“...of May in 1988. Doesn't every Chefoo editor dream of retreat to this hallowed promontory to escape the arrows of all those readers who insist on receiving their magazine on time! Surprised? Me too! But I did indeed clamber out over the seaweed and shells and stones and sand to reach Bottle Rock and happily was able to persuade (by means of the most obvious sign language) a local clam collector to pick up the camera I had left below and take my picture poised triumphantly on the top for posterity (and the Magazine!).If the Rock (or I) appear a bit strange, well, I believe he did tilt the apparatus a touch. How I did revel and exult in the privilege of passing five whole days in Chefoo, the original Chefoo, at Yantai and then one day at Weihsien (Weifang) in Shantung province in China early in May of this year. A report, you ask? Well, you may be sure that my story will creep into the Mag in time as 1 gradually digest the 400 photos and slides I took of Chefoo and the 100 of Weihsien. Of course...”

“...guest, in Chefoo (Yantai) and Weihsien (Weifang) of the Shantung Tourist Board and the China International Travel Service of Yantai. Special thanks must go to Mrs Maria Flannery, President of Conference Travel of Canada and an Associate C.S.A. Member, who sparked the idea that made my "Chefoo Week" a reality. 1 must add that, while official military permission was not received to visit the former C.I.M. School Compound in Chefoo, the courtesies extended and efforts made by the People's Political Consultative Conference and the Yantai Chamber of Commerce, on my behalf and that of the C.S.A., towards that eventual goal, were very much appreciated. How honoured I felt, on behalf of every member of the C.S.A., to be so warmly welcomed, as Editor of a magazine that has borne these 80 years the title "Chefoo", by that very city from which we have adopted the name. No one can be a Chefusian, no matter where their Chefoo School may be, and not be aware or even proud that their "Chefoo" had first...”

“...The Chejoo Magazine June 1988 Chinese former resident of Yantai, for Moses Chu grew up in Yantai and well remembers the Chefoo Schools there. Many of you will have, 1 am sure, noted not only that the C.S.A Dolphin and Seal on the front cover is printed in red but that there is a strikingly fresh clarity and neatness about our Association's "logo." Our thanks go to Helen (Hulse) Fox for having so beautifully "re-constituted" our official C.S.A. emblem. Helen had pointed out just how fuzzy it had become somehow over the years, and so I am pleased that she has agreed to continue to keep an "aesthetic" eye on the Magazine as Art Director for future issues. How proudly I was able to say "thank you" on behalf of the Magazine and Association for the help and many kindnesses extended to me during my stay in Chefoo by giving several of these re-vitalized dolphins and seal handsomely packaged and coloured for presentation by Helen. Before I embarked on the plane for Shanghai, I had carefully noted...”

“...June 1988 The Chefoo Magazine MARY L.C. NICOLL — C.S.A. VICE-PRESIDENT The Association is pleased to announce that Miss Nicoll has agreed to become an honorary Vice-President of the Association. Mary has been an active C.S.A. Member for over 50 years, virtually from the day she left Chefoo in 1930 after having spent 10 years there as a day scholar. Eventually Mary was called of God to rejoin the Chefoo School as a teacher, but was unable to reach the School up on Ruling mountain before it was closed in 1951. However, in that same year, she was ready and able to take on the responsibility of being the first teacher of Chefoo School in Japan. During the next 22 years, Mary headed up the staff and taught at various periods in the Chefoo Schools in Japan, Malaysia and the Philippines. Even now, in retirement in Three Hills, Alberta, Canada, her interest, love, and prayers reach out to touch the lives of Chefusians from all the Chefoos she has known. We echo the thanks of Chefusians from around...”

“...an excellent zoo. Many resort places and new institutions and industries have spread on and on toward the east and up the hills behind the city. To the west, a Development Zone is under way where factories and industries are opening with housing to provide for 80,000 persons. Yantai has an arena, a coliseum, and many, many schools. An Arts Festival was held last fall with varied and exciting programs of music, theater, and great artists from Shanghai and Beijing. The mayor of Yantai gave a dinner for all the foreigners in the area. He launched a program welcoming foreign investment in the Development Zone of Yantai Municipality which is not just the port of Zhifu (Chefoo). It comprises twelve whole counties and two other 6...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine June 1988 ports, Wei hai and Lung ko! One of its special prides is the growing town of Mu Ping east of the university on the way to Wei hai. Here there are "rich farmers" who have been able to build fine, two-storied homes, a large hotel, and their own schools since starting many free enterprises that have succeeded remarkably well. Of course, they must first supply the government with its quota of grain and other products of their fields. Beyond Muping a viaduct leads to the island where tradition says that Chin Shih Huang, China's first emperor, who had the Great Wall built, grazed his horses. There is a sculptured horse monument on the island, Yang Ma Dao, at the end of the drive across the water. A horse-racing track with grandstand has been built. Beach dressing rooms, a restaurant, and nearby hotels anticipate the island's becoming a flourishing resort. Yantai itself has the refreshing summer-time climate, the sea breezes, and swimming possibilities that promote...”

