Tong De Medical College(Chinese:同德医学院)(1918-1952) was established by Chinese-German Medical Association. Chinese-German Medical Association was founded in 1916 by graduates of Tongji German Medical College (Chinese:同济德文医学堂), which was the former name of Tongji University^[1]. In 1917, Mr. Shen Yunfei(Chinese:沈云扉), member of the association, became the director of Nantong Medical School. In 1918, Mr. Shen was abdicated from that position and came back to Shanghai. As 10 students followed him, Mr. Shen tried to help them finish their study. He advocated to open a medical school. With the support of the association, a 10-people committee was established to prepare the school and raise money. They rent No.19 Maigen Road(Huai'an Road now)as the school building, and named the school as Tong De Medical School. Mr. Jiang Fengzhi was elected as the master and Mr. Shen Yunfei was chosen as the director of educational administration. The school was opened on Sep. 16th, 1918.
