In ancient Chinese classrooms , student sat on backless stools at small wooden tables. The replicas at which our party are seated are the work of Carl Mather, an artist and carpenter who teaches at the Oxford English Academy. Because of its spacious and traditional atmosphere, the Kongzi Academy was chosen for the signing ceremony (below) between Oxford Academy and ETSU. There are also plans for collaboration between ETSU and the Oxford Academy. The signing was a glorious and festive day, attended by scholars, education officials, and members of the Chinese press. The building was decorated with red lanterns and yellow dragons. In the second photo below a sign welcomes ETSU.
