100 years in Asia 

Princeton-in-Asia: A Century of Service marks the centennial of a program that evolved from a late 19th-century Christian missionary effort in China to a nonsectarian, nonprofit organization that places 80 students from Princeton and other universities in internships in 10 different Asian nations each year.

The book was written by Melanie Kirkpatrick, a member of the Class of 1973 who went to Tokyo in 1974 with the help of Princeton-in-Asia and later worked for the Asian Wall Street Journal in Hong Kong. It includes essays by alumni on internships in China in the 1910s, Japan in the 1970s, and Kazakhstan and Vietnam in the 1990s, among others. The book is available through the Princeton-in-Asia office at 258-3657 or pia@princeton.edu.
