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 six 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 six universities
will be visited every other session by a professor from some
one of the imperial educational institutions of Japan, who will give
in each university 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. The first course of lectures on this foundation was
given during the spring term of 1911-1912.
