on campus under the auspices of the
Rosenberg Institute: Japan, Korea, Taiwan.
Community organizations with which the Rosenberg Institute has cooperated
during the past decade have included the Asian American Commission (organized
by the governor’s office), Asian Task Force Against Domestic Violence (ATASK),

Exchange Program, Children’s Museum of Boston, Chinese Historical Society of
New England (CHSNE), National Committee on United States China Relations
(NCUSCR), Primary Source (for public school teachers interested in Asia),
WorldBoston (member of the World Affairs Councils).
Suffolk University has a strong leadership team in place. Chairman of the
Board of Trustees Bob Lamb and President Marisa Kelly fully understand the work
of the Rosenberg Institute. President Kelly has submitted a Strategic Plan for
Suffolk so the Rosenberg Institute will be aligning our programming to
complement the goals of that Plan. We report to Maria Toyoda, Dean of the School
of Arts and Sciences and also have the benefit of our Advisory Council which
includes members from many academic departments. The Council consists of
Micky Lee, Communication and Journalism, Chair of the Council; Audrey
Goldstein, Chair of the New England School of Art and Design (NESAD); Pat
Hogan, Chair of the Center for Urban Ecology and Sustainability; Kathy Sparaco,
Executive Director of the INTO Program (preparing international students for
study at Suffolk); Jane Zhu, Marketing, Sawyer Business School.
The Rosenberg Institute sent eleven students for study abroad in Asia at one of
Suffolk’s partner schools during the FY19 academic year on the Rosenberg Asian
Studies Scholarships. In addition, the Institute funded partial travel costs for
three Suffolk faculty who were presenting papers at the 2nd International
Workshop on Urban Ecological Security and Sustainability (UESS) held at Fudan
University in Shanghai 24 to 27 June 2019 as described later in this Annual Report.
My work with the Institute has been possible because of our benefactors, Barbara
and Richard M. Rosenberg. I am extremely grateful for our benefator’s continued
support and wise council throughout these past ten years.

�Activities of the Rosenberg Institute 2018-2019
Rosenberg Institute assisted in showing “Maineland,” a new documentary
film about Chinese Students Studying in the US. The film depicts Chinese
students who spent their sophomore-senior years at the Fryeburg Academy in
Maine. They were embedded in an American learning environment while at the
same time going through the growing process of their teenage years. The
documentary showing was put on by Primary Source, a non-profit based in
Watertown, MA. It was shown at the popular Kendall Square Cinema in
Cambridge on 24 July 2918 and was attended by many secondary school educators
from the Boston area. Director Miao Wang was there to answer questions about the
film and the process of making it. The content of the film addresses questions
about where China is headed in the next generation. The film is visually attractive
and has an evocative sound track. The Rosenberg Institute received compliments
from many in the audience for our work in promoting an interest in Asia.
The Empress of China Exhibition was held at the Peabody Essex Museum in
Salem from August 2018 to February 2019. Daisy Wang, Curator of Chinese and
East Asian Art asked the Rosenberg Institute to help spread the word about the
Exhibition. Dr. Suleski was invited and attended the Opening Reception at the
Museum in September 2018 as were several of our list-serve colleagues, including
faculty from Harvard.

Suffolk Professor Elizabeth Robinson took six Suffolk students to Vietnam as
part of Alternative Spring Break in the Spring 2018 semester.
The students were in the TESOL (Teachers of English to Students of Other
Languages) program and all were working to earn the TESOL Certificate. The
Vietnamese students were eager to learn from native English speakers, so the
experience was a win-win situation. The Rosenberg Institute helped to subsidize
the cost of this project.

�The Last Boat Out of Shanghai. This is the Epic Story of the Chinese Who
Fled Mao’s Revolution, a book by Helen Zia. She spoke at the Pao Arts Center
located in Boston’s Chinatown district. The book reading was organized by the
Chinese Historical Society of New England (CHSNE) and the Pao Arts Center on

Chinese Nationality Laws & Asian-American Identity. Dr. Norman Ho visited
Suffolk at the invitation of the Rosenberg Institute to speak before a large audience
of Suffolk faculty, students, and administrators on 4 February 2019
Dr. Ho is Associate Professor of Law at Peking University School of Transnational
Law. He is a graduate of Harvard and the NYU School of Law. His topic was
Chinese Nationality Laws & Asian-American Identity. Why is this topic
important? Recently the Chinese government arrested a Chinese-American visiting
China, who had been born in the United States. Because he had Chinese blood,
they assumed they could treat him as if he were a Chinese citizen. How do AsianAmericans feel about this? Do Asian-Americans feel at home in the United States,
16
�the country where they were born and raised? These and other questions were
discussed at the talk.
The lecture was sponsored by the Asian Pacific American Law Students
Association (APALSA), the Ford Hall Forum at Suffolk funded by the Lowell
Society, and by the Rosenberg Institute for East Asian Studies at Suffolk.
Two Films from Thailand. The Rosenberg Institute was asked to assist in
drawing an audience to these two films by the program organizers, the Film Study
Center, the Visual and Environmental Studies Department, and the Thai Studies
Program at the Asia Center at Harvard University present. The program was titled
An Evening with noted director Anocha Suwichakornpong.
The two films shown were By the Time It Gets Dark (Dao khanong, Thailand
2016) and Nightfall (Singapore 2016). Held on 7 February 2019, many in the
audience were interested in recent Thai politics as portrayed in the films, along
with the movie buffs interested in the director’s career. The director Anocha
Suwichakornpong, a visiting scholar of the Visual and Environmental Studies
program at Harvard, carried on a dialogue with the audience.
17
�Daily Life for the Common People of China, 1850 to 1950 is the title of my new
book, published by Brill Publishers. The publisher has been issuing academic
studies about Asia and the Orient since the 1683, first in Leiden. Holland and now
with a US Office in Boston. The book came out in November 2018. I was invited
to give a talk on the book by the Asian Studies Program at Suffolk, and the History
Department. We had the talk on 13 February 2018 and filled up the Poetry Center
with Suffolk faculty and students, plus some researchers from other academic
institutions in the Boston area.
My book uses a new category of source materials. These are hand-written booklets
prepared by the common people of China from 1850 to 1950. They were used to
tell fortunes, to chase away troublesome ghosts, to use herbs to make medicine, to
decide how to pick a mate for their children, and for all the everyday questions
people had. Many were written by people with a poor education because many
people were minimally literate at that time. Most of these booklets had been
18
�thrown away by the families that kept them. I have located these at antique and
junk stores in China.
Suffolk Faculty, Administrators, and Students Visited Cambodia and
Myanmar in January 2019. This was part of the Alternative Winter Break
program. The twenty students worked to help farmers build basic housing, to
repair elementary school properties, and to give classes in basic English
conversation.
The delegation was organized by Roberto Dominguez, professor in the
Government Department. It was headed by Assistant Dean of Students Shawn
Newton. The two chaperons were the directors of the Center for Community
Engagement, one of the sponsors of the Alternative Winter Break Program, Adam
Westbrook and Dennis Harkins.
19
�After returning to Suffolk, the students and faculty had a Reunion and Rosenberg
Appreciation Open House on 13 February 2019 to show slides from the visit and
for the students to talk about their experiences. The Rosenberg Institute was
pleased to once again help subsidize this trip and keep the costs down for each
participant. The Government Department was behind this activity, as was the
Center for Community Engagement.
China’s Belt and Road in Europe. Several speakers were organized by the
Pardee School for Global Studies at Boston University to speak about how China is
extending its trade and economic power into Europe. The event was held on 21
February 2919. Among the speakers was Grant Rhode (Naval War College) who
has been active with the Rosenberg Institute. The symposium was co-sponsored by
the BU Center for the Study of Asia which asked the Rosenberg Institute to help
promote the seminar.
20
�Asian Perspectives on Health and Work is a course offered at Suffolk in Fall
2019. Our colleague Dr. Sukanya Ray of the Psychology Department turned to the
Rosenberg Institute to help advertise this course in Asia-related classes. We

conference was organized by the China Maritime Studies Institute at the US Naval
War College and was held in May 2019. The Rosenberg Institute had responses
and interest from six of our colleagues, some of whom were invited to join this
conference. The organizers at the Naval War College were appreciative of our
ability to draw in audience members to their event.
Suffolk’s Asian American Association and Vietnamese Student Association
teamed up to have a party for all students to welcome spring. Together with
all the attending students they made spring rolls. Ingredients were supplied by
SODEXO the Suffolk food service, and the program was co-sponsored by the
Office of Off-Campus Housing Commuter Ambassadors. The turnout of students

Chinatown Boston Began an Archeological Dig. The site has been occupied
since the 1840s. In 1929 it became a fancy Chinese restaurant called Ruby Foo’s
Den. The dig will have some trained archaeologists and will also rely on
volunteers to do the sifting of gathered earth looking for hidden treasures. At the
opening of the dig in early July 2019 there were some people with long Suffolk
association, including Justina Chu who is a fan of the Rosenberg Institute and who
recently retired after decades of work at the Suffolk Law School. She’s in a photo
23

project, headed by our Community Outreach Partner the Chinese Historical Society
of New England (CHSNE), and also including the City of Boston Archaeology
Department, Friends of Archaeology, Chinese American Citizen’s Alliance –
Boston Lodge, Chinese American Heritage Foundation.

