1857-1927 Gilbert Reid Missionary reformer in China, founder of Mission among the Higher Classes in China. ...The MHCC, later called the International Institute of China, was officially sanctioned by the government in 1897 and influenced significantly the Chinese reformers of 1898. Failure of the reform movement and the Boxer uprising caused Reid to move the MHCC to newly erected facilities in Shanghai, where it was approved both by the Manchu government in 1909 and the new republic in 1914. In this new setting the MHCC promoted the values of Western civilization and better understanding between Westerners and Chinese." [SOURCE: Covell, Ralph R. "Reid, Gilbert."
