Cheeloo University
In 1902, the American and British missionaries agreed to combine their education ventures in Shandong, and established an arts college () in Weifang, a theological college () in Qingzhou, and a medical college () in Jinan. In 1909, all three colleges were consolidated into Shantung Protestant University () which was later renamed Shantung Christian University (). "Cheeloo University", the school's informal name that had been officially approved by the school council in 1915, was derived from "Qilu", a nickname of Shandong Province coined after the ancient states of Qi (1046 BC-221 BC) and Lu (10th century BC-256 BC) that once existed in the area. Jinan was chosen as the new location for the consolidated university.