�The 2nd International Workshop on Urban Ecological Security and
Sustainability (UESS 2019) was held at Fudan University in Shanghai, China
from 24 to 27 June 2019. The Rosenberg Institute has been one of the major
supporters of this international collaboration. The partnership between the
Center for Urban Ecology and Sustainability (CUES) at Suffolk University and
Fudan University was established to (1) foster research collaborations between
Chinese and American researchers, (2) to create courses that could be taught
between the two campuses for students from both institutions, and to (3) promote
exchanges of both faculty and students across campuses. Examples of possible
collaboration areas that were presented at UESS 2019 include coastal systems and
invasive species, remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), modeling
techniques and environmental policy.
A delegation of faculty from Suffolk, supported in part by the Rosenberg
Institute, attended UESS 2019 to give short, twenty-minute presentations on their
efforts since UESS 2018 (held at Suffolk University). Among faculty members
attending from Suffolk were CUES faculty —Dr. Hayley Schiebel and Mr. Scott
Lussier—who chaired the graduate paper competition and provided a keynote
presentation, respectively. Carlos Rufin, Chair of the Strategy and International
Business Department of the Sawyer Business School, presented as did Sean Solley,
Director of the Interior Architecture and Design Program in the College of Art and
Sciences. Dean Maria Toyoda of the School of Arts and Sciences was also on hand
to give a closing speech to the body of international attendees. In addition to
Suffolk University faculty, American researchers from Northeastern University
and the University of Massachusetts Boston, who had attended UESS 2018 in
Boston, also attended UESS 2019.
Xiangrong Wang, PhD, Director of the Centre for Urban Eco-planning and Design
and co-founder of the partnership between Fudan University and CUES, attended
UESS 2018 as well. Other Fudan University attendees included Xiaojiang Gao,
Dean of Environmental Science and Engineering at Fudan and Yin Ren from the
Institute of Urban Environment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In addition to
attendees from Fudan University, specialists from East China Normal University,
Nanjing Forestry University, and other schools in China gave the same type of oral
25
�presentation as the American delegates in efforts to forge research collaborations
moving forward.
Many faculty and students from Fudan University crowded into the lecture
sessions showing their interest and enthusiasm for the partnership. The Suffolk
delegation was impressed with the modern facilities available at Fudan University
and by the friendship displayed by their Chinese hosts at every turn. Tours of the
two Fudan University campuses, shared lunches and dinners, and a field trip to a
sponge city outside of Shanghai were a few of the activities included in the agenda
that encouraged not only collaboration opportunities, but also friendships. The
third in this series of international workshops –UESS 2020—will be held at
Suffolk University in June 2020.

Rosenberg Institute for East Asian Studies
Suffolk University, Boston
Annual Report for 2017-2018 Academic Year
Ronald Suleski, PhD, Director
Overview
The 2017-2018 academic year was a year in which the Rosenberg Institute
awarded its largest number to date of student scholarships for Suffolk
students traveling to Asia for study abroad. We also made a grant to launch
the joint Suffolk-Fudan Workshop on Urban Ecological Security and
Sustainability. These and all of our major activities are reported more fully below.
In the spring of 2018 Dr. Marisa Kelly was appointed President of Suffolk
University Boston. Her appointment continued the sense of stability and orderly
process for Suffolk which began when she was named acting president in August
2016.
In September 2017 Dean Maria Toyoda appointed an Advisory Council for
the Rosenberg Institute. Members are all professors in various departments. The
Director is Micky Lee (Communication and Journalism) who is also Director of
our Program in Asian Studies, Audrey Goldstein (Chair of NESAD), Patricia
Hogan (Center for Urban Ecology), Kathy Sparaco (Director of INTO Program),
Jane Zhu (Marketing). The Council met repeatedly in the course of the academic
year to consider budgetary and program issues.
This past academic year the Institute awarded Rosenberg Asian Studies
Scholarships to 7 students who attended programs in Asia for study abroad at our
1
�partner institutions. These institutions are in China, Japan, Korea, Singapore,
Taiwan, and India.
For the Alternative Winter Break Program in January 2018, the Institute awarded
partial scholarships to 10 Suffolk students who traveled to Cambodia. The
program is also funded by the Center for Community Engagement at Suffolk; the
professor accompying the students was Roberto Dominguez (Government).
An Alternative Spring Program saw 6 students travel to Vietnam with their
professor Elizabeth Robinson (Sociology). They were studying teaching English as
a Second Language (TESOL) and actually taught some classes while in Vietnam.
At the request of the China Travel Seminar Program run by the Sawyer Business
School, the Institute was able to provide partial scholarships to 6 students who
went on the program to China.
The Institute made a grant to help fund the 2018 Workshop on Urban Ecological
Security and Sustainability, held in June 2018. The project was spearheaded by
Professor Patricia Hogan, a member of our Council, who made the proposal to us
in the fall of 2017. The Workshop is co-organized with Fudan University, one of
China’s top-rated research schools. The Fudan organizer was Professor Wang
Xiangrong, Director of their Center for Urban Eco-Planning and Design. It is
envisioned that this Workshop will held yearly, alternating between the two
campuses.
In the fall of 2017 the Institute once again co-sponsored the China Town Hall
forum. The nation-wide meeting conducted partially via a web broadcast, was
organized by the National Committee on US-China Relations, and is co-sponsored
in Boston by Suffolk and with WorldBoston, a member of the World Affairs
Council.
The Institute continued to sponsor academic lectures held on campus that were
open to the university community and the wider public. We also continued our
outreach activities with the Chinese Historical Society of New England (CHSNE)
and with the Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Community Center (BCNC).

�Activities
In Summer 2017 Suffolk once again hosted a group of Chinese students from
Beijing on our campus. They were part of the Suffolk English Language
Program (SELP), which is well-organized to offer English language instruction
for speakers of other languages. They were accompanied by two professors.
Below is a photo taken at the conclusion of the graduation ceremonies.
In August 2017 Suffolk hosted a group of sixty-four new Fulbright scholars.
These scholars were graduate students coming from universities all over the world.
They had just entered the United States, and before proceeding to their graduate
3
�programs they were invited to Suffolk for several days for an introduction to
American academic life. It is called the Fulbright Gateway Program.
Suffolk University Chaplain Rev. Amy Fisher gave a talk An Introduction to
World Religions: What is Religion? On 14 September 2017. The talk was part of
History 100, Introduction to Asian Studies. It was sponsored by the Rosenberg

The Government Department at Suffolk presented a talk: Military First! What
Makes North Korean Tick? Speakers were Professor Gregory Fried, Chair of
Philisophy; Professor Friedrich Lohr, former German Ambassador to North
Korea; Professor Weiqi Zhang who was teaching a class on Introduction to
Comparative Politics; and Professor Ronald Suleski, Director of the Rosenberg
Institute. Members of the general public joined many Suffolk students for the
presentation. This was held on 3 October 2017, sponsored by the government
Department and the Rosenberg Institute.
Suffolk University celebrated DIWALI the Indian festival of light.
Families in India set up candles in front of their homes once night falls. They
enjoy a meal together. They make symbolic patterns using sand and colored stones,
called Rangoli. Suffolk celebrated this on the evening of 19 October 2017. An
image of a hand-made Rangoli is below.

�Again in 2017 Suffolk hosted the China Town Hall. It featured a special guest via
live webcast, Hon. Susan E. Rice, former National Security Advisor and U.S.
Ambassador to the UN. Visiting the Suffolk campus was Professor Joseph
Fewsmith from Boston University, a respected scholar on elite politics in China.
The meeting was Free and Open to the Public. Refreshments were Served. The
meeting was organized by the National Committee on United States-China
Relations (NYC), and co-sponsored by the Rosenberg Institute and WorldBoston.
Held on 24 October 2017.
Suffolk University had an opportunity to meet local movie director Ken Eng, on
Monday 6 November 2017. He spoke in Professor Micky Lee’s class. Later his
recent film “Kokoyakyu High School Baseball,” was shown on 9 November
2017. This was part of the Suffolk Cinema Series, co-sponsored by the Rosenberg
Institute for East Asian Studies, the Japanese Studies Association, and the Asian
Studies Program at Suffolk.
5
�“DACA: A Story of Dreams and Fears,” was a talk presented by Stephen H.
Legomsky. It is the story of the “Dreamers” who were brought to the United States
illegally as children. It was the 4th Harry Dow Lecture Series on Immigration
Law, held on 15 November 2017. The event was co-sponsored by the Rosenberg
Institute, The Office of Advancement, the Moakley Archive and Institute, and the
Harry H. Dow Memorial Legal Assistance Fund.
On 16 November 2017 the Rosenberg Institute arranged for a delegation of
scholars from China, funded by the Chinese government, to visit the Suffolk
campus. They were all specialists on Contemporary China, and briefly presented
their major research findings. The seminar was titled China in the New Era.

