Wing Tsit Chan (1901–1994), born in Kaiping County, Guangdong, was a distinguished American Chinese scholar and expert in Chinese philosophy and religion, focusing on Neo-Confucianism. Educated at Lingnan University and Harvard (PhD, 1929), he served as Dean of Academic Affairs at Lingnan University and was an active member of the Canton Rotary Club during 1929–1936. Chan taught at several institutions including University of Hawaii, Dartmouth College, Chatham College, and Columbia University.
