Lifan Yuan
The Eluosi Wenguan (俄羅斯文舘 "Russian College") was set up by the Qing Dynasty Lifan Yuan in 1708, due to the importance of Russia as a security threat to Qing-dynasty China's north-west border. Its students were selected from the Eight Banners. There were twenty-four students for each grade level, and they were examined every five years. The Russian college was merged into the Tongwen Guan in 1863.