Jane Hirshfield visited Suffolk on 7 February 2018. Her poetry talks about desire and loss,
beauty and impermanence. Her poetry draws on ideas taken from Buddhism, and the “succinct
wisdom” of Haiku. Her books of poems keep winning national prizes. Her visit was sponsored by
the Poetry Project/Day One Fund, the Rosenberg Institute for East Asian Studies, the English
Department, and the CAS Dean’s Office.
Professor Monica Fan was a Visiting Scholar at Suffolk 2017-18. She teaches at Shanghai Jiao
Tong University. She talked to us on 6 March 2018 about why scholars need to emphasize personal
history and individual experience when they write biographical studies. Here in Boston she has
been consulting several archives about many Chinese Americans whose papers are held in local
collections. The program was sponsored by the English Department and the Asian Studies Program.

�Arn Chorn Pond was about to be killed. It was in Cambodia in the late 1970s and
the Khmer Rouge killed wantonly. His teacher and friends were killed, but as a
child of 10 he managed to survive. He told us about his experiences and about
how music and the arts kept him sane. The title of his talk was Healing from
Genocide: Creating Peace Through the Arts in Cambodia. Held on 8 March
2018. This program was part of the Alternative Winter Break Program. It was
sponsored by the Center for Community Development, the Government
Department, the Philosophy Department, and the Rosenberg Institute for East
Asian Studies at Suffolk.
Documentary Film GOOK Shown at Suffolk. The Los Angeles Riots took place
in 1992. Many black people clashed with the Koreans living within their
community. The Koreans often ran small shops which in some cases became
targets of looters, and in other cases strengthened the friendships between the
beleaguered Koreans and their black neighbors. The Koreans were derisively
referred to by the term “gook.” This is the title of the film recounting those days
and the complex interactions behind the riots. The film GOOK was shown 27
March 2018 at Suffolk. This event was sponsored by the Communication and
Journalism Department, the Sociology Department, the Public Policy and Practice
Hub, the Asian Studies Program, and the Rosenberg Institute for East Asian
Studies, all at Suffolk University Boston.
A number of our Suffolk students are studying the European Union, and they want
to explore How the EU deals with China. Suffolk invited an expert Team Leader
of the EU’s Asia Pacific and Research Network to speak to us. Dr. May-Britt
Stumbaum, who also is affiliated with the free University of Berlin, spoke about
Germany and the EU’s China Policy: Analysis, Assessment and Areas for
Competition and Cooperation with the US. Her talk was on 17 April 2018. The
program was sponsored by the Warburg Chapter of the American Council on
Germany and Suffolk. It was hosted by Professor Frederich Lohr of the
Government Department. The Rosernberg Institute was involved in advertising the
program.

�The Art of Resistance, a talk about Chinese writers who opposed the oppression
of Mao Zedong. Before 1976 during the difficult days of rule by Mao Zedong in
China, artists were especially watched. Their ability to express themselves by
drawing images or painting a picture were powerful ways to convey ideas. The
Communist Party only wanted its own approved ideas circulated, so they feared
and persecuted artists who had their talent as powerful tools. Artists also often had
a free spirit inside themselves, struggling to fly with their own ideas. Dr. Shelley
Drake Hawk recently published an illustrated book about artists in Communist
China during the Cultural Revolution who reisted the extreme Communist
ideology, titled The Art of Resistance. She spoke to us on 18 April 2018. The
talk was sponsored by the Rosenberg Institute for East Asian Studies.
North Korea was much in the news in April and May 2018. Dr. Micky Lee of
Communication and Journalism gave a talk on Pop Culture in East Asia: The
Korean Wave in North Korea, based on her recently published research. The talk
was on 25 April 2018. It was sponsored by the Rosenberg Institute for East Asian
Studies at Suffolk University Boston.

�Alternative Spring Break in Vietnam. Six students went with their professor
Elizabeth Robinson in order to teach in Vietnamese schools. The students were in
the TESOL (Teachers of English to Students of Other Languages) program and
all were working to earn the TESOL Certificate. The Vietnamese students were
eager to learn from native English speakers, so the experience was a win-win
situation. The Rosenberg Institute helped to subsidize the cost of this experience
for our students. A review of the experience and student presentations was held on
the Suffolk campus following the trip
Student Teachers Learn Priceless Lessons in
Vietnam

Two weeks before Spring Break, eight Suffolk students learned they’d be
traveling halfway around the world from snow-covered Boston to humid
Hanoi for a whirlwind week of student teaching. They set out with their
newly-obtained VISAs, a few helpful Vietnamese conversational phrases,
and teaching theories they’d learned but never practiced. They returned
with a wealth of experience and, for some, a passion for teaching abroad.
Full cultural immersion
The students are enrolled in the teaching English to speakers of other
languages (TESOL) certificate program, which offers international teaching
preparation and opportunities to work with international students studying in
12
�the United States. The Hanoi trip fulfilled the program’s practicum
requirement, as students worked with a wide variety of English language
learners throughout the week.
Funds from the Rosenberg Institute for East Asian Studies helped defray
the students’ travel costs, making the life-changing trip possible on short
notice. Travel scholarships from the Rosenberg Institute have allowed
Suffolk students to study in Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan,
Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam.

Benjamin Mimoso’s family experience spurred an enduring interest in how
non-native speakers learn English. His father grew up in a Portuguesespeaking community in New Bedford, Massachusetts, and learned English
at school. Mimoso, Class of 2019, a history major, wants to teach English
as a second language overseas before pursuing a career as a history
teacher. The trip to Vietnam was his first time leaving the United States.
“I thought I’d be uncomfortable and in culture shock,” he says. “Instead, I
fell in love with everything quickly. We weren’t in tourist areas. We were
riding motorbikes through the city, and little kids would shout ‘hello’ from
the backs of their bikes.”
Gaining classroom experience
For Georgia Bourikas, Class of 2018, the trip was a chance to have a fully
immersive cultural experience before graduation. Bourikas is a fine arts
13
�major and all-star basketball player for the Suffolk Rams whose year-round
practice and game schedule precluded a traditional study abroad semester.
Although she has worked as a teaching assistant in the Art & Design
Department’s printmaking shop, Bourikas had never before been in charge
of a classroom. That changed as she and her classmates planned for and
taught English lessons to Vietnamese students ranging in age from 18
months to 45 years-old.
“Working with little kids is very difficult, but they were remarkable. Three
year-olds could have little conversations with us in English already, telling
time, counting, sharing emotions,” says Mimoso.

Bourikas and Mimoso teamed up to present a conversational English class
on clothing and shopping to a group of first-year students at Hanoi
University. The experience gave them practice with crafting and presenting
a lesson and also led to valuable cultural exchange with their peers.
“They wanted to know about American culture -- like are we obsessed with
superheroes? -- and we talked about the differences in our schools. We
became Facebook friends,” says Bourikas.
One common bond was music, says Mimoso, who noted that a love for the
rapper Jay-Z knows no geographical bounds.

Exploring Vietnam
The director of the Golden Key Language School, which provides Englishlanguage instruction for students of all ages, hosted the Suffolk students.
And although the students spent long days teaching and many evenings
lesson planning, they were able to experience some of the sights -- and
tastes -- of Vietnam.
Bourikas and Mimoso both enjoyed the country’s food culture, which
included everything from a wide array of vegetarian options for Mimoso to a
feel-good start to their kindergarten teaching day preparing a hot breakfasts
for the kids.
They visited temples and waited in a silent, winding line for three hours to
enter the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, one of Vietnam’s most popular and
revered sites.
A trip outside the city to Vietnam’s oldest pottery workshop showed the
students another side of Vietnamese life and made a big impression on fine
arts major Bourikas, who reveled in watching the delicate hand-painting by
skilled craftspeople.
15
�Suffolk students try their hands at pottery-making (Photo: Elie Crief)
Lasting lessons
Working with students in Vietnam has reaffirmed Mimoso’s plans to pursue
a teaching career. “It was interesting to see how another culture teaches,”
he said. “Taking the positive and negative lessons from that will make me a
better teacher.”
Running wildly different classes each day was an eye-opening trial by fire
for Bourikas:
“I learned that it’s never a good idea to fly by the seat of your pants.
Prepare, and be ready to handle the things that can go wrong. As a teacher
you need to have a bag of tricks and be able to improvise. If I want to teach,
now I know I can do it.”

