“... to do this.
Another important event which did not occur in Chefoo but is closely connected with its scholars, was the birth of The Chefoo Schools Association. This took place in London. Early in January, 1908, Mr. F. Marcus Wood, Secretary of the China Inland Mission, to whose interest and help the schools owe much, kindly invited several old Chefoo boys to meet for a social gathering. As a result of that meeting four, E. S. Elliston (son of the first
Headmaster), W. D. Mudditt, H. W. Hunt and A. B. Randle met on January 29th, and formed the Chefoo Schools Association. Mr. Mudditt was chosen Chairman and still occupies that position. Mr. Hunt was the first Editor of the Chefoo Magazine. The new Association was warmly welcomed, and its Magazine was published regularly and served as an excellent link between Old Confusians or Chefooites and the School. Details of its Constitution may be seen in the April, 1929, number of Chefoo.
