On 25 September 2003, the Huo-Hsi Pan collection of engineering texts was officially dedicated in the library of Tianjin University of Technology. The family of the late Professor Pan, an accomplished U.S. engineering professor who was born in China, donated the entire collection of his engineering texts to PEN-International so that these volumes might be used by the men and women of China training to be engineers.
Officiating at the ceremony was President of the University Board and Party General Secretary Lei. Dr. DeCaro represented PEN-International and the Pan family.
