Uraian Tempat

Chinese language was first taught at Harvard during a span of three years, from 1879 to 1882, by Chinese scholar Ge Kunhua (pictured at left,) but was not taught on a regular basis until 1921. In 1928, through the generous bequest of Charles Martin Hall the Harvard-Yenching Institute was formed in partnership with China's Yenching University, laying a strong foundation for Harvard's commitment to the study of Asia.Harvard began to offer Japanese language instruction on a regular basis in 1931. In 1937 Chinese and Japanese instruction, previously offered in the Department of Semitic Languages and History, found a more appropriate home in the newly created Department of Far Eastern Languages (also referred to at the time as the Division of Far Eastern Languages.) In 1941, the Department of Far Eastern Languages offered its first Ph.D., jointly with the Department of History. Most Ph.D.degrees awarded in Far Eastern Languages between 1941 and 1972 were in fact joint degrees in History and Far Eastern Languages. In 1939 the undergraduate course "History of East Asian Civilization" was offered for the first time.The course began to be offered yearly in 1946 and included a one semester introduction to Chinese civilization taught by John King Fairbank and one semester on Japan taught by Edwin O. Reischauer. These courses are taught to this day, currently as Historical Study A-13 and A-14, Tradition and Transformation (in China and Japan, respectively.) In 1972 the department changed its name from Far Eastern Languages to East Asian Languages and Civilizations.
