In 1880 Dr. John Kenneth Mackenzie (1850-1888), a medical missionary associated with the London Missionary Society, opened a small hospital in Tianjin with the approval of Viceroy Li Hongzhang. In 1881, learning of the decision to recall the CEM, Mackenzie recommended to Li that eight of the returning students be assigned to the medical school which he wished to establish at the hospital. (Seven CEM students are known to have entered: listed Rhoads [2011], pp. 190-194, Table 11.1.) With Li’s compliance, the school opened in December 1881 under Mackenzie’s direction, becoming the first medical school authorized by the Chinese government. See Bryson (1891), pp. 229-230. Cf. Shi (2000), p. 202; Rhoads (2011), pp. 198-199.
