Mr. Tachuen S. K. Loh, was born January 1885, in Tsingpoo, near Shanghai. He received his early education in Nanyang College, and, after a brief career as a school teacher and a newspaper editor both in Shanghai and Peking, he went in 1911 to the United States as a government student and graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1914. In January 1915, he joined the Ministry of Justice as a junior clerk in the Civil Department. He soon was appointed a member of the Judicial Reform Bureau. In August 1916, he was jointly appointed by the Ministries of Justice and Foreign Affairs as Magistrate of the Amoy Mixed Court, which office he held for a year and a half when he was transferred to Shanghai as Chief Justice of the Shanghai District Court. While magistrate of the Amoy Mixed Court, he made many judicial reforms and was much admired by both Chinese and Foreign communities. Being a native of Kiangsu, his appointment as Chief Justice of the Shanghai Court was rather an exception and consequently he was transferred to K’angsu. In 1918 and 1919, he concurrently held the offices of assistant sub-director of the Repatriation bureau of German and Austrian subjects and also Chief of the Executive Department of the Enemy Property Bureau. In 1920, he was made Chief Secretary to Gen. Ho Feng-Lin, Military Governor for Sunkiang and Shanghai, and lias held that office up to the present. For some time in 1922, he was also director of the Telegraph Material Supply Department, Shanghai, and Advisor to the Ministry of Communications. Aside from his official capacities, Judge Loh is vice-president of the American Returned Students' Club, Shanghai member of the Board of Trustees of Futan University, and a member of the Chinese and Foreign Famine Relief Committee.
