Foochow College was a college in Fuzhou, China. It had a long history in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century with American Christian missionaries who taught there.

Charles Hartwell spent much time at the college and Willard Livingstone Beard led it from 1912 to 1927.

Having merged other smaller colleges in Fuzhou, it became the main forerunner of Fuzhou No.5 Middle School in 1952, which resumed the former Chinese name of Fuzhou Gezhi High School in 1992.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Fuzhou dialect</span> Eastern Min Chinese dialect

The Fuzhou language, also Foochow, Hokchew, Hok-chiu, or Fuzhounese, is the prestige variety of the Eastern Min branch of Min Chinese spoken mainly in the Mindong region of Eastern Fujian Province. As it is mutually unintelligible to neighbouring varieties in the province, under a technical linguistic definition Fuzhou is a language and not a dialect. Thus, while Fuzhou may be commonly referred to as a 'dialect' by laypersons, this is colloquial usage and not recognised in academic linguistics. Like many other varieties of Chinese, the Fuzhou dialect is dominated by monosyllabic morphemes that carry lexical tones, and has a mainly analytic syntax. While the Eastern Min branch it belongs to is relatively closer to Southern Min or Hokkien than to other Sinitic branches such as Mandarin, Wu Chinese or Hakka, they are still not mutually intelligible.
