Just at the time I finished, the Hoover Institution at Stanford was setting up a Chinese language section, so I went to work there, and began a "protracted struggle." I stayed 14 years, leaving only in 1965 to take the job as the director at Harvard-Yenching.
畢業時，剛好史丹福大學的胡佛研究所圖書館要成立中文部，我就到那裡工作，又展開了一場「長期抗戰」﹘ ﹘共待了十四年，直到一九六五年才離開，應邀擔任燕京館長。
