({{zh|c={{linktext|郭|显|德}}|p={{linktext|Guō |Xiǎn|dé}}}}; December 8, 1835 – January 7, 1920) was a pioneer[1] American missionary to Chefoo (Zhifu芝罘区, now Yantai), Shandong China, he served with the American Presbyterian Mission.[2][3] He was a fervent advocate of the missionary enterprise. He founded the Yi Wen School at Tengchow (also known as Boy's Academy / Hunter Corbett Academy Tengchow)[1] afterward converted into an institution of higher education as Cheeloo University in 1928. It was the first university in China.[4] Early lifeHunter Corbett was born to Ross Mitchell Corbett and Fannie Culbertson (Orr) Corbett on December 8, 1835 in Clarion County, Pennsylvania, USA. He graduated from Jefferson College in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania (now Washington & Jefferson College) in 1860.[5] and from Princeton Theological Seminary. With his first wife, Elizabeth "Lizzie" Culbertson, he sailed for China in 1863. China MissionAfter a six-month voyage around the Cape of Good Hope and shipwreck off the China coast, they finally arrived at Chefoo (Yantai) in the middle of winter, 1863. After several years in Dengzhou (P'eng-lai, or Tengchow), they established a permanent residence at Chefoo and began evangelistic work. Along with colleagues Calvin Wilson Mateer and John Nevius, Corbett developed the methodology that would plant the gospel in the soil of northern China and make Shandong the strongest Presbyterian mission in China. Wide itineration throughout the countryside, rather than concentrated efforts in the cities, was the main feature of the Shandong plan. Corbett was described as an "Indefatigable Itinerator," and he traveled over the whole province by horse, mule cart, and foot. Added to his travel difficulties were incidents in which he was reviled and stoned. In 1886 Washington and Jefferson College awarded him an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree.[6] Corbett believed in using unconventional methods. He rented a theater and converted the back rooms into a museum stocked with objects of interest from around the world. After a service, the museum doors would be opened. In 1900, about 72,000 people listened to his preaching and visited the museum. A crowning achievement was the organization and development of Shandong Presbytery. By the year of Corbett's death, there were 343 organized churches and chapels throughout the province, with more than 15,000 communicant members. In 1906 he was elected Moderator of the General Assembly,[7] the central governing body of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America or reformed church.[8] Hunter Corbett ministered in China for 56 years. He died in Chefoo (now Yantai), China on 7 January 1920. LegacyHis 3rd wife and widow, Helen Sutherland Corbett, died in 1936.[9] In 1907 his daughter, Grace Corbett married Ralph C. Wells (1877–1955).[10] In 1908 his daughter, Jane Lea Corbett married John Lawrence Goheen. BooksAuthor: Hunter Corbett
