The Rutgers Graduates In Japan (1916)

By William Elliot Griffis

Book Overview

The Rutgers Graduates In Japan is a historical non-fiction book written by William Elliot Griffis and published in 1916. The book is about a group of Rutgers University graduates who traveled to Japan in the late 1800s to teach English and introduce Western culture to the Japanese people. The author, who was a professor of Japanese language and culture, provides a detailed account of the experiences of these graduates, including their struggles with the language and culture barriers, their interactions with the Japanese people, and their impact on the country's education system. The book also explores the broader historical context of Japan's modernization during this period and the role that these Rutgers graduates played in this process. Through personal anecdotes and historical analysis, Griffis provides a fascinating insight into the early days of Japan's engagement with the West and the important role that American educators played in this process.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
