胡美带着建立医科大学的梦想,接受雅礼会委派来到中国。他参与筹建和管理的湘雅医学专门学校是第一所由中美合作创办的高等医学教育机构。由于必须照顾到中美双方的意愿,这所学校有着不同于当时一般教会学校和中国自办教育机构的办学特点。这所合办学校在医学教育与学生人格培养方面所取得的成绩,事实上也影响了胡美的办学理念,使他在出任雅礼协会总干事时,试图在一定程度上借鉴湘雅模式,对雅礼协会的自办教育事业进行改革,以适应当时中国民族主义高涨的形势。他的设想包括由中国基督徒控制雅礼以消除其属于外国机构的标签,在雅礼取消强制性的宗教课程与宗教仪式,加强雅礼与中国本土文化及中国社会的融合等。胡美与他的雅礼同事都强调维持雅礼对宗教信仰的重视,但由于对民族主义影响下中国人收回教育权运动的时代潮流认识不同,在如何达成这一目标上,他们无法取得一致。由于分歧太大,胡美对雅礼的改革建议没有被雅礼董事会接受,雅礼协会也失去了继续掌握主动的最后机会,其在华教育事业不久即被迫中断。
Hume took the dream of establishing a medical university and accepted the accreditation of Yale-China to China. The Xiangya Medical School which he participated in preparing and managing was the first higher medical education institution co-founded by China and the United States. Due to the need to take care of the wishes of both China and the United States, the school has characteristics of running a school different from those of general church-run schools and self-run educational institutions in China. The achievements made by this joint school in medical education and student personality cultivation have in fact also affected Hu Mei’s concept of running a school so that when he assumed the position of Director-General of the Yale-China Association, he tried to learn from the Xiangya model to a certain extent. Yale-China’s self-running education undertook reforms to adapt to the upsurge of Chinese nationalism at the time. His ideas include controlling Chinese Yali by Chinese Christians to eliminate their labels belonging to foreign institutions, removing mandatory religious courses and religious ceremonies in Yali, and strengthening the integration of Yali with Chinese native culture and Chinese society. Both Hu Mi and his Yale colleagues emphasize maintaining Yale’s emphasis on religious beliefs, but they can not agree on how to achieve this goal because of the different understandings of the trend of the Chinese people’s right to recall the Chinese under the influence of nationalism . Due to the disagreement, Hu’s proposal on the reform of Yali was not accepted by the Yale-China Board of Directors. The Yale-China Association also lost its last opportunity to continue to take the initiative and its education in China was forced to be suspended soon.
