Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Educational System of China as Recently Reconstructed In the beginning students were selected only from the Manchus or from Chinese families who had been adopted by the conquerors of the Mings in 1644. Later on the doors of the college were opened to members of the Hanlin Academy, but these supreme scholars of China scorned to sit at the feet of the west, and being supported by the president of the academy, who was also the Emperor's teacher, they haughtily refused to become members of the college. Unable to secure students from the higher literati, they had to be content with recruits of lower degree.