I also visited the Temple Hill (Yu Huang Ding) area where the Presbyterian compound was made the internment camp where they were held along with the Chefoo School children and teachers during World War II. Father served as camp Pastor to the "Chefooites" before leaving for repatriation to the U.S.A Toward the end of my time at Yantai University, a special excitement was the arrival of a tour group of 26 persons, 15 of whom were family members of mine! Among them were the stepsons of my sister Trudy (Gertrude at Chefoo; she couldn't make the trip because of a fractured knee!) and my brother, Biyan Glass, with his wife and two daughters, as well as my own son and daughter who never had a Chefoo experience themselves because they were too young when we left Shandong, but they were certainly interested in seeing it. All that Chefoo meant to me can never be taken from me. The discipline and restrictions of our school life taught me many lessons. Our teachers' strictness had its values...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine June 1988 Elizabeth Jacob Marble [1933-36] (San Diego, California) It's all still there - the bay, the bluffs, Temple Hill, the wonderful beaches, even the C.I.M. buildings, now seen through iron fences. At the same time, much of the Chefoo I knew in the 1930s has been replaced by five-storey buildings (and taller), broad, tree-lined avenues with wide bicycle lanes on both sides, traffic lights, young people in smart Western dress, and never-say-die truck drivers who are plainly as competitive as their ancestors, the rickshaw pullers we knew. Last September four in my family joined a San Diego-Yantai Sister City delegation to spend parts of five days as guests of our counterpart organization in Yantai. Our family group included my sister, Mary Jacob Ingram, her son, Chip, my daughter, Ruth, and myself. Since the Yantai airport is being enlarged to accommodate heavy planes, we landed in Qingdao (the Tsingtao of my youth), and boarded an air-conditioned minibus to cross...”

[Actually it is the Doctor's House that remains; the School Hospital was recently demolished when the road was widened and the curve, at that point, elongated and flattened somewhat. -:FRJ] Due to the downward slope, I couldn't see the hockey field, the B.D. [Business Department], or the Co-Ed building where we had "Classes With Boys" (!) after the new building made such a merger possible. Up and over the ridge that separated the part of Chefoo I had known from the sparsely inhabited area beyond we found ourselves in an area rapidly filling with multi-level apartment buildings and hotels. Yantai is spilling out toward the east (and south and west too!). Through iron gates we passed into the garden grounds of the Zhi-fu Hotel. As always, we were greeted by a row of beaming hotel attendants in trim uniforms, and were soon in our fifth-floor room which looked out over the beach [Fourth Beach -:FRJ] and bay. No time for the view, however...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine June 1988 where I had my first encounter with sea slugs ("sea cucumbers" sounds more appetizing, but not even that was enough to enable most of our group to manage to get them down. Finding I was one of the few who could. I sort of became the official sea-slug-eater for courtesy's sake!). I was fortunate to be seated between an affable city official and an interpreter, so we were able to maintain a pretty good conversation. In the midst of round after round of toasts, he made a graceful salute to my mother, who is ninety-seven, and to my aunt, who is one hundred and two. Everywhere people paused to marvel at my aged relatives. The next three days were a marathon of visits to factories and schools, a model fishing village and a huge, self-contained economic development complex, temples that are now museums — all sites chosen to show the city that Yantai is becoming. Of course the places had been carefully selected, but everywhere I felt a great sense of pride in China's...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine Jane 1988 along a paved, tree-lined road that brought us into the western suburb in less than two hours. Because Pingdu is not yet open to tourists, we had to stop for an official escort — four uniformed gentlemen to ensure that not one of the four of us wandered off to look-see! They had keys to the church, now a community meeting hall, and to the hospital compound, where both the missionary home and the hospital buildings are unoccupied. My father had lived in this house with Dr Yocum and Miss Caldwell for several months in 1942 before they were transferred to the internment camp at Weihsien. Our escorts explained that the structures are not usable because of earthquake damage; but with land so needed for housing, why do these buildings stand empty and silent? I didn't press my luck with questions. Our hosts did tell us that the tombstone of Mr Sears, one of the pioneers of Baptist work in Pingtu, stands now in the municipal museum with a plaque honoring his meritorious...”

