Who's who of American returned students 遊美同學錄 Part 1

Today I began flipping through this extraorindary book on MTR, Who's who of American returned students 《遊美同學錄》 (Peking: Tsing Hua College, 1917) by G.T. Chao, F.T. Liang, M. Wu. What interested most was not those who came from St. John's University and proceeded to the graduate schools among the Ivy League institutions, but those who received high school education in Hong Kong and returned to China for bachelor degrees, then studied in the U.S.A.
