Biographical History

Mansie (Jingping) Chew, eldest daughter of Ng Poon Chew, attended the University of California, Berkeley (entering class of 1913) was a professional pianist and took over the position of English language editor of the Chinese language paper, Chung Sai Yat Po, after the death of her father in 1931.

Edward Faber Schneider (1872-1950) was a teacher, pianist, and composer. He received his early musical training at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California and with Louis Lisser in San Francisco. Later he studied with Xavier Scharwenka in New York (piano and composition), and Karl Heinrich Barth (piano) in Berlin. In 1901 Schneider joined the music faculty at Mills College and held the post until 1919.

Dr. Ng Poon Chew (March 14, 1866-March 13, 1931) was an author, publisher, and advocate for Chinese American civil rights. He was first Chinese student to graduate from San Francisco Theological Seminary (Presbyterian, class of 1892) and published the first Chinese language daily newspaper to be printed outside of China, Chung Sai Yat Po, published in San Francisco from Feb. 1900 to 1951. Known as "the father of Chinese journalism in American" and "the Chinese Mark Twain," he lectured widely. He had four daughters, Mansie (Jingping), Effie (Yuqing), Rose (Dongmei), and Caroline (Qionglan).

Caroline (Qionglan) Chew, also known as Dancer Caroline Chew, learned to dance from Chinese and American dancers after graduating from Mills College where she studied music and composition.
