...POPULAR Japanese axiom is that "An Asian can best understand the Asian." Yet it might be presumptuous to assume that simply because we Japanese are Asians that we are in better position to understand and offer solutions to Asian problems.

The College at Yale is more a more distinct academic unit than it is at Harvard; here the College and the Graduate School merge, and the man in charge is clearly the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences...
