About Francis Lister Hawks Pott

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Lister_Hawks_Pott

Francis Lister Hawks Pott (Chinese: 卜舫濟; February 22, 1864 – March 7, 1947) was an American Episcopal missionary and educator in China. He served as President of St. John's College (later renamed St. John's University), one of China's oldest and most prestigious universities, from 1888 until 1941. With the outbreak of the Pacific War in 1941 and the Japanese occupation of the Shanghai International Settlement, he left for the United States. After World War II, he returned to Shanghai.

Pott was married to Soo Ngoo Wong (Chinese: 黃素娥; pinyin: Huáng Sù'é), who died in 1918. Their children were James Hawks Pott, William Sumner Appleton Hawks Pott, Olivia Hawks Pott, and Walter Graham Hawks Pott.

In 1919 in Shanghai, he married Emily Georgiana née Browne, the widow of his St. John’s colleague Frederick Clement Cooper and mother of Gwendolin and Mervyn Cooper.

Pott was educated at the Trinity School, received a bachelor's degree from Columbia College of Columbia University in 1883, and a degree in divinity General Theological Seminary in 1886.
