“...The Chefoo Magazine 2008 Page 2 EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK This editorial note is short. I only need to remind readers that because this is the 100th anniversary of the Chefoo Schools Association the main feature this year is a special anniversary issue of the Magazine, which accompanies this brief 2008 issue in this year's mailing. That issue is composed entirely of excerpts from the Chefoo Magazine commencing from our founding year, 1908. Consequently this 2008 issue includes recent letters to the editor, news, reunions, and obituaries, plus announcements of a few books by Chefusians that have been published re- cently. Those who submitted articles will, I am sure, appreciate that they will be considered for 2009. Nevertheless, I am sure you will enjoy this small issue as a supplement to the centennial issue. On another note, are you interested in acquiring one or both of Gordon Martin’s books, Chefoo Schools, 1881-1951, and Schoolmaster Errant? See a fuller notation on this on the bottom of page...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine, 2008 Page 3 The latest Chefoo magazine came recently and I am enjoying reading it. I am always amazed that you can keep producing such a treasure of reminiscences about the long ago and far away and make it relevant to the future. My book, China's Millions (see Chefoo Magazine, 2007) has just been reviewed in the Times Literary Supplement, the 9 November issue. That is hitting the jackpot in the literary world, better than the New York Times. Alvyn Austin Thank you, Ian, for bringingthe Chefusians' attention to the review of Alvyn's book in the TLS. What the review brought out is the immense stature now of the evangelical Christian church in China, and for that we have to thank one man more than any other single individual, Hudson Taylor. And all of us who were Chefusians, whether in Chefoo, Kalim-pong, Kiating, Kuling, whose parents served in the CIM, were part of that historical movement. Also Alvyn was the first scholar to start investigating that as an academic...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine, 2008 Page 4 BOOKS RECENTLY PUBLISHED Growing Up in China: Childhood Memories of Philip Raitt McLorn Philip Raitt McLorn, O.C.A.D., was born in Tientsin (now Tiengin), China, where his father was the Postmaster. He entered the Chefoo School in 1940, and spent the War years interned by the Japanese at Chefoo and Weihsien. He arrived in Canada in 1947. On completing high school he attended the Ontario College of Art and graduated in Advertising Design. In conjunction with his professional career as a Graphic Designer and copy writer, Phil has continued to pursue his interest in fine art. He has worked in oils and acrylics, but always returns to water colours. His paintings reflect his appreciation for the country side of life, and his zest for life is clearly evidenced in his joyful use of colour. Whether in France, the southern United States or in his own Ontario village, Phil always brings to his work a reverence for things country, and a genuine appreciation for his...”

“...these books? They are out of print. We have received permission from the Martin family, and are in the process of acquiring electronic copies of the books from the British Library. The books will be printed in Canada, and will be available to purchasers at a price established to simply cover our costs. A final decision will be made by mid-December, to give readers of this magazine time to contact the Editor (see back cover) to express interest. At this time we anticipate that the price of Chefoo Schools, 1881-1954 will cost about CAD$25.00, and Schoolmaster Errant, CAD$15.00.

“...The Chefoo Magazine, 2008 Page 6 NEWS Our son Jamie Erwin is a curator of art at the UCLA Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, and has met many Chinese artists through his work. Our whole family went to China - Chefoo and Huangxian - in 2002, and Jamie was particularly moved by that experience, so much so that he began studying Chinese and has stuck with it for the past 5 years. He has made two more trips there as a Hammer Curator and plans to leave his position at the museum and return to China to live for some time as an adjunct curator with the Hammer and mainly as an independent curator free to travel and organize exhibitions for other museums. He sees that the Chinese art world is literally exploding onto the international art market and auction houses with a "feedingfrenzy" for Chinese art. He knows that many in the Chinese art community are open to the gospel. The American art community is vehemently shut down to any Christian dialogue. He has met artists, curators, and architects in Shanghai...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine, 2008 Page 7 visited. (Her meeting with him, however, was instrumental in his interest in meeting me when I do visit.) One rather interesting development, which will probably impact our project in some way, is that a Chinese business venture has been formed to list Lushan on the Shanghai stock exchange. Their goal is to protect Lushan from overdevelopment, but also to establish an “Aspen”-like destination for both Chinese and foreigners. In doingso, they plan on movingseveral thousand Chinese off the mountain. Alongside these activities, Kim Whitener has identified several prospective funding sources including the Luce Foundation, the Soros Foundation and several smaller funds with specific purposes such as cultural exchange. But before any contact with these groups is initiated, the committee needs to develop a better definition of the Institute’s purpose along with many more specifics on the relationship we will have with the Chinese. So currently, the committee is...”

“...former Chefoo Prep School staff member (1936-1940), Pearl (Galloway) Dobson, who was born within a month of the formation of the Chefoo Schools Association. So 100 was very much on our minds. Pearl cut the birthday cake, and stood up to give a speech for close to 10 minutes. She was also very happy that her son, lain, and grandson, joined her in the celebration. Our special speaker was none other than Dr. Alvin Desterhaft, who came all the way from California. He talked about his memories of Chefoo as a child (1939 to 1943), then showed slides and talked about a visit to Chefoo earlier in the month, on a trip organized by Francis Joyce.

“...continued to subscribe to the magazine because I like so much to read about Chefoo and those associated with it. Joe's brother, Logan, died last month. Although he did not belong to the Association, I thought you might be interested in the information below. Logan - as he was always called - died on February 14, 2008 at the age of 93. He was born in Chefoo, as were his four brothers and sisters. He attended the school while his father was director of the hospital sponsored by the Board of Missions of the Presbyterian Church in Chefoo. He was an outstanding young athlete and scholar. On the family's return to the United States in 1927, he attended high school in western Pennsylvania and went on to the College of Wooster (BA 1935) and Harvard Medical School. After wartime service with the Navy, he practiced medicine in South Bend, Indiana. Logan and his wife joined his older brother and his sisters for a return visit to Chefoo in 1981. He is survived by his three children, seven grandchildren and...”
