DR. NO-YOUNG PARK



Dr. No-Young Park (Pao), M. A. and Ph. D. of Harvard University, is a recognised authority on Oriental questions, and is one of the most outstanding interpreters of our Far Eastern relations.  His Oriental background, his Occidental training, his keen sense of humor and gift of expression enable him to write and lecture on the subject as few men can.  Some interesting facts regarding him are the following:




While in College he was one of the winners of the International Essay Contest open to all foreign students in American Colleges, the Harris Political Science Prize, given to the students of the leading Universities in the Middle West, and the Pillsbury Oratorical Contest of the University of Minnesota, competing with the American students in ther own language.




At Harvard University he studied history and political science, majoring in international relations.  He wrote his doctorate dissertation on China and the League of Nations.  His other works include:  
Making a New China,
 
An Oriental View of American Civilization,
 and his latest book, to be published shortly, is entitled, 
Retreat of the West.
  The latter is a stirring theme, challenging and thought-provoking; indeed, it is the great theme of the century, explaining the Western retreat from Eastern Asia.




Dr. Park is an accomplished lecturer of international repute, and ranks in the class of the most chosen celebrities of our times.  For more than ten years he has been lecturing at various universities and colleges and civic organizations.  From Maine to Florida, and from New York to California, his message has been heralded as one of the most important that has ever come from the Orient.  His gift of expression, breadth of vision, richness of experience, wealth of information, power of analysis and keen sense of Mark-Twain-like humor make him a very popular speaker in the great cities of America and Canada.

His profound knowledge and understanding of China and its people is supplemented by an extraordinary ability to present complicated facts and situations in clear and simple form.  He approaches even the most controversial subjects with a fairness and detachment which is astounding.  His address, though forceful, is restrained and is continually enlivened by a keen sense of humor and a ready wit.  He is a lecturer of rare ability and charm.

Dr. No-Young Park's appearance before our club was very much enjoyed and appreciated.  His English was excellent, and his wit and eloquence were well matched by his clear presentation of the subject.  His address, spiced with much natural humor, was not only informative, but highly entertaining.

Mrs. Louise Ward Watkins, President Friday Morning Club, Los Angeles




Of the various talks I have heard, his lecture stands out in my mind as one of the clearest and most convincing presentations of the viewpoints of the Chinese people.  He presented the present conditions against the background of culture and tradition which enabled me to catch a fleeting glimpse of the soul of that country.

Two thousand people listened attentively to No-Young Park at the Florida Forum yesterday and he made two thousand friends for China.  With keen, brilliant logic and naive wit he entertained while he informed.  Come again No-Young Park, emissary of goodwill.
