Yun Ch'i-ho (1864-1945), Korean Methodist minister and teacher, converted to Christianity at the Anglo-Chinese College operated by Young John Allen (1887). Allen arranged for Yun to become a theology student at Vanderbilt University (1881-1891). Yun transferred to Emory College (1891-1893) and visited rural churches during the summers to help raise money to support his educational endeavors. Extra money was entrusted to Emory's President Warren A. Candler for the establishment of a Methodist Church in Korea. Yun returned to Korea, was involved in political activism, then he devoted himself to Christian work. He established the Anglo-Korean School at Songdo (1906).
