Thesis (Ph.D.)--Case Western Reserve University, 1995.

This study examines the Rockefeller Foundation's medical program in China in the following contexts: (1) missionary education in China since the second half of the 19th century; (2) medical education reform and the professionalization movement in philanthropy in early 20th-century America; (3) the Chinese new intellectuals' modern reform efforts; and (4) the Chinese government's political agenda. Through its medical programs, the Foundation sought to export scientific knowledge and methods in a scientific institution--the American research-based medical school. The Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) serves as a prism to study the diverse spectrum of ideas and approaches, American and Chinese, involved in the development of educational and social reform in modern China; these ideas and approaches are interpreted in their respective historical contexts, with hopes of increasing the understanding of cultural exchange programs in general.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study examines the Rockefeller Foundation's medical program in China in the following contexts: (1) missionary education in China since the second half of the 19th century; (2) medical education reform and the professionalization movement in philanthropy in early 20th-century America; (3) the Chinese new intellectuals' modern reform efforts; and (4) the Chinese government's political agenda. Through its medical programs, the Foundation sought to export scientific knowledge and methods in a scientific institution--the American research-based medical school. The Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) serves as a prism to study the diverse spectrum of ideas and approaches, American and Chinese, involved in the development of educational and social reform in modern China; these ideas and approaches are interpreted in their respective historical contexts, with hopes of increasing the understanding of cultural exchange programs in general.
520 $a There was no single voice in the Rockefeller Foundation's program in China; missionaries and American professionals were the most influential. While the missionaries inspired the Foundation's interest in China, their opinion of medical science often clashed with the Foundation's scientific philanthropy. On the other hand, in the early 20th century, professionals, particularly medical professionals, profoundly influenced the foundations' policy-making. An international version of the Foundation's domestic scientific philanthropy, the PUMC was based on the notion that science along with institutional development was a powerful dynamic for social progress and reform.
520 $a The Rockefeller Foundation's effort to change China intertwined with reforms promoted by key Chinese leaders. This study analyzes an important aspect of China's modern reform: the development of scientific direction. The Foundation's scientific approach converged with the Chinese new intellectuals' campaign for science and their criticism of the old culture and traditional medicine. The PUMC was the Foundation's response to certain Chinese intellectuals, most with Western educational backgrounds, who favored gradual reform and Western ideas. Through medical programs and other work, the Foundation established a mutually trusting and mutually influential relationship with this elite group. Their support of the PUMC laid a foundation for this intercultural program; however, limited knowledge of China's reality and bias against Chinese rural problems circumscribed the Rockefeller Foundation's perspective of China's reality.
