Dear E-Colleagues:

(1) The Reference (a) above is the one I recently received from Mr. Yamaguchi in Japan.

Dear Mr. Yamaguchi:
Many thanks for the document.  I am taking the liberty of distributing it here for our list members.


(2) I hope you will find the spirit of our GUS project (Reference (b) above) goes along with the one of the Late Rector S. Nambara (Reference (a) above).

(3) By the way, Rector Nambara was a good friend of my mother, and he was also a good friend of the Late Rector James Conant of the Harvard University.

He kindly offered me to introduce me to the Rector Conant, but I did not materialize it.  Instead, I studied a bit on systems dynamics, etc. at the MIT.

(4) The educational reform of Japan made by the order of General Douglas MacArthur right after the WWII has now been well established thanks to the effort made by Rectors Nambara and Conant. The reform was to change from the German system based on Guild system to American system based on democracy.

Best, Tak
