Note on Translations

In 2013, Nien Lin Xie from Dartmouth College, Julie Wang from Binghamton University and Ding Ye from Georgetown University collaborated to translate Tenney's paper into Chinese. This project was completed in 2015 and the Chinese version was added alongside the original Tenney's papers, with an introduction written by Professor Pamela Crossley from the History Department at Dartmouth College and a Chronology of Tenney compiled by Julie Wang. The translators are identified in individual chapters in Chinese.