�A class of young students in Vietnam visit with the American teachers from
Suffolk University Boston.
In June Suffolk hosted the 2018 International Workshop on Urban
Ecological Security and Sustainability. This was jointly organized by
Professor Patricia Hogan at Suffolk and Professor Xiangrong Wang of Fudan
University in Shanghai. Fudan is one of China’s leading universities with many
17
�international research and outreach programs. During the meetings colleagues from
Suffolk and other institutions in Boston, and from various academic institutions in
China came together to discuss pressing issues such as Urban Planning and
Sustainability, Climate Change Responses, and Data Collection and Interpretation.
They also held a planning session to arrange for the next Workshop, which will be
held next year on the Fudan campus. A group of local high school students were
invited to attend sessions on virtual reality and visit our new physics, science, and
IT laboratories. Major funding for the Workshop was provided by the Rosenberg
Institute, with additional funds from the College of Arts and Sciences Dean’s
Office. The logo used by the Workshop shown below was designed by Peter Kery
who teaches in the Department of Art and Design at Suffolk.
The Workshop was a major international initiative for Suffolk and a major project
for the Rosenberg Institute. A report prepared by Professor Hogan is below.

�Working Together for a Greener World
July 17, 2018
Xiangrong Wang, Director of the Center for Urban Eco-Planning & Design at Fudan
University, addressed the International Workshop on Urban Ecological Security &
Sustainability at Suffolk University.
Because climate change is a global condition best addressed through
interdisciplinary research, institutional investment, and international
collaboration, members of the Center for Urban Ecology &
Sustainability (CUES) at Suffolk University are joining forces with their
counterparts at the Center for Urban Eco-Planning & Design at Fudan
University in Shanghai to work toward a greener future.
The first step took place in June at the inaugural International Workshop on
Urban Ecological Security and Sustainability in Boston, sponsored by
the Rosenberg Institute for East Asian Studies of Suffolk University.

�Patricia Hogan, director of the Center for Urban Ecology & Sustainability at
Suffolk University
All hands on deck
Organized by environmental researchers from both Suffolk and Fudan
University, the three-day conference drew wide participation from other
research institutions, non-governmental organizations, advocacy groups,
and professional societies.
Speakers and participants from Fudan University, Chinese Academy of
Sciences, Nanjing Forestry University, Shanghai Academy of
Environmental Sciences, Shanghai Normal University, and Zhejiang
University were part of the scientific delegation from the Shanghai area.
Local universities represented included Northeastern University, UMASSBoston, Bunker Hill Community College, Massachusetts Maritime Academy,
Wentworth Institute of Technology, and Brown University. Boston-area
speakers included representatives from GreenRoots, Inc. of Chelsea, the
Neponset River Watershed Association, the Institute of International Urban
Development, and the Sustainable Remediation Forum.
Faculty from each of Suffolk’s three schools attended -- representing
departments as diverse as chemistry, biochemistry, art & design, physics,
international business, marketing, and law.

�“With the multifaceted environmental challenges we’re facing right now, it
doesn’t matter what a student’s major is. It’s all hands on deck,” says
Suffolk Professor Patricia Hogan, director of the Center for Urban Ecology
& Sustainability and co-organizer of the conference.
Topics ranged from broad policy and eco-security issues to detailed
research data analysis.
One thread woven throughout the conference was the concept of
environmental justice. John Walkey, the waterfront coordinator for Chelseabased GreenRoots, spoke about reducing disparities in environmental
impact and education among Boston-area immigrant communities.
Professor Sean Solley of Suffolk’s Art & Design Department explored a
similar theme through the lens of sustainable urban development for the
aged, another vulnerable population.
Sean Solley, associate professor & program director, Interior
Architecture & Design
“All populations won’t be impacted equally by climate change,” says Hogan.
“Those most at risk—the poor and marginalized—will suffer most. We don’t
always think of sustainable design in an equitable way, but we need to
keep environmental justice at the forefront.”
The workshop also included a session for high school students as both
universities share a commitment to involving young people in sustainability
work. Students learned about the history of Boston’s development from
21
�History Professor Robert Allison, used virtual reality technology to visualize
both the greenest and the most polluted cities around the world with
Suffolk’s Physics Department, and worked with physical models of the city
with Reed Brockman of the Boston Society of Civil Engineers Section.
Problem solving from multiple perspectives
Both China and the United States have work to do to reduce pollution and
mitigate the effects of climate change. China is the overall highest carbon
dioxide emitter in the world, but the more urbanized U.S. remains the
highest emitter per capita. While America grapples with climate change
denial and weakening environmental protections, China is in the midst of a
“Green China and Eco-civilized China” backlash from industrial urban
pollution—even as it continues to invest heavily in a more sustainable
economy.
As coastal urban cities, Boston and Shanghai face many of the same
climate challenges – but on very different scales. Boston is the largest city
in the New England region but Shanghai is one of the largest megacities in
the world. Comparing the effects of increasing global temperatures,
pollution, and sea-level rise and the efforts to combat these issues could
yield valuable data for both cities and others around the world.
“The city of Shanghai is located at the Yangtze River Delta, an area with
high economic growth, high urbanization and high eco-environmental risk,”
says Hogan’s counterpart Xiangrong Wang, Director of the Center for
Urban Eco-Planning & Design at Fudan University. “It has the typical fragile
features of the development of urban agglomeration in China. It is of great
significance to strengthen the research and the demonstration of ecological
security technology and sustainability here.”
A path forward
Hogan and Wang plan to establish academic and research collaborations
in the coming years, including: joint research projects, student and faculty
exchange programs, training and, potentially, joint online courses.
A strategic planning session held on the workshop’s third day brought
faculty from both schools together to find common interests and lay the
groundwork for future partnerships. The colleagues will meet again next
year when Fudan University hosts the second Urban Ecological Security
and Sustainability Workshop in Shanghai.
22
�“This workshop is a very good platform for scholars, governmental officials
and business people to create academic exchange and potentially explore
markets for urban ecological sustainability. It will be huge benefit for both
China and America,” says Wang.
“The first workshop was a huge success and opened up many
opportunities for cooperation,” says Hogan. “Now we need to take the next
steps forward and make these projects and discoveries happen.”
Faculty and researchers from Suffolk University and Fudan University
gathered for the three-day workshop.

Rosenberg Institute for East Asian Studies
at Suffolk University
Annual Report for 2013-2014
Ronald Suleski, PhD, Director
Overview
The Rosenberg Institute continues to be the beacon for Asian Studies at
Suffolk. Members of the Suffolk community and of the general public in the
New England area equate Suffolk’s Asian Studies initiatives with the
Rosenberg Institute, a point that has been made to the Director many times.
Our very well-received Rosenberg Institute Scholar Series was the most active
of the Institute offerings.
In the past academic year the Rosenberg Institute successfully mobilized
support from several on and off campus organizations. Each organization
contributed their own energies and talents and funds to programs that were
co-sponsored by the Rosenberg Institute. In this way we take advantage of the
synergies of working with like-minded groups, and we save on the costs to
Suffolk for our events.
The active on-campus unit was the Asian Studies Program. This is aimed at
undergraduate students who want to add an in-depth knowledge of Asia and
an Asian language to their skill set. They may declare either an Asian Studies
1
�Major, double major (with another discipline such as Economics, History,
Philosophy, etc.), or as a Minor field. Students must meet the credit and
course requirements set by the program, and they must pass a final pregraduation assessment by a panel of members of the Program.
One of the active off-campus bodies this academic year was a member of our
community outreach partners, the Chinese Historical Society of New England
(CHSNE). A number of Suffolk faculty and staff are present or past members
of CHSNE. Suffolk students often have internships, both paid and unpaid,
with this organization as part of their training program in Asian Studies.
In the 2013-2014 academic year both of these organizations held several
programs of interest to Suffolk and to the general public as well. The
Rosenberg Institute assisted in publicizing the events and drawing in an
audience. As a result, at each of these events Suffolk students and staff were
joined by members of the general public, reinforcing the image of Suffolk as
an educational institution deeply rooted in the Boston community and making
its resources available to the general public.
Rosenberg Institute Scholar Series
The “core” of our activities continues to be the Rosenberg Institute Scholar Series.
These are the most distinguished of our speakers who make a presentation on
campus and are available to meet with interested faculty and students before or
after their public lecture. It is the centerpiece of our programs, around which we
build our other activities. We had seven speakers in our Series this past academic
year.
2
�We were able to secure The Poetry Center, housed within the Mildred F. Sawyer
Library, as the venue for all of our talks given as part of this Series. The speakers
in several cases were international visitors (whose travel costs were paid by other
organizations). In each case we had a full house, often with over fifty audience
members per talk. In two cases, the diplomatic offices in Boston of Korea and
Taiwan generously made the speakers available to Suffolk and reported back to
their home governments on our favorable cooperation.
Rosenberg Institute Scholar Series
Fall 2013
The Chinese Exclusion Act: What It Can Teach Us About America. 排華法案
Dr. Ben Railton. He is Associate Professor of English Studies and Coordinator of
American Studies at Fitchburg State University. His new book, the title of his talk,
highlights how remembering the Chinese Exclusion Act can help us as we consider
the issues of legal/illegal immigration and American diversity. The inspiring
American stories we discovered shifted our understanding of American identity
and communities, past and present. Co-sponsored with the American Studies
Minor Program of the History Department and the Asian Studies Program.
September 2013.
Between Integration and Coexistence: US and Chinese Strategies of World Order. 中
美外交之將來. Dr. Liselotte Odgaard is Associate Professor at the Royal Danish
Defence College. Her areas of expertise include International Relations, AsiaPacific Security and China Studies. She has published China and Coexistence:
Beijing’s National Security Strategy for the 21st Century (Woodrow Wilson
Center Press/Johns Hopkins University Press, 2012). September 2013.
3
�Asian and Asian-American Studies: Challenges and Opportunities. Dr. Peter
Nien-chu Kiang (江念祖), Director of the Asian-American Studies Program at
UMass Boston. He has been helping Asian immigrants into New England to build
successful lives for them and their families. He brings both intellectual and streetsmart knowledge to this topic. October 2013.
"The Korean Peninsula: Challenge & Opportunity 韓國朝鮮將來如何
Kangho Park , Consul-General of the Republic of Korea in Boston. This area
of the world has again been in the news a lot in the 2013-2014 academic year. It
sometimes appears the North Korean leader Kim Jongun wants to start a war. Late
in 2013 President Obama moved in US ships and missiles, Japan went on alert, and
Chinese President Xi Jinping slapped the hand of North Korea and said “Stop this
now!” November 2013.
Spring 2014
Democracy in Taiwan and Mainland China 民主主義在台灣在中國. Dr.
David J. Lorenzo, National Chengchi University, Taipei. Dr. Lorenzo discussed
his exciting new book that explains how Chinese leaders have felt about the idea of
democracy in the twentieth century. He looked at several famous Chinese leaders,
including Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Ching-kuo, not forgetting
Wen Jiabao and various contemporary democracy advocates both inside and
outside the CCP. This book tells us that a more orderly form of democratic
interaction, usually coupled with heavy government “guidance,” has been preferred.

