George Wang Remembers His Brother, Dr. Joseph C.P. Wang ’52 by George Wang Approximately 80 friends and relatives of the late Dr. Joseph C.P. Wang ’52 gathered in Potomac, Md. on Oct. 21, 2007 (the eve of what would have been his 79th birthday) to memorialize his life. Dr. Wang’s niece, Nina Wang Bice, welcomed guests and gave opening remarks, and Dr. Jonathan Chaves of George Washington University read a poem in Dr. Wang’s memory, reciting it in both Chinese and English. Rev. G. William Finch of St. Raphael Catholic Church in Rockville, Md. presided over the service. In 1949, Dr. Wang left China to study in the United States. He studied English literature at Gannon University, receiving a bachelor’s degree in 1952. He continued to study English literature at New York University, and upon graduation, moved to the Washington, D.C. area, where he would work for the United States Information Agency and Voices of America (VOA) for more than 30 years. In 1963, he taught Chinese at George Washington University and American University, marking the first time both universities offered such courses. Over the course of his career, he published several books, including The Origin and Development of 500 Chinese Characters. In December 2006, Gannon presented Dr. Wang with a Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa. Dr.Wang passed away on April 1, 2007.
