University of Missouri Graduates Living in Shanghai, 1932

Amazing how many foreign journalists in Shanghai in the interwar years were University of Missouri graduates – Carl Crow too (and details of him and many of these in my book Carl Crow: A Tough Old China Hand) but also others working in newspapers and elsewhere:

• Arthur Bassett – lawyer and District Attorney to the US Court for China at Shanghai
• Gilmore Bradford – representative in the Far East for the Frigidaire Company
• Susan Willard Brown – a doctor (medical) at the Margaret Williamson Hospital, Shanghai
• AU Buschman – I believe was something in finance and banking
• Gustaf Axel Hellstrand – I believe something in mining and metallurgy
• YP Wang – manager of the Shim Pao and China Times
• Victor Keen – correspondent for the New York Herald- Tribune
• JB Powell – editor of the China Weekly Review
• Maurice Votaw – professor of journalism at St. John’s University
• David W Lucas – employee of Standard Oil
• Margaret Cecile Powell – Wife of JB above and writer on the China Weekly Review
• Stuart Robinson Price – not sure – there was a Stuart Price who was a casino operator in the early years of the century and was American but this is a different one I think
• Edgar Snow – Journalist and Red Star Over China author
• Hollington Tong – newspaperman, adviser to Chiang Kai Shek and later Taiwanese Ambassador to Japan and then USA
• Grace May Ware – not sure what she was doing, but was daughter of missionaries
• Pei-Yu Chien – journalist
• Morris Harris – Associated Press Bureau Chief in Shanghai
• Kan Lee – head of publicity for the Chinese Ministry of Finance in the Nationalist government
• Louise Wilson – editor of the Women’s Section of the North-China Daily News
• Thomas Millard – newspaperman, founder of Millard’s Review of the Far East and the China Press, later adviser to the KMT

Fenton, Wong, Tsang, Nicholas and Nee are unfortunately unknown to me – any ideas?
