In 1882 I was called to Tokyo by
the Japanese Government to occupy
the chair of Civil Engineering in the Imperial University at that city. I found there a number of highly in telligent young men in the engineer. ing classes, but a curriculum that was laid out mainly on theoretical lines, This I immediately proceeded to change by introducing into it, to the greatest extent possible, courses. in practical engineering; given by both book instruction and fieldwork. The change proved acceptable to both the students and the University author. ities, and I gradually enlarged the GENERAL practical features of the curriculum

service. In 1888 the Great Emperor conferred upon me the Order of the Rising Sun with the rank of Knight Commander in recognition of my icur venra service as a professor and of the value of the book I had written for the University Memoire; in 1916 the University made me "Hakushi," the highest honour in its gift; and in 1921, whilst I was in Toky after completing my first ser- vice for China, the present Emperor, then Prince Regent, bestowed on 20 the Second Class Order of the Sacred Treasure 38 a recognition of my use- falness to Japan in the training of so many of her engineers who now are at or near the head of the pro- fession in their country.
After my return to America, where I opened in Kansas City, Missouri, an office as Consulting Engineer, was followed there, at first by my old students and afterwards by other graduate Japanese engineers, all of whom worked for a while (general ly from two to four or even five years) in my office and in the offices of other engineers with whom I plac ed them, or in field or shops, where I was often successful in locating.
