The attached graphs examine the universities in which Chinese Rotarians trained in the United States pursued their studies (we selected only the institutions in which they obtained their highest academic degree). Data comes from the series of Who's Who available through the Integrated Information System on Modern and Contemporary Characters (IISMCC) hosted by the Academia Sinica’s Institute of Modern History. The tables used for building the graphs are available in the "Tables" Section. 

Among the forty-one US-trained Rotarians, one-third (13) was graduated from Columbia University, followed by the University of Pennsylvania (6 graduates). The next group comprises six elite universities that trained two Chinese each - Harvard, Lehigh (Pennsylvania), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Chicago, Michigan and Yale. The remaining Rotarians were scattered across other elite universities - Cornell, Johns Hopkins, New York, Princeton, Cincinnati, Texas Agricultural and Mechanical College, University of Cincinnati, of Illinois, and Jones Commercial College (Chicago). Interestingly, there was one representative from the early Chinese Educational Mission (1872-1881), namely Y.C. Tong (the first Chinese to join the Rotary Club of Shanghai in 1920), who upon his return to China served in the late Qing Telegraph Administration. In sum, most Shanghai Rotarians were educated in top-ranking American universities, mostly on the Eastern coast of the United States. Only one member received a private education at home - a residual practice of imperial educational system.
