Joseph Percy Bruce (Chinese: 卜道成; pinyin: Bo Dào chéng, 1861–1934) was a British missionary to China. In 1908, he purchased about 360,000 square meters (545 mu) of land to the southwest of the old city of Jinan for the establishment of Cheeloo University. He served as Dean of the theological seminary and later as president of Cheeloo University (from 1916 to 1920). After his return to the United Kingdom, he served as governor of the School of Oriental Studies in London^[1] from 1929 to 1931.^[2]

In May 1925, Bruce was appointed the first Professor of Chinese at the School or Oriental Studies (later School or Oriental and African Studies, or SOAS), replacing W. Hopkyn Rees, Reader in Chinese, who had died in August 1924. He continued as professor on an annual basis until 1931, when he was replaced by Reginald Johnston.^[3] He remained on at SOAS as a language instructor until his death in 1934.^[4]
