John Dewey was an American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer who taught at Columbia as a professor for 25 years. His thoughts had a great influence on later generations and he himself also had rich experiences in China. In 1919, Dr. Dewey successively lectured in Beijing, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Shanghai, and Guangzhou to spread the idea of democracy and science in China. His students, Hu Shih and Tao Xingzhi, served as his interpreters.
