THE JAPANESE EXCHANGE PROFESSORSHIP.
In 1911 there was founded an exchange professorship between the
United States and Japan for the promotion of a better mutual understanding
between the two nations. Sharing in this foundation are the following
American universities: Yale University, Columbia University, the Johns
Hopkins University, the University of Virginia, the University of Illinois,
the University of Minnesota. By the terms of the foundation, each of the
above universities will be visited every other session by a professor from
some one of the imperial educational institutions of Japan, who will give a
short course of lectures, treating some aspect or aspects of Japanese life.
In the alternate years the six American universities forming the foundation
will send a similar representative to Japan.
