files of correspondence with Robert and Margrit Mondavi, UC Davis
Chancellor James Meyer and Professor of English Gary Snyder;

chapter drafts (including for unfinished chapters), with
extensive resource materials on such topics as the successful
quest to build a performing arts center and to transform an old
county hospital into a top-flight academic medical center, the
tragic Sea of Cortez boating accident that claimed five
researchers' lives, the controversial transition from Division II

Relations with Taiwan
Scope and Contents
Larry N. Vanderhoef's special ties to Taiwan date back to
his graduate student days at Purdue University and extended
throughout his academic career, aided by a 1987 Eisenhower
Fellowship Award. He led many joint academic collaborations
between universities in Taiwan and the United States, and
taught biology courses in Taiwan in 2011 and 2012. He came to
know two Taiwanese colleagues especially well and maintained
a close relationship with them until his death in 2015:
Chu-Yung (C.Y.) Lin, a postdoc at Purdue when Larry was a
graduate student there; and Chi-Ying Huang, a graduate
student in Larry's lab at the University of Illinois. Both
became respected professors at National Taiwan University.
Larry spent quality time with both during his last trip to
Taiwan in November 2012. Trip records below reflect only his
time as Chancellor Emeritus.
