Antics of Chinese Students at Yale in the 1870s
About 1870 the Chinese government sent sixty boys to the United States under Yung Wing to study in American high schools and colleges. The youths, bright and accomplished, faced cultural misreads and strict etiquette norms that clashed with American social life.
