Excerpt from Overseas Chinese Nationalism: The Genesis of the Pan-Chinese Movement in Indonesia, 1900 1916 In England Dr. Victor Purcell, the leading British authority on overseas Chinese, gave generously of his time and advice. In this country there are many to whom the writer is much indebted Foremost among these are the officers of the Center for International Studies of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who underwrote the research; Professors John K. Fairbank, Rupert Emerson, and Douglas L. Oliver of Harvard University; Dr. Hedwig Schleiffer, who made available her special knowledge of research methods and bibliography; and my wife, whose encouragement and support were as always without stint. Many people contributed to the writing of this study, but its errors and mis interpretations are solely those of the writer.
