<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>, Beijing, Nov. 28th, 2005: <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong> President Xu Zhihong<br />

signed a Memorandum <strong>of</strong> Understanding (MOU) with President Richard C. Levin <strong>of</strong> Yale<br />

<strong>University</strong> on a joint project <strong>of</strong> educating undergraduates in Linhuxuan at <strong>Peking</strong><br />

<strong>University</strong> last Saturday.<br />

This joint project is planned to start in the autumn <strong>of</strong> 2006 and will last for three years<br />

with two semesters each year. This is a brand-new mode <strong>of</strong> overseas communication<br />

and cooperation under which Yale will select 20 excellent undergraduates each<br />

semester and they will study and live with students <strong>of</strong> Yuanpei Project at <strong>Peking</strong><br />

<strong>University</strong>. They will be taught by teachers from both universities.<br />

On the other hand, students <strong>of</strong> <strong>PKU</strong> will study in Yale or take courses at <strong>PKU</strong> taught by<br />

teachers from Yale through participating in the ―<strong>PKU</strong>-Yale‖ Summer Cooperation<br />

Project.<br />

<strong>PKU</strong> and Yale <strong>University</strong> have had a long-term close relationship with each other in<br />

pursuing common ideals. This joint project will further promote the friendly relationship<br />

between the two universities and help the development <strong>of</strong> Sino-US relationship through<br />

a new way <strong>of</strong> cooperation between Chinese and American higher education.<br />
