"Dear Roanoke College,

We are university researchers at the Visual Sociology and Museum Studies Lab at the Cyprus University of Technology and we are currently researching the ways people pose in front of popular tourist attractions. Your photographs of the Great China Wall were among the few photographs, which were chosen as ideal photographic examples for this research. All the photographs used for the purposes of this research are public images and the people presented in the photograph are anonymous."
