“...the Port of Chefoo has been opened for the residence of foreign consuls, missionaries and merchants. Among the earliest missionaries to be identified with the Province of Shantung in general, and with the port of Chefoo in particular, might be mentioned the names of Hartwell, Nevius, Corbett and Williamson.
Dr. Hartwell arrived in Chefoo 1860

Dr. Williamson 1864

Let me quote somewhat extensively from our Chejoo Magazine for April 1924 of the Chefoo Schools Association. Those who were privileged to be present on the occasion of that opening Ceremony will perhaps remember something of the addresses given. If not, I beg to be allowed to give a summary of at least one, as well as a number of facts relating to the furnishing of funds, and the labour and thought expended, which has made this Hall at length an accomplished fact.
Our Chefoo Secretary writes: "All had been hoping and praying for a fine day for the Opening: and one might almost say that the weather...”
