When the Binghamton University Libraries Special Collections was preparing an exhibit titled"Glenn G.Bartle:His Life and Legacy"in 2018,a medal for merit caught the author's attention.The award was issued by the National Government of China for Bartle's service in World War Ⅱ as the Director of the Naval Training Program.Bartle is the founder and first president of the University,but we knew little about his connection to the War of Resistance of China.Intensive research led the author to a piece of fascinating history—the Navy V-12 Training Program and the"China Naval Unit".As the story unfolds,this almost forgotten history helps us better understand President Bartle's desire to introduce elite education standards into public education.His relationship with the"China Naval Unit"is a warm and touching episode in modern Sino-US relations.
