Profile—Robert mcmullan
Robert McMullan, or Bob as he is known to our Toronto Chefoo community, has a Chefoo history like few others. He was born and raised at Chefoo by a prominent local family with deep roots both in missions, and in business. Apart from a couple of teen years in England to attend a school designed to train him to be a proper Englishman, with a proper British accent, that was rudely terminated at the outbreak of World War in Europe, he attended the Chefoo School as a day student. Upon completion of his schooling he left China in 1941, avoiding...”

Thornton Wilder: A Life
by Penelope Niven HARPERCOLLINS PUBLISHERS | October 22, 2012
Thornton Wilder was a student of the Chefoo School (1911-1912). His early life at the School is mentioned and elaborated on.
From the back cover: "Art is confession; art is the secret told.... But art is not only the desire to tell one's secret; it is the desire to tell it and hide it at the same time. And the secret is nothing more than the whole drama of the inner life." -Thornton Wilder.
Thornton Wilder: A Life, the first biography of the playwright and novelist since 1983, is also the first to be based on thousands of pages of letters, journals, manuscripts, and other documentary evidence of Wilder's life, work...”

“...Peartree Restaurant on Parliament Street. There was insufficient room in the 2012 issue of this Magazine to include the interview because so much of that issue was taken up with the 2012 Chefoo Schools Association tour to each of the locations of the Chefoo School in China. The interview for the Magazine this year is a bit more extensive than the Toronto reunion interview, and it also includes two contextual essays, one being an overview of the remarkable McMullan family in Shandong, and the other a brief overview of WWII, with special emphasis on the South West China theatre. These short essays are followed by Bob's interview.

CHEFOO SCHOOLS