�Co-sponsored by the Rosenberg Institute for East Asian Studies and the Taipei
Economic and Cultural Office in Boston. February 2014.
Australian-Asian Co-productions: A case study of ABC-HBO Asia
partnership. Dr. Robert DeFillippi, Suffolk University, spoke about how many
Asian producers of film and TV do not like the American Hollywood model of
global production. The Asians want to focus on local themes relevant to their own
societies, and they want to focus on programming for younger viewers. The Asian
producers want to work with Asian creative talent to bring the films and dramas to
market. Professor DeFillippi has been working most recently in Australia, Japan,
and Indonesia on his research. Co-sponsored by the Rosenberg Institute for East
Asian Studies and the Department of Communication and Journalism. March 2014.
Media in China: more unintended consequences? 傳播? 中國? 結果? Dr.
Marcus Breen, Bond University, Queensland, Australia. This presentation
highlighted issues that confront Chinese society because of the Internet. For
example, the newly informed Chinese masses are demanding access to improved
living conditions and sometimes riot, which is an indicator of how the Internet may
empower the masses against the state, even while the official state line is that the
masses should be empowered. Co-sponsored by the Rosenberg Institute for East
Asian Studies and the Department of Communication and Journalism. March 2014.
The final two talks in the Institute Scholar Series were co-sponsored with the
Department of Communication and Journalism, being of special interest to students
in the department. Those were the talks listed above by Dr Fellippi and Dr. Breen.
Many of the audience members for those talks were students in Communication
5
�and Journalism courses. Professor Micky Lee’s help was instrumental in
organizing these two talks.
Special Public Event: The China Town Hall Meeting
The China Town Hall Meeting, 中美關係 最近報告 featured a discussion
with former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. This was the seventh annual
meeting and the fourth held at Suffolk. Secretary Albright spoke to us via a live
webcast from Washington, DC. We gathered in The Suffolk Law School at
6:15pm (the webcast from Washington, DC began at 7:00pm). The speaker
brought in by the National Committee was Associate Professor Vanessa Fong
from Amherst College. She was an engaging speaker who stimulated the audience
to ask many questions and the audience was extremely pleased with her talk.
The meeting was sponsored in Boston by the Rosenberg Institute for East Asian
Studies at Suffolk and WorldBoston, in conjunction with the National Committee
on United States-China Relations (New York). These National committee events
are underwritten by the Starr Foundation. October 2013.
Asian Studies Program
The activities of the Asian Studies Program promote an interest in Asia on the
campus and encourage interested students to select an Asian Studies major or
6
�minor. Students from other campuses in the area attended these events, though the
majority were Suffolk students. This past academic year, several of the lectures in
the Institute Scholar Series received assistance from the Asian Studies Program,
among them the talks by Dr. Railton and Dr. Kiang.
In addition, the Asian studies Program sponsored the following talks, which were
also assisted and promoted by the Rosenberg Institute.
Asian Studies Program Open House. Suffolk students who were in China,
Korea, and Japan this past year showed slides about their adventures. Suffolk
faculty talked about the Asia-related courses to be offered in the spring 2014
semester. Asian food was served! Sponsored by the Asian Studies Program and
the Rosenberg Institute for East Asian Studies. October 2013.
Careers in Asia 在亞洲工作. The Careers Office at Suffolk University
presented a speaker who had experience working in Asia. Students interested in a
career working in Asia asked questions and talked about their plans. Co-sponsored
by the Asian Studies Program and the Rosenberg Institute and the Careers Office
of Suffolk University. October 2013.
Destination Tibet: Visit to the Roof of the World. 西藏 西藏. Our intrepid
colleague Professor Jonathan Haughton spent summer 2013 teaching in
Shanghai, then took a trip to Tibet. He coped with the high altitude and the
tensions between Chinese and Tibetans. He showed the astounding slides he took
and talked about what he saw, setting his comments in an historical context. He has
been traveling in Asia for decades, so gave an informed commentary. Cosponsored by the Asian Studies Program and the Rosenberg Institute. November
2013.
7
�Women, Career and Education in Modern China. We asked three female
professors at Suffolk, each with a Chinese cultural background, to speak to us
about their female perspectives on education and travel to America. The speakers
were Micky Lee from Communication and Journalism; Kate Li from Information
Systems and Operations Management, and Susan Wang, Visiting Scholar from
China. Co-sponsored by the Rosenberg Institute and the Asian Studies Program.
February 2014.
Nowruz, a spring festival of Persian origin that has been celebrated for over
3,000 years. This traditional Persian (Iranian) New Year celebration was explained
by visiting scholar Mahdi Farhani Monfared from the Department of History.
The audience also enjoyed some Persian food and pastries baked by Dr.
Monfared’s wife as well as the colorful power point talk about the antecedents of
the celebration. March 2014.
Cooperation with Other Organizations
Year of the Horse 2014 Chinese Lunar New Year Celebration 馬到成功. In
addition to a talent show performed by Chinese students in Boston, the evening
ended with a full course Chinese meal catered in the student cafeteria in the
Donahue Building. President and Mrs. McCarthy joined other faculty, staff and
students from Suffolk at this gala event. The activities were organized by the
8
�undergraduate Chinese Student Association and the Taiwan Student Association.
The Welsh Theater on campus, holding 250 persons, was sold out for the event.
(Dr. Suleski is faculty advisor to the Chinese Student Association.) Co-sponsored
by the Rosenberg Institute and the International Student Office. February 2014.
Disappearing Chinatowns. Dr. Andrew Leong is co-author of a report prepared
by the Asian-American Legal Defense Fund. It examines the situation for
Chinatowns in New York City, Philadelphia and Boston. Our Chinatown in
Boston is a good example. The building owners are absentee families who don’t
live in the area. They are happy to sell their property to a developer who puts up
high-rise condos, which many of the workers and residents of Chinatown cannot
afford. The restaurants close and jobs are lost, so the workers and patrons move on
to other locations. The Chinatowns begin to disappear. We can see this happening
in Boston’s Chinatown, now being surrounded by buildings much higher than the
historic buildings of three or five stories. A meal of Chinese food was served. Cosponsored by Diversity Services, the Suffolk Asian-American Association, and the
Rosenberg Institute. April 2014.
The First Chinese American: The Remarkable Life of Wong Chin Foo. Author
Scott Seligman talked about his new book . The book tells the story of an early
advocate for the Chinese communities in the United States in the late 1800s. Held
at the Kwong Kow Chinese School Auditorium, 87 Tyler Street in Boston
Chinatown, with many members of the local Chinese community present. This talk
was organized by the Chinese Historical Society of New England (CHSNE) and
co-sponsored by: The MA Cultural Council, the Asian Resource Workshop, the
Wong Family Benevolent Association, the Asian Studies Program at Suffolk
University, and the Rosenberg Institute for East Asian Studies. April 2014.
9
�The first Boston screening of The Iron Road was shown at Suffolk’s Modern
Theatre. A story about the Canadian transcontinental railroad, the exploitation of
workers, the danger, the anti-Chinese feelings, plus a romantic drama. It was part
of the Boston Asian-American Film Festival (AARW), and was co-sponsored by
the Chinese Historical Society of New England (CHSNE) and the Rosenberg
Institute for East Asian Studies at Suffolk, along with Bridgewater State University.
All Suffolk-affiliated people were admitted free.
Sending Suffolk Students to Asia
Among the goals of the Rosenberg Institute at Suffolk is to encourage students to
travel for study abroad in Asia. As part of this effort a generous gift from our
benefactor Mr. Richard M. Rosenberg in the fall of 2013 allowed us to establish
the Richard M. Rosenberg Asian Studies Scholarship early in 2014.
To be eligible for consideration, applicants need to be a fulltime Suffolk student,
with a GPA of 3.0 or above, having declared a Major or Minor in Asian Studies.
Applicants submit a resume and a short essay of about 500 words, stating their
academic interests and plan of study abroad.
The first student, Hannah Lyn Duhaime was awarded a scholarship of $2,000 to
assist her in the spring 2014 semester in Kyoto on the campus of our partner school
Ristumeikan University. Hannah has maintained a GPA of 3.85 and is majoring in
Advertising with a Minor in Asian Studies.
Suffolk continues to send its students to study in Asia, often for a single
semester. In the 2012-2013 academic year we had four students studying in China;
five students studying in Japan, and four students who went to Korea. The
students in China received scholarships from the Fulbright Program. The students
in Japan were at our partner school Sophia University in Tokyo and after returning
10
�to the Suffolk campus they organized a Japan Student Association which in the
2013-2014 academic year held a number of activities at which Japanese was the
language of communication. The students in Korea each received a scholarship
from the Jongha Scholarship Foundation organized by KCC Corporation in Seoul.
Dr. Henry Kim of the Economics Department assisted Dr. Suleski and Dr. Zheng
in these programs.
Rosenberg Institute Hosts visiting Scholar from China.
In the 2013-2014 academic year, the Rosenberg Institute welcomed Dr. Liu Xiaoli
劉曉麗 as a visiting scholar for a one year appointment. The invitation letter was
issued by Dean Greenberg and Dr. Liu was invited to be housed in the Department
of History by department chair Dr. Robert Allison.
Dr. Liu is a specialist on the recovered literature of the Manchukuo. This was a
puppet state set up by the Japanese from 1932 to 1945 when they occupied
Northeast China. Its traces are highly visible in northeast China still today: the
major rail lines run on beds laid out by the Japanese; striking buildings put up on
those days are used today for hotels, banks, and hospitals; large-scale coal mining
operations expanded by the Japanese are still in use today.
Dr. Liu has been rediscovering literature produced during that period, stories and
essays about the life and times of Manchukuo that had disappeared from public
notice for nearly seventy years. When Manchukuo suddenly collapsed at the end of
the war, most of the literature written in Chinese and in Japanese was “lost,”
because it had appeared serialized in newspapers and magazines. But few libraries
had collected the newspapers or magazines. Through careful research of library
11
�holdings and used book markets, Dr. Liu has been able to retrieve and “re-create”
much of this literature, which will appear in Chinese in a series of thirty-five
volumes edited by Dr. Liu. Since Manchuria is also a specialization of Dr. Suleski,
Dr. Liu wanted to be based at Suffolk.
Dr. Liu was given an Outstanding Young Scholar award by the Chinese Ministry
of Education in 2009. She teaches at East China Normal University in Shanghai,
one of China’s outstanding schools. Her expenses at Suffolk were completely
covered by the Chinese government.
Suffolk and Harvard Co-sponsor a one-day workshop on the importance of
Manchukuo.
In this case, the Rosenberg Institute joined with the Weatherhead Center for
International Affairs at Harvard to put on the workshop which featured several
well-known scholars in the field, plus graduate students from Harvard and Yale. Dr.
Liu Xiaoli made a presentation about her research, and Dr. Suleski chaired a panel
of experts. The workshop was titled The Making and Unmaking of Manchukuo.
It took place on the Harvard campus in April 2014. Scholars from Suffolk also
attended. The Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard, Dr. Suleski’s
previous employer, also joined to provide funds for the gathering and the current
Center Director Dr. Mark Elliott, chaired the workshop.