Thereupon, he decided to give up his studies and to set out on his journey to China. During his early years in that land, he confined his work to the region of the lower basin of the Yangtze River and then from there to the interior. Twelve years later, he formed a new organization called the China Inland Mission. At first his financial support came mainly from England, but he gradually found additional sources in other English-speaking countries, including Canada and the United States. This youth was none other than James Hudson Taylor, known widely as the...”

“...Chinese city. Therefore, opportunity would not be given to those who might allege that the C.I.M. School continued to create elites for "invading China" in the economic or cultural fields. In one word, the C.I.M. School was a genuine English school merely established on Chinese soil. During the early period, the school was. known to Chefoo residents as the Boys' School and the Girls' School, with very strict regulations for the students. The Preparatory School was coeducational. Generally it was called the C.I.M. School, known to the Chinese as the school founded by the China Inland Mission. It was not until the late 1940s that the school was renamed the Chefoo School, not too long before the mission ceased to function in China. 16...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine June 1988 The new name was given in order to acknowledge the fact that the school was originally established in Chefoo and to recognize its excellent educational system, solid foundation, fine traditions and reputation. The graduates have been called "Chefuslans" for a long time. For many decades, the graduates have maintained the "Chefoo Schools Association" with four branches located around the world: North America, Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand. It is estimated that, since the school was founded one century ago, the total enrolment has perhaps reached 10,000 [Note 2], of whom there could have been as many as 2,500 taking part in the Oxford Examinations. In 1961 at a government function, when 1 was working in Dar-es-Salaam, the capital of colonial Tanganyika, on the eve of the formation of an African self-ruling government, the first step towards independence, I first met the Minister for Agriculture, Mr. Bryson. As soon as he found out that I came from...”

“... Are limited in view. To us it's more important than London and New York too! Really, we don't see how you can Be asking, "Where's Chefoo?" Though small upon the map, you scan The spot that marks Chefoo, Within the heart of many a man And many a woman too. It's larger in proportion than A Continent or two. And when we reach life's rubicon And take a backward view. There'll be few memories that can Outshine those of Chefoo! The C.l.M. School administration showed sympathy and fraternity towards the Chinese people in a very open and practical way during the Sino-Japanese War. Disputes which occurred in Chosen (Korea) led to the attack of the Japanese armed forces on China in 1894. Following the defeat of the Chinese Navy, the forts in Weihaiwei fell into the hands of the Japanese. During the winter (Januaiy 1895), defeated and wounded soldiers entered Chefoo on foot passing by the C.l.M. School. The school administration decided to open the school chapel and other buildings and turned them...”

“...in Chefoo. Before World War II, the total circulation of his three magazines was nearly seven million, excluding all the foreign editions. In accordance with a 1961 statistical survey: 1) over 94% of the U.S. citizens over 12 years of age knew of Henry Luce and his enterprise: 2) of every three U.S. families, one was the subscriber to a Luce publication; 3) and, in non-political circles, Luce was as widely known as Henry Ford. Winston Churchill once said that Henry Luce was one of the seven celebrities of this century in the United States. Of all non-politicians in the history of the United States, I believe that none has affected domestic and world affairs as much as Henry Luce. He died in 1967 of heart failure at the age of 69. The love of one's motherland and alma mater is a normal human emotion. All tourist groups visiting Chefoo have probably included or will likely include a few former graduates, or the children of the graduates, or even former students who attended the Chefoo Schools...”

Editor's Note 1: Actually, only about 100 students were to remain interned in Weihsien, the rest not having returned for the school year, or having remained away after the Christmas break, or having been repatriated or sent to join their parents at other camps. Editor's Note 2: A better projection, using available figures, places an absolute maximum of 5,000 students enrolled over the full 108 years. To have reached 10,000 total Chefusians, there would have been an average of 100 new students each year for 100 years.
