...lecture is in honor of Winthrop Ames '95, who died in 1937, an eminent theatre manager in New York between 1908 and 1932. He was founder and operator of the Little and Booth theatres there...
Pickers & Choosers. "All good theories go to America when they die." In the case of Freud this was at least half right. With a thoroughness unmatched elsewhere in the world, psychoanalysis has found its citadel in the U.S. its founder despised.

Its Japanese founder, Kanzo Uchimura, died only in 1930; today Mukyokai has between 50,000 and 100,000 adherents (there are no membership figures), a large proportion of the estimated 500,000 Christians in Japan.

Later, at an American-founded agricultural school...
...described originally by Founder Uchimura, Mukyokai has a nationalistic bent. It is "the church for those who have no church. It is the dormitory for those who have no home, the orphanage or foundling home for the spirit . . . We believe there are many sheep without shepherds, many Christians without churches . . . [What is called] 'The Church' developed out of Roman influence, molded by European and American experience. There is no reason for us to learn from Westerners about this subject . . . We should return directly to Christ . . . and welcome Him into our midst...
