WM. THEODORE de BARY MEMORIAL SERVICE

The memorial service for Wm. Theodore de Bary, former Provost of the University, noted Columbia educator, Sinologist, and alumnus, will be held on Thursday October 5th, at 5:00 p.m. in St. Paul’s Chapel, Columbia University, followed by a reception at 6:30PM in the CV Starr East Asian Library.

Please join us in celebrating his life and work with Professor de Bary’s family and colleagues. No RSVP is required, but please arrive early as seating is limited. Those requiring accessibility assistance to Campus level should use elevator by the Dodge Hall.
