College circles .are much, interested in the arrival last Saturday of a,real live Chinaman# direct from the Orient, who has cpme to study in the local bit- stitution, The name1of the young mdn is Chang Long Chu. He sailed from Shanghai,-China, on the steam­ ship. Korea, on October 8th, arriving in. San Francisco, October 3lst. -After visiting friends in the latter-city-and in Chicago, he came to Cedarville, Cedarville College was recommended to him by his Chinese teacher, Mr, G. S. O, Chen# who is now living and lecturing in China. The latter is ah old college friend of Professor Allen. Mr, Chu eventually expects to take a full course in engineering and then return to "his own country to pursue his profession, but first washes to get a thorough acquaintance with the English language. ~ e appears to be a bright and, intelligent young man and is highly educated. He graduated in 1910 from Hangchow Christian Col­ lege, a Presbyterian institution, after a nine-year ‘ preparatory college course. He then taught mathemat­ ics and physics In a Baptist mission­ ary academy, and for the past four years has been employed by the Standard Oil Company in China. Mr. onu is the first Chinaman to enter the College. He has been warmly welcomed by the faculty and students and will receive the best at­ tention and instruction, jue must sup­ port himself b^ his own labor and is willing to perform any honest, work. If there are any in the community who can give him employment, either permanent o r temporary, they will be doing good Christian work, and will confer a favor upon the college au­ thorities by • reporting to Dr. Me* Chesney or Professor Allen.« CEDARVILLE LECTURE COURSE, Dr. Mile** Anti-Pain Fills <*r an See How Rubbers Are Made!
