<< review queue entry 31701 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> I can't find support for "mistake made by 胡適|胡适[Hu2 Shi4]". Would he really make a mistake like that? "HU SHI, CORNELL CLASS OF 1914, may be counted among the most important alumni Cornell University has ever produced; some say he is the most important of all. Yet there still remains a discrepancy between name and recognition, between historical impact and local Ithaca lore." ---- http://www.tianya.cn/publicforum/content/english/1/59369.shtml On September 20, 1915, Hu Shi left Ithaca. He felt reluctant to leave and affectionately wrote in his diary: I once called Ithaca my “second home" ... ---- http://mesharpe.metapress.com/index/314782q72104p147.pdf BTW, 綺 is pronounced "yi" (not "qi") in Cantonese. This assertion about a "mistake" dates back to the "Initial Import" from the old CEDICT. |
