# Alice Mabel Bacon

Alice Mabel Bacon (February 26, 1858 – May 1, 1918) was an American writer, women's educator and a foreign advisor to the Japanese government in Meiji period Japan.

## Early life

Alice Mabel Bacon was the youngest of the three daughters and two sons of Reverend Leonard Bacon, pastor of the Center Church in New Haven, Connecticut, professor at the Yale Divinity School, and his second wife, Catherine Elizabeth Terry. In 1872, when Alice was fourteen, Japanese envoy Mori Arinori selected her father's home as a residence for Japanese women being sent overseas for education by the Meiji government, as part of the Iwakura Mission. Alice received twelve-year-old Yamakawa Sutematsu as her house-guest. The two girls were of similar age, and soon formed a close bond. For ten years the two girls were like sisters and enhanced each other's interests in their different cultures.

## Education and career

Bacon graduated from high school but was forced to give up hopes of attending university due to economic circumstances. Nevertheless, she was able to pass examinations for a Bachelor of Arts from Harvard University in 1881 and held a post as a teacher at the Hampton Institute in 1883.
In 1888, Bacon received an invitation to come to Japan from Yamakawa Sutematsu and Tsuda Ume to serve as a teacher of the English language at the Gakushuin Women's School (Peeresses' School) for Japanese girls from aristocratic families. She returned to Hampton Normal School after a year. Hearing that one of her students wanted to become a nurse but was refused entrance into training schools because of her race, Bacon sought to establish a hospital at the institute. With the help of General Samuel C. Armstrong, Hampton's principal, funds were raised to construct the Dixie Hospital. The hospital which opened in May 1891 provided nursing education and medical care for the surrounding community.
In April 1900, she was invited back to Japan to help establish the Joshi Eigaku Juku (Women's English Preparatory School), which was the forerunner of Tsuda College, staying until April 1902. During most of the period, she assisted Tsuda Umeko, refusing compensation except for her housing.
Bacon remained single all her life. She adopted two Japanese girls as her daughters, Umeko's niece Watanabe Mitsu, and Hitotsuyanagi Makiko. The latter married William Merrell Vories in 1919.
Based on her experiences in Japan, Bacon published three books and many essays, eventually becoming known as a specialist on Japanese culture and women. Her last teaching position was at Miss Capen's School for Girls at Northampton, Massachusetts from 1908 to 1910.

## Death

Alice died in her hometown of New Haven, Connecticut on 1 May 1918 at the age of 60. She was buried at the Grove Street Cemetery.

# Gustave Boissonade

Gustave Émile Boissonade de Fontarabie (7 June 1825 – 27 June 1910) was a French legal scholar, responsible for drafting much of Japan's civil code during the Meiji Era, and honored as one of the founders of modern Japan's legal system.

## Biography

Boissonade was born in Vincennes in 1825 to the famous scholar Jean François Boissonade de Fontarabie. He was a brilliant law student, and received his doctorate of law with honours from the University of Paris in 1853. He was in charge of law courses at Paris University until 1864, and was assistant law professor at the University of Grenoble until 1867.
In 1873 he was invited to lecture on constitutional and criminal law to some Japanese visitors to Paris, and received an invitation to work in Japan by the Japanese Ministry of Justice as one of several foreign legal scholars needed to assist with the drafting of Japan's legal codes and in the renegotiation of the unequal treaties.
Boissonade remained in Japan for more than 21 years, from 1873 to 1895, and worked as an instructor in the Law School of the Ministry of Justice. He worked closely with Ume Kenjirō and Hozumi Nobushige in drafting much of Japan's criminal and civil law. He was also an expert in international law, and was legal advisor to the government in the Taiwan Expedition of 1874. He was named a consultant to the Genrōin in 1875.
He also opposed Inoue Kaoru's 1887 proposal to allow non-Japanese judges, and cautioned against too rapid movement towards revision of the unequal treaties.
He was awarded the Order of the Rising Sun (2nd degree) in 1876 and was thus one of the few foreigners so honored at that time. Today, he is honored as one of the founders of Hosei University. The "Boissonade Tower", the Ichigaya campus of Hosei University halfway between Ichigaya and Iidabashi stations in central Tokyo, a 26-story building completed in 2000, was named after him.
He returned to France in 1895 and lived in Antibes, where his tomb is located.
# Henry Walton Grinnell

Henry Walton Grinnell (November 19, 1843 – September 2, 1920), known as Walton Grinnell, was a naval veteran of the American Civil War and the Spanish–American War. He became a rear admiral and Inspector-General in the Imperial Japanese Navy and served at the battle of the Yalu River in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894–95. He was discharged as an admiral at the end of the war.
Walton Grinnell's elder sister Sylvia (born 1838) married William Fitzherbert Ruxton (born 1830) who became an admiral in the British Royal Navy.
Henry Grinnell, father of Sylvia and Walton, was a partner in Grinnell, Minturn & Co., owners of the Swallowtail shipping line which included Flying Cloud, in 1851 the fastest clipper ship in the world. He financed an expedition to discover the fate of Sir John Franklin who was lost while searching for the Northwest Passage, and the Grinnell Peninsula on Devon Island is named after him.

# Oskar Kellner

Oskar (Oscar) Johann Kellner (13 May 1851 – 12 September 1911) was a German agricultural scientist (Agrikulturchemiker, Tierphysiologe).

## Biography

Kellner was invited to teach in Japan as a foreign advisor by the Meiji government of the Empire of Japan to improve Japanese agricultural productivity.
Arriving on 5 November 1881, he taught at the Komaba Agricultural School in Tokyo, and its successor, the Tokyo Agriculture and Forestry School (now a department within Tokyo University), and also conducted research into chemical fertilizers. He is considered the "father" of Japanese agricultural chemistry. His nutritional analysis of livestock feed was called the "Kellner Standard" and was subsequently adopted by the Japanese livestock industry. Kellner returned to Germany on 31 December 1892.
The Kellner rice fields at Komabano Park, close to the University of Tokyo Komaba campus, serve as a lasting tribute to his research activities while in Japan.