�Heaven the Equalizer. Rosenberg Institute Sponsored an Exhibition of
Chinese Paintings. See poster below.
13
�14
�In April and May 2014, the Rosenberg Institute joined with the Mildred F. Sawyer
Library to sponsor an exhibition of paintings by shanghai artist Li Linxiang 李林
祥. The exhibition was titled Heaven the Equalizer (tiangou 天鈎). Li uses
traditional rice paper, inks and brushes, but his creations tend to be very symbolic,
prompting an intellectual response from the viewer. The five creations hung in the
large display cabinet at the entrance to the Sawyer Library were all mounted on
traditional-style scrolls. Li has exhibited in Canada, Europe and Australia, but this
was his first exhibition in the United States.
An Opening Reception was held in April 2914, at which many of the top officers
of Suffolk were present to congratulate the artist. Among these were President
James McCarthy, Interim Provost Bernard Keenan, Vice-Provost Jeffry Pokorak,
Dean Kenneth Greenberg, History Chair Robert Allison, Library Director Sharon
Britten, and Dr. Suleski of the Rosenberg Institute. Artist Li presented a traditional
style scroll of mountains and rivers to the Rosenberg Institute. The scroll was
accepted on behalf of the Institute by President McCarthy, and it is now on loan
hanging in the president’s office. (Artist Li Linxiang is the husband of our visiting
scholar Liu Xiaoli, so he paid his own expenses to Boston since his purpose was to
visit his wife and daughter for two months.) A news story about the opening
reception was put on the front page of the Suffolk University Homepage. A photo
from the opening Reception is below.

Visitors to the Rosenberg Institute in 2013-2014
Dr. Suleski is always pleased to welcome professional visitors to the Institute,
where they learn about our programs and also relate the projects they are working
on. They offer advice about possible projects and directions we might take. In no
16
�small measure, they help to spread the word about the active programs of the
Rosenberg Institute to their own institutions.

�Community Outreach Partners
In order to spread word of Suffolk and its Asian Studies programs throughout the
wider Boston and New England area, The Rosenberg Institute has identified
several local non-profit community-based organizations that deal with Asia. These
are designated as part of the Institute’s Community Outreach Partners. An
overview of these programs follows.
In September 2013, for the fourth year in a row, through the Rosenberg Institute,
Suffolk provided a welcoming meeting space to the Taiwan diplomatic office in
Boston, the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO), for their annual
gathering titled Taiwan Student Leaders in America 台灣留學生交流會.
Outstanding students from Taiwan studying the in United States were brought to
the Suffolk campus for a full day of exchanging ideas and experiences. The costs
were completely covered by TECO.
The Rosenberg Institute continues to endorse the Chinese Historical Society of
New England (CHSNE) as one of our community outreach partners. Suffolk
faculty serve on the board of this organization. The Society’s annual dinner was
held in September 2013 at the China Pearl Restaurant in Boston’s Chinatown.
Suffolk faculty were invited to join the Rosenberg Institute table, where they met
many leaders of the Boston Chinatown community, including several whose
children attend Suffolk or have graduated from Suffolk.
Primary Source is a non-profit organization advocating for teaching about Asia in
the junior high and high school curriculum. They have achieved a notable success
in New England, which ranks as one of the best regions in the country in terms of
21
�offering courses and study units about Asia. The Rosenberg Institute endorses
Primary Source as one of our Community Outreach Partners.
In December 2013 Suffolk University and the Rosenberg Institute hosted 12
students and faculty from Brookline High School. They were welcomed by Dan
Wu from International Student Advising and Study Abroad, who is a graduate of
BHS. Ronald Suleski of the Rosenberg Institute also welcomed the students to our
campus. Suffolk Student Ambassadors then took everyone on a tour of the Suffolk
campus. Eight of these students were from the Gaoxin School in Xian China,
staying with host families in Brookline. Five of the students were from BHS. They
were studying Chinese and in the spring 2014 semester they went to China with
their Chinese student friends and lived with their host families in China.
In March 2014 the Boston Chinatown Community Center (BCNC) annual
Chinese New Year banquet was held at the Empire Garden Restaurant in
Chinatown. The Rosenberg Institute endorses their activities, which are widely
recognized in the Boston area. A delegation from Suffolk including Dr. Suleski
attended their annual banquet. They have provided internship opportunities for
Suffolk students, and in the past have hired Suffolk students for their staff.
Middlesex Community College is an outstanding community college located in
Lowell, MA. They are particularly active in bringing programs about Asia to their
campus. On a number of occasions they have asked the Rosenberg Institute to help
publicize their activities, and Dr. Suleski was pleased to assist. They have helped
spread the word about the Suffolk and the Rosenberg Institute into the Lowell area.
Suffolk regularly received transfer students from Middlesex Community College.
22
�Contractual Matters
The Rosenberg Institute and its programs are all conducted according to the Terms
of Agreement signed in July 2007 between Mr. Richard M. Rosenberg and Suffolk
University. This Report is submitted in accordance with the original Terms of
Agreement.
The Rosenberg Institute Scholar Series is conducted according to the Terms of
Agreement as signed in July 2007 and as modified by the Memorandum by Dean
Greenberg agreed to in Fall 2008, which provided for individual lectures to be
offered on campus throughout the academic year.
During the 2013-2014 academic year being reported here Suffolk again withdrew
money from the earnings of the endowment fund to cover the Institute’s operating
budget. Suffolk University has been careful to honor the specific terms listed in the
original agreement with Barbara and Richard M. Rosenberg, and in fact has gone
beyond the original terms by hiring Dr. Suleski as a full –time (rather than as a
part-time) administrator. Suffolk has also made available an office for the Institute,
the support services of Suffolk, such as media and communications assistance,
student work-study help, etc.
The Rosenberg Institute cooperates with the Asian Studies Program, which is a
student-focused program of academic study and activities centering on Asia. This
cooperation allows the activities of the Rosenberg Institute to reach the widest
possible audience of students and faculty on campus. The activities of the Asian
Studies Program were covered entirely by Suffolk University funds. In addition,
the Rosenberg Institute cooperated in the 2013-2014 academic year with oncampus student-oriented programs such as the Study Abroad Office, the Career
23
�Services Office, the Diversity Office, and the Department of Communication and
Journalism.

