"John Fryer, The First Agassiz Professor of Oriental Languages and Literature, Berkeley"
by Doris Sze Chun

 

President Daniel Coit Gilman, in his 1872 inaugural address, stressed the idea of the necessity for California to look westward across the Pacific, and in 1872 the first major gift to the university was an endowed chair in Oriental languages and literature. Since those early days internationalism has been a part of the University of California.
