Great KS-Symposium @NTU Taipei! NTU will turn 100y in 2028 & KUL 600y this year. There are similarities showing kindness w/o borders. After WWII many American colleges donated books to resurrect the library of KUL and NTU donated books to help the resurrection of the university library in Hiroshima!