Rosenberg Institute for East Asian Studies
at Suffolk University
Annual Report for 2012-2013
Ronald Suleski, PhD, Director
Overview
Happily the Rosenberg Institute continues to come to the attention of
individuals and organizations both on and off campus. We were
approached by the Ford Hall Forum, the nation’s oldest continuously
operating free public lecture series to co-sponsor a program. The Forum
began in 1908 as a series of Sunday evening public meetings held at
Ford Hall on Beacon Hill. The Forum is supported by Suffolk University.
In spring 2013 Dr. Suleski was invited to speak before a Chinese cultural
group, the Yiwen xiaoji (藝文小集 Arts and Culture Society) in Newton,
a group of locally prominent Chinese-American citizens, a group that
has previously not had any contact with Suffolk. This past academic
year the re-vitalized Chinese Students and Scholars Association has also
asked for Rosenberg Institute for help in sponsoring events, as did the
student-run Suffolk Asian Business Club.
It is now to be expected that when Dr. Suleski visits other campuses in
the area to attend an Asia-related program or reception, people will
comment to him on how active the Rosenberg Institute is both as a
member of the Suffolk community and as a good neighbor to the citizens
of nearby Chinatown in Boston. Rosenberg Institute programs add
luster to the reputation of Suffolk. Indeed, we continue to hear of
1
�students who consider study at Suffolk because of its Asian Studies
program.
Under our new president James McCarthy, Suffolk is defining and
stabilizing its mission and goals for the future. The president has been
supportive of the Rosenberg Institute and of its mission to support global
education and awareness, as has Dean Greenberg. In this past academic
year the Institute has also benefitted from the cooperation of many
faculty members who have willingly given public lectures under our
auspices.
A. The section below lists the activities of the Rosenberg Institute
conducted in conformance with the Terms of Agreement signed in July
2007, as modified by the Memorandum by Dean Greenberg agreed to in
Fall 2008. These two documents call for a series of Distinguished
Visitors. We have named this the Rosenberg Institute Scholar Series.
Rosenberg Institute Scholar Series
During the academic year we scheduled 11 public programs on the Suffolk campus
as part of the Rosenberg Institute Scholar Series. We continued to enjoy high
audience numbers. Frequently professors assigned a talk as part of their course
instruction. Talks were held both in the Munce Conference Room, which we have
often used in the past, and also in the Poetry Center in the Sawyer Library. The
latter is a bright venue appreciated by all (but is much in demand). We regularly
found that we had a standing-room-only audience (about 60 persons) in the Poetry
Center. Further, five of the talks were by Suffolk faculty or professional staff,
which served to showcase the talent and depth of learning we offer students on the
Suffolk campus. We sponsored a talk along with the History Department at Suffolk.
Each of the talks drew audience from nearby schools and from the larger Boston
2
�community. This serves to enhance Suffolk’s reputation and reinforces our
contribution to the educational community here.
Rosenberg Institute Scholar Series in 2012-2013
Fall 2012 Schedule
The Future of Chinese Seapower 中國未來的海上實力, Dr. Toshi Yoshihara,
Naval War College Dr. Toshi Yoshihara, Naval War College. Students reported
this was an eye-opening talk for them because they had known nothing about
China’s naval strategy or about American reactions to China’s naval build-up.
September 2012
Being an Asian-American in America 美國的亞裔, Dan Wu, Director of
Enrollment Partnership Programs, Suffolk University. Dan is a popular lecturer
because he is close to the age of our students, and tells them stories of
discrimination, some of it not-intended, as he was growing up in the Brookline
section of Boston. October 2012
International Business in Asia Today 今日亞洲國際貿易. Dr. C. Gopinath,
Sawyer Business School, Suffolk University. This popular Sawyer School
professor, known to many by his nickname Gopi, talked about consumers in India
who are very poor and don’t even have places to put consumer products. He then
told how entrepreneurs in India are designing products and marketing strategies
aimed at exactly this audience, and the surprising results when millions of people
become customers. October 2013
China’s New Leadership and the Bo Xilai Scandal 中國的新一代領導與薄熙
來醜聞. Dr. Joseph Fewsmith, Boston University. Coming exactly at the time a
new leadership in China is taking the reins of power, we invited one of the
country’s leading scholars of elite politics in China to speak to our students. This
could not have been a more timely talk. October 2012
3
�Social Outcast, Rebellious Critic: The World of Dazai Osamu (1909-1948). 太
宰治の世界。Dr. Sara Dillon, Suffolk Law School. Before taking her law
degree, Dr. Dillon received a PhD in modern Japanese literature from Stanford!
We asked her to speak about the important author she had studied for her
dissertation, to the delight of our students. November 2012
North Korea: The Father, The Son and The Sacred System 北韓: 父,子,與
聖制. Ambassador Friedrich Lohr, Distinguished Visiting Scholar at Suffolk,
former German Ambassador to North Korea. Since Suffolk is the only university
in New England, perhaps anywhere in the US, to have a former ambassador to
North Korea, we asked Professor Lohr to talk to us and show slides of his official
life in Pyongyang. The audience found this an intriguing talk. November 2012
Spring 2013 Schedule
Asian American Studies Perspectives on Health, Work, and Education, Dr.
Peter Nien-chu Kiang (江念祖), Professor of Education and Director of the Asian
American Studies Program at the University of Massachusetts Boston. Wellknown to the Chinese-American community in Boston, Dr. Kiang is a wellorganized and clear speaker. Scheduled for February 2013, the program had to be
cancelled because of a major snowstorm which closed Suffolk.
Italians in China, 1900-1947 Dr. Shirley Smith, Skidmore College. The
Rosenberg Institute joined with the History Department to co-sponsor this talk by a
scholar who has recently published a book about Italians taking part in the colonial
land-grab in China in the 1900s. Students commented favorably on the interesting
slides of Italian architecture in China that she showed. February 2013
My Writing Life: Vietnamese American Writer Andrew Lam Tells His Stories.
Andrew Lam, Author and NPR Commentator Andrew escaped from Vietnam
with his family when he was 11. He grew up in American, but did not forget his
earlier life or the cultural values of the Vietnamese. He spoke about cultural
adjustment and Asian family life in the United States. March 2013
4
�Coffee Life in Japan, Dr. Merry White, Boston University. Dr. White tells us
people in Japan drink more coffee than they do tea or beer. Coffee is the favored
drink for business meetings, dating, or when hanging out with friends. Part
academic study and party memoir, she told us about how coffee shops in Japan are
like, but not like, Starbucks. March 2013
Special Public Event: The China Town Hall Meeting
China Town Hall; Local Connections, National Reflections.
Ambassador Gary Locke spoke from Beijing via a live video feed on
Issues in United States - China Relations 中美關係 – 最近報告. This
program, the fourth year in a row for Suffolk, was set for the Suffolk Law
School. China specialist Kevin G. Nealer of the Scowcroft Group that
provides risk analysis and multinational investment management consulting
was to be present to introduce the program and be available to answer
questions from the audience. Sponsored by the Rosenberg Institute at
Suffolk University, WorldBoston (A World Affairs Council), in cooperation
with the National Committee on United States China Relations (New York).
Scheduled for 29 October 2012. Unfortunately, this was the night Hurricane
Sandy hit the east coast, Suffolk closed, and commuters left the city. The online portion of the program went on so it could be watched at home, but we
had to disassemble all of our preparations for this event at Suffolk.
B. During the 2012-2013 academic year being reported here Suffolk again
withdrew money from the earnings of the endowment fund to cover a
portion of the Institute’s budget. Suffolk University has been careful to
honor the specific terms listed in the original agreement with Barbara
and Richard M. Rosenberg. The University hired a full-time
administrator (the Director) for the Institute (going well beyond the
part-time position called for in the original agreement), provided
professional and suitable office space for the Director, and has made
available all of the necessary facilities and support services for
5
�Rosenberg Institute activities . It has also supported the marketing and
communications activities of the Institute. The Institute used University
email lists, as well as the email lists developed by the Institute, to
advertise all of its programs and activities.
This Report is submitted in accordance with the original Terms of
Agreement.
C. Cooperation with the Asian Studies Program. As administrator of the
Rosenberg Institute, the Director was asked by the University to
cooperate with the Asian Studies Program established in fall 2009. In
some cases the Rosenberg Institute lent its name in support of these
activities and used its email lists to help draw an audience. The Asian
Studies Program is chaired by Professor Da Zheng. The activities of the
Asian Studies Program were covered entirely by Suffolk University
funds. These programs helped to promote an interest in Asia on the
campus and to encourage interested students to select an Asian Studies
major or minor. Students from other campuses in the area attended
these events, though the majority were Suffolk students. Many faculty
members, from Suffolk and nearby schools, were also present at all of
these events. The Director of the Rosenberg Institute was actively
involved in all of the events listed below.
Promoting Suffolk’s Asia-Related Activities
Dr. Suleski continued to use his extensive of email contacts to publicize
Suffolk programs and activities related to Asia. The lists keep growing
but the only people added are those who voluntarily give their contact
information. These emails build a sense of community among those who
are interested in Asia. They draw in other organizations who ask Dr.
Suleski to publicize their Asia-related talks or programs.
6
�Suffolk students studied in China, Japan and Korea during the 2012-2013
academic year. Suffolk had four students in Tokyo at Sophia University during
the academic year. We had two students in China, accepted as part of a special
Fulbright program which gave them full scholarships. They were the subject of
local news coverage by Chinese TV in Xian where they were living. In summer of
2013 we had four students studying in Seoul. These students joined the Summer
Korean Language Institute at Yonsei University. They each received a scholarship
from the Chongha Scholarship Foundation in Seoul, arranged through the
cooperation of Dr. Suleski and Dr. Henry Kim (Economics). Some had the option
of an internship at a Korean company. The Rosenberg Institute was active in
publicizing the opportunities for students, in recruiting and interviewing candidates
for the Asia study abroad programs.
In October 2012 the Asian Studies Program held an Open House. The purpose
was to allow our students who had been on study abroad in the 2011-2012
academic year, including the 2012 summer programs,. The students showed slides
taken while abroad in Asia, and talked about their experiences from their student
perspective. Free Asian food was served. Several Asian Studies faculty introduced
themselves and told about the courses they would offer in the spring 2013 semester.
Once again the Rosenberg Institute was a co-sponsor when the Suffolk community
celebrated the Year of the Snake at a Lunar New Year Party in February 2013.
The program on that occasion included Chinese music played by several students
on traditional instruments, and some guessing games popular with the international
students. An excellent spread of Chinese food was enjoyed by all present. Dr.
Suleski spoke in Chinese to extend the wishes of the Institute to all Suffolk
students of Chinese and Asian ancestry.
In March 2012 the Rosenberg Institute co-sponsored a day-long Suffolk Asia
Business Forum at the Sawyer Business School . The Rosenberg Institute teamed
up with the Suffolk Asian Business Club (SABC) and the Suffolk University Asia
Business Forum (SABF) to put on the event, where a number of prominent
executives told about doing business with Asia. All of the students present agreed
that it was the best networking event any Suffolk student interested in Asia could
ask for.
7
�In April 2012 the Rosenberg Institute was involved in promoting Asian American
Heritage Month at Suffolk. The highlight was a talk by noted educator Peter
Nien-chu Kiang 江念祖, Director of the Asian-American Studies Program at
UMass Boston. He spoke about “Education and Empowerment for Asian
Americans in Boston”. The Rosenberg Institute cooperated with the Suffolk Office
of Diversity Services to present the program.
In May 2013, in cooperation with the Ford Hall Forum, the Rosenberg Institute
co-sponsored The Chinese-American Dream, with author Anchee Min.
Moderated by Professor Elif Armbruster of Suffolk’s English Department. The
author’s new book The Cooked Seed, tells her story of leaving China after the
Cultural Revolution and coming to the United States. She worked five jobs at once,
suffered rape, exhaustion and divorce. She told us about her unique immigration
narrative.
D. Every attempt was made to increase the visibility of the Rosenberg
Institute and the Asian Studies Program at Suffolk. The section below
indicates the major categories of these activities: Welcoming Visitors to
the Institute; Promoting Suffolk’s Asia-Related Activities; Community
Outreach Programs.
Visitors to the Rosenberg Institute in 2012-2013
Dr. Suleski is always pleased to welcome professional visitors to the Institute,
where they learn about our programs and also relate the projects they are working
on. They offer advice about possible projects and directions we might take. In no
small measure, they help to spread the word about the active programs of the
Rosenberg Institute to their own institutions. During the 2012-2013 academic year
a number of other Asia-related institutions in New England asked the Rosenberg
Institute to help publicize their events and draw an audience. These instances
represented a recognition of the active programs and influenctial position of the
Rosenberg Institute. Requests came from: The Asia Center at Harvard, the Asian
8
�Studies Program at Boston University, UMass Boston, and The Asia Initiatives at
Middlesex Community College.