# Isao Inokuma

Isao Inokuma (猪熊 功, Inokuma Isao, February 4, 1938 – September 28, 2001) was a Japanese judoka. He won a gold medal in the heavyweight division (above 80 kg) at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo and a world title in 1965.

## Early life and education

Inokuma was born in Yokosuka, Kanagawa, and took up judo at age 15. He entered the Tokyo University of Education (current University of Tsukuba) and won the All-Japan Judo Championships in 1959 at only 21 years of age, to become the first student competitor to win the championship. He placed second in the All-Japan Championships in 1960 and 1961, both times losing to the future Olympic silver medalist and lifelong friend Akio Kaminaga.

## Career

Inokuma won the 1963 All-Japan Championships, but placed 4th in the 1964 All-Japan Championships and ended up entering the 1964 Summer Olympics in the +80 kg division (the heaviest weight category at the time excluding the open category). His main rivals there were Canadian Doug Rogers, who trained with Inokuma in Japan, and Georgian Anzor Kiknadze, who nearly defeated Inokuma in 1961 using sambo armlock techniques. Inokuma faced Kiknadze in the semifinals. He managed to avoid the armlocks and threw Kiknadze at the five minute to advance to the final against Rogers, who was about 30 kg heavier. In the final little happened in the first 10 minutes, and the referee, Charles Palmer threatened to disqualify both, with little effect. Inokuma was awarded the gold for a slightly higher activity.
After graduating, Inokuma became a judo instructor for Juntendo University and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. In 1965, he entered the Open weight class of the World Judo Championships intending to wrestle Dutch judo champion Anton Geesink, but Geesink went to the +80 kg division that year, and the two never faced off against one another. Both Geesink and Inokuma won gold medals in the competition, and Inokuma announced his retirement shortly afterwards, citing lack of motivation.

## Later life and death

In 1966, he resigned from his post at the Tokyo Police Department to become an executive at the Tokai Construction company (東海建設株式会社). He continued to work with judo as an advisor for the International Judo Federation, and as an instructor at Tokai University, where he coached future Olympic gold medalist Yasuhiro Yamashita. He also authored several books and manuals on judo. He became the CEO of Tokai Construction in 1993.
Inokuma died by suicide by seppuku in 2001, possibly due to financial losses suffered by his company.

# Waitsfield Common Historic District

The Waitsfield Common Historic District encompasses the original town center settlement of Waitsfield, Vermont, at the junction of Joslin Hill, Common, East, and North Roads. Located about 1 mile (1.6 km) from the town's present main village and center, it was laid out in 1793, and includes the triangular town common, a cemetery, and a number of houses built mainly between 1793 and 1841. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.

## Description and history

The Waitsfield Common area was first settled in the 1790s, its hilltop setting typical of a number of other Vermont communities. The common, originally rectangular and now two triangles, was laid out in 1798, and the cemetery on its north side was established by 1797. The town's first church was built on land now part of the cemetery, and was torn down in the 1870s. The center's location was not well suited to the needs of 19th-century commerce, and the present Waitsfield Village was by 1841 eclipsing the center in importance. It has remained an essentially rural agricultural village since then, although there has been some new construction in the late 20th century, as the area became more attractive to tourists and skiers.
The historic district is centered on the four-way intersection of Joslin Hill, Common, East, and North Roads. The two triangular sections of the common are set northeast and southwest of this junction, with the cemetery and former church site to the northwest. Historic houses line the southern part of the common, and old stone walls line some of the roads. The district has an acreage of 237 acres (96 ha), and includes open fields that descend to the west and south. There are seven historic houses in all, with a number of non-historic houses set in sympathetic scale and setback.

# Lower Green Swamp Preserve

Lower Green Swamp Preserve, formerly the Cone Ranch, is a 12,800 acres (5,200 ha) nature preserve northeastern Hillsborough County, Florida near Plant City. Hikers and equestrians enjoy almost 20 miles (32 km) of sunny, open hiking and equestrian trails winding through the southern portion of the preserve.

## Facilities

This land is kept in a primitive state for the benefit of the native plants and wildlife. There is no running water but a portable toilet is located across the trail from the office, near the southernmost bridge. Bicyclists are not permitted and there is no camping or hunting allowed on the preserve.

## History

The preserve includes former cattle ranchland and farmlands that are now being restored to a more natural state. Canals built for flood relief were blocked, and efforts continue to restore the natural hydrology of the preserve. The property was purchased by the West Coast Regional Water Supply Authority in 1988 for groundwater pumping, a plan that was later blocked by changes in federal rules. A proposed sports complex plan in the 2000s met with public criticism and proposals to turn the land into private hunting camps were also defeated. The property was eventually sold to Florida's Jan K. Platt Environmental Lands Acquisition and Protection Program in 2010. In January 2014, a portion of the land was opened for public use, and the preserve became a popular destination for hiking, horseback riding, and wildlife viewing. On September 17, 2022 one of the hiking trails was dedicated to W. Kent Bailey, one of the main activists responsible for the purchase of the land by ELAPP. More land is being removed from the cattle lease, which will allow the continuation of the size of the restored area.

## Flora and fauna

Species in the area include white-tailed deer, Sherman's fox squirrels, bald eagles, Southern fox squirrels, wood storks, and barred owls. Staff maintain trails and the parking area, performing prescribed fire to benefit native plants and wildlife, monitoring wildlife, and removing invasive plants such as natal grass and Chinese tallow tree.
