“...the trip this past summer to China, sponsored by the Chefoo Schools Association. We visited all the sites of the Chefoo Schools in China, the first, and probably the last such trip, ever. A total of 26 people participated, with a core of 22 of us who took in the entire trip. Special thanks to Rob Joyce ('Francis' reverted to 'Rob' for this trip, the name he went by at Shanghai and Kuling), who teamed up with a superb China national guide, Eric Liu, to pack a lot into a fairly brief time, yet everything went very smoothly. Eric in turn selected a first rate team of local guides, most of whom are probably as good as one could get if visiting China. To top it off, the people who joined the tour were very cordial, patient, generous, and enthusiastic - you simply could not have put together a more amenable group if they had all been hand-picked, which they weren't. It was a wonderful tribute to the Chefoo Schools Association, to Rob and Eric, our local guides, all the participants, and to China...”

“...community, and it is attracting close to two million Chinese tourists each year. So they don't mind 'Kuling', and have even established a prominent monument at the Gap (i.e. 'downtown'), using this name. Speaking of Chinese names, if you were a student at Kuling, do you remember the big house that some of the staff lived in at the top of the property, with the Chinese THE NAMING OF KULING Excerpt from "The Story of Kuling", by Edward S. Little Published by request of the Chinkiang Literary Association, 1899 The name of the highest peak opposite the entrance or gap is Ku-niu-lin or Bull Peak. The valley along which the bungalows are built is called the Chang-ch'ung or the Long Valley. I did not like any of these names, so I gave the estate a new name, calling it Kuling and making it the Chinese form of the English word cooling, so that the name might describe its destined use. The place was hoped to be one for the cooling off of over-heated foreigners. It was a name, too, that Chinese who...”

The Institute was first inspired by the Kuling American School Association (KASA) in 2005 when they held a reunion at Lushan. They had kindly invited members of the Chefoo Schools Association (CSA) to join them, and five people who had been at the Chefoo School at Kuling attended. After considerable work and negotiations the Institute was born as a partnership between KASA, the Lushan government, and Nanjing University. The second July session was held this year, and four people associated with the Chefoo Schools participated. They were Helen (Simpkin) Joynt of Australia and her husband Robert, Helen's sister Dorothy Simpkin from Great Britain, and Ken Grant (this Magazine editor's younger brother) who lived in the OMF hostel in Alberta in the 1950s...”