Suffolk provided a welcoming meeting space to the Taiwan diplomatic office in
Boston, the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO), for their annual
gathering titled Taiwan Student Leaders in America 台灣留學生交流會.
Outstanding students from Taiwan studying the in United States were brought to
the Suffolk campus for a full day of exchanging ideas and experiences. The costs
were completely covered by TECO.
The Rosenberg Institute continues to endorse the Chinese Historical Society of
New England (CHSNE) as one of our community outreach partners. Suffolk
faculty serve on the board of this organization. The Society’s annual dinner was
held in September 2012 at the China Pearl Restaurant in Boston’s Chinatown. In
addition to Dr, Suleski and a number of Suffolk faculty, we also met two Suffolk
students from Chinatown who were receiving scholarships awarded through the
auspices of CHENSE.

Primary Source is a non-profit organization advocating for the teaching about
Asia in the junior high and high school curriculum. They have achieved a notable
success in New England, which ranks as one of the best regions in the country in
terms of offering courses and study units about Asia. The Rosenberg Institute
endorses Primary Source as one of our Community Outreach Partners. Their
annual gathering was held in October 2012. In April 2013 Primary Source cosponsored the National Chinese Language Conference at the Marriot Copley in
13
�Boston. This was in conjunction with the Asia Society and the College Board.
Thousands of teachers, academic administrators, non-profit executives, and even
Chinese language students attended. The Rosenberg Institute assisted in promoting
this event and Dr. Suleski attended the Plenary Session.
In November 2012 the Asian Task Force against Domestic Violence (ATASK)
held a social gathering and buffet dinner. This organization does important work
by providing intervention and counseling for Asian women in the state who are
victims of domestic violence. A Suffolk faculty member and a member of the
Asian Studies Committee, Dr. Sukanya Ray in Psychology, is a board member of
this group.
In December 2012 Suffolk University and the Rosenberg Institute hosted 17
students and faculty from Brookline High School. They were welcomed by Dan
Wu from International Student Advising and Study Abroad, who is a graduate of
BHS. Ronald Suleski of the Rosenberg Institute also welcomed the students to our
campus. Suffolk Student Ambassador Brad Migliacci then took everyone on a tour
of Suffolk. Eight of these students were from the Gaoxin School in Xian China,
staying with host families in Brookline. Nine of the students were from BHS.
They were studying Chinese and in the spring 2013 semester they lived with their
host families in China.
In March 2013 the Boston Chinatown Community Center (BCNC) annual
Chinese New Year banquet was held at the Empire Garden Restaurant in

Newton. Titled the Arts and Culture Group (wenyi xiaoji 文藝小集), they
wanted to know about Dr. Suleski’s research, and at the same time proudly showed
the facilities of the building they own in Newton. The group’s activities are bi-
14
�lingual in Chinese and English, and a number of prominent Chinese-American
citizens from the Newton community were present.
Middlesex Community College is an outstanding community college located in
Lowell, MA. They are particularly active in bringing programs about Asia to their
campus. On a number of occasions they have asked the Rosenberg Institute to help
publicize their activities, and Dr. Suleski was pleased to assist. Their faculty and
Suffolk faculty often meet at New England conferences, so good communication
continues to characterize Middlesex and the Rosenberg Institute.
