“...missionary brethren are here specially mentioned with the story of Chefoo through their association with our mission schools in one way or another. Dr. Hartwell's and Dr. Corbett's children attended these schools as pupils, and later five Corbetts and three Hartwells became missionaries. Dr. Williamson had four grandchildren in the school. It was from Dr. Williamson that the C.I.M. obtained their first property to the west of Chefoo. This property was used for medical mission purposes, and later became the first Preparatory school for our missionary children. In reference to Dr. and Mrs. Nevius, it may be stated that it was their kindness and friendship shown to our lady teachers that endeared them to the C.I.M. in those early days.
One authority whom the writer of this article quotes states that 'The first harbour of importance on the northern coast is Chefoo or Yent'ai." Formerly, Chefoo was the centre of the trade with the Liao-Tung Peninsula, which consisted mainly of agricultural products imported...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine
December 1987
Any of our Old Scholars who may in days to come read this article, will remember the Sunday Services held in the Boys’ School for many years. How often we have wished we had more comfortable accommodation for the Boys and Girls, as well as the Parents and Visitors on such occasions. The endless preparation that had to be made for concerts, lectures, services, and for Exhibition Day! The building which was opened on 4th April 1924 certainly seems the solution of so many difficulties and inconveniences which harassed our minds in those days that are past.
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...”

“...Reunion up on Ruling (Lushan) mountain itself in 1991 to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the School's final descent down Ruling in 1951. It is expected that this Ruling Reunion will be part of a very special Chefoo Tour focussing on the post-Yantai Chefoo School experiences. As such, tour visits are also under consideration to such places as Kiating, Kunming, Kalimpong (India), Shanghai, Mokanshan, Hong Kong, and the Cameron Highlands (Chefoo School Malaysia).
Can you help? Any suggestions? While there are indeed a "1,000 steps" between now and then, we are counting on you to help us reach Ruling "mountain-top" in 1991! Please write or telephone (416) 927-8368. Address your correspondence to:
