Greetings
Since the consecration of the Doshisha Kyotanabe Kaido HIKARI-KAN in March of 2015, there has been aseries of exhibitions aimed at Doshisha students who, through the course of their four year enrollment, could
see a new exhibition every semester. We are presenting these exhibitions in series again, and adding newmaterials. This marks the eleventh exhibition, and takes a theme explored in a previous exhibition-- “Niijima
Jo and the Natural Sciences” -- and explores an additional facet: “Doshisha, Christianity and the Natural
Sciences.” As the 150th anniversary of Doshisha’s founding approaches in 2025, the “Doshisha Vision 2025”
statement serves as the basis for new initiatives, such as the opening of the “Niijima Juku” to educate future
leaders with training in both the sciences and the humanities.
Niijima Jo is already very well known as a Christian minister and as an educator, but he was also among thevery first Japanese to graduate from a university with a Bachelor of Science (rather than Bachelor of Arts)
degree. This was in part because he did not master classical Greek and Latin, but also because even before
leaving Japan, Niijima studied physics, mathematics, and naval navigation. As a result, when he returned toJapan and began Doshisha Academy (the precursor to Doshisha University) he made the sciences an importantpart of the curriculum. Niijima was a friend and supporter of the sciences.
The theme of this exhibition is divided into four main parts.
(1) Before leaving Japan, Niijima studied physics, mathematics, navigation and surveying in both Dutch andEnglish. After seeing for himself the majestic Dutch warships in Edo Bay, Niijima entered the Shogun’s Naval
Academy in Edo and began serious study of mathematics, sailing and navigation and surveying.
(2) After Niijima left Japan he attended Phillips Academy and Amherst College where he encountered aliberal arts curriculum. As mentioned above, however, rather than focusing on classical languages, heemphasized mathematics and the sciences.
(3) After returning to Japan and establishing Doshisha Academy, Niijima put the Bible and Christianity at
the center of his new curriculum, as well as scientific courses like physics. In addition, he offered lectures on
physics and planned to begin a medical school. Only a lack of funds prevented him from establishing the medical
school, but he nevertheless succeeded in opening the Doshisha Mission Hospital and Training School for Nurses.
(4) In addition to Niijima’s own enthusiasm for science education, J. N. Harris was a major contributor to thedevelopment and launch of Doshisha’s scientific education. His contributions made possible the opening in 1890
of Harris Hall and the Harris Science School. The current Faculty of Engineering and the Harris Science
Institute are built upon this early foundation. The early work of the Harris Science School is also continued at
the Kyotanabe Campus in the Doshisha Women’s College Faculty of Nursing and the Faculty of Pharmaceutical
Sciences.
Although not examined in this exhibition, while in America Niijima witnessed one of the nineteenth century’s
greatest theological controversies unleashed by the 1859 publication of Darwin’s theory of evolution. Despite
this reaction, however, in 1878 Niijima invited the American missionary John Thomas Gulick to give lectures
on evolutionary theory at Doshisha. Niijima believed that the Japanese needed to see the fundamental harmonyof science, Christianity and moral conscience. As scientific knowledge advanced, Niijima believed students
should strive to balance and advance both scientific achievement and refined moral conscience. Niijima’s legacyof uniting science and moral conscience remains for us today an essential issue we must continue to face.
Through this exhibition on Niijima, Doshisha and the natural sciences, we hope to encourage a growing
awareness of the important role of science and conscience.

Display Theme:
Niijima Jo’s Education in Japan and America

This portion of the exhibition highlights Niijima’s
natural sciences education in Japan and the UnitedStates. As a youth and adolescent in Japan he had
a wide ranging education in the samurai arts,
Western studies, and Christianity. He particularly
devoted himself to mathematics, navigation,practical science, surveying, anatomy, physiology,architectural history and the natural sciences. In
the United States, Niijima further deepened hislearning in the natural sciences. In these materials
we see Niijima’s early education in the naturalsciences.

Kansanrisetsu (Copy) 1864, 1 page, 26×37cm
Written in March 1864 shortly before leaving for Hakodate. Written in red, this traditional
Chinese-style poem (kanshi) shows the state of Niijima’s mind at the time.

Elementary Anatomy and Physiology (Copy) 1860, 1 volume, 20×12.4cm
This is an anatomy and physiology textbook Niijima used while studying at Amherst
College. On the page opened here, section 83 describes the bone mass of a person of average
weight. Niijima then writes in a note that he weighs 125 pounds (56.7 kg) and calculates hisbone weight at 13.125 pounds (5.95 kg).

Exhibition documents

Architectural History Note (Copy) Late 1860s, 1 volume, 26.5×20cm
Notes Niijima took while a student at Amherst College. In them he inserted various
illustrations. These notes demonstrate the wide range of subjects Niijima studied in thenatural sciences.

Fragment of Mathematics Notes (Copy) 1866, 9 pages, 23.5×12.4cm
Notes of algebra equations. Dated October 9, 1866, these notes were taken when Niijima
was studying at Phillips Academy. Although Niijima makes several mistakes in theseequations, we can see him in the process of learning a wide range of natural sciences in
America.

Map of Edo

Niijima Jo was born in 1843 (Tenpo 14) in the Edo compound of the lord of Annaka domain.
Until the age of 21, when he went to Hakodate, Niijima made his home here. During thisperiod, Niijima studied the Chinese classics, painting, Dutch studies and the natural sciences.
In addition, he also enrolled for about two years in the Shogun’s Naval Academy in Tsukiji
and learned navigation and the mathematics necessary to plot a ship’s journey.

＜Outside Edo＞

Niijima left Edo and ventured into the world on three different ships: the Kaifumaru,
owned by the Matsuyama domain, and two American ships: the Berlin and the Wild Rover.
The Kaifumaru made round-trip voyages between Edo and Tamashima (in modern-day
Okayama Prefecture) and this was Niijima’s first introduction to the world outside Edo.
Hakodate at that time was one of Japan’s open ports, and from there Niijima boarded the
Berlin and the Wild Rover which took him to the United States. During these voyages,
Niijima not only studied navigation and the natural sciences, he encountered an entirely
new culture and way of thinking.

When he was 21, Niijima received permission from his domain to visit Hakodate. Niijima
hoped to study in Takeda-juku and was also interested in having the opportunity to learn
from the foreigners living in Hakodate. Unfortunately the school’s head teacher was away in
Edo, so Niijima stayed with a Russian orthodox priest named Nicolai in exchange for lessons
in Japanese. During that time, Niijima visited a charity hospital run by the Russians which
made a strong impression on him. Free medicine, the most advanced methods, and good carefor patients made him fear that the people of Hakodate would after a time turn their hearts
to the Russians. This further encouraged him in his decisive decision to leave Japan.

＜Natural Sciences Education in America＞

Phillips Academy

Niijima Jo while a student at Phillips Academy

After arriving in the United States, Niijima was introduced to the Wild Rover’s owner,
Alpheus Hardy, who agreed to pay for Niijima’s education. Niijima began at a college
preparatory school called Phillips Academy, and then studied at Amherst College where hemajored in the natural sciences. At that time the standard American curriculum
emphasized both ancient languages (Latin and Greek) and the natural sciences.
Particularly at a preparatory academy, students were taught ancient languages, which wererequired for entering higher education. Perhaps for that reason, Niijima quickly gravitatedto the natural sciences, and graduated from Amherst with a Bachelor of Science degree
rather than the more common Bachelor of Arts.

After graduating from Amherst, Niijima consulted with Alpheus Hardy and agreed tocontinue his studies at Andover Seminary. Beginning in September 1870 (Meiji 3), Niijima
enrolled in a special course. Andover taught New England theology, and educated it students
for careers as ministers and missionaries. In 1872 (Meiji 5), while studying at Andover,Niijima was asked by the Iwakura diplomatic mission to advise Tanaka Fujimaro, who had
been sent to study and report on Western education. Serving as Tanaka’s translator, the two
toured the US and seven European nations, studying education, hospitals and newspapers.
Throughout the US and Europe Niijima saw first-hand the important links between
education and Christianity, and this became the basis for his own educational philosophy.

Ordained by the American Board of Commissioners of Foreign Missions as a missionary toJapan, Niijima made a dramatic speech at the Board’s 65th annual meeting at Grace Church
in Rutland, Vermont. For the first time Niijima talked about his dream to build a Christianschool in Japan. His audience was captivated and he quickly collected around $5,000 tofurther his plan. This donation provided the financial foundation for Doshisha.

Diagram Showing the Relationship between Christianity and Doshisha’s Educational Philosophy

Christianity is the central support of Doshisha’s other pillars: liberalism, andinternationalism. Together, these principles shaped the central character of Doshisha.
Niijima respected each individual student as the unique creation of God. From that basis,
Doshisha is committed to nurturing each individual student. As a result of this educational
system, Doshisha has produced many talented people who have pioneered in various fields,
and brought into their work the Scriptural commands to value each person as “the salt of
the earth” (Matthew 5:13) and the “light of the world” (Mathew 5:14).

Display Theme: Learning at Doshisha

When Doshisha was founded in 1875 (Meiji 8) as
Doshisha Academy, the curriculum centered on thehumanities, the natural sciences and Christianity.
The curriculum has changed and developed over
the years, but the commitment to Christianity
remains unchanged. Since Niijima’s passing in1890 (Meiji 23) Doshisha has established a numberof specialized programs, but these still continue theearly emphasis on the education of conscience. The
documents in this section demonstrate the founding
principles of Doshisha’s early years.

Exhibition Documents

Manuscript, Second Semester Class Schedule (Copy) 1877, 1878 (1 bound volume)
This is a draft of the course schedule for the school’s third year, second semester. (At thistime, the academic calendar began in the autumn.) Classes began at 8 AM and continued
until 5 PM, for a total of eight hours, with a one hour break for lunch. Students learnedclassical Chinese, arithmetic, the physical sciences, literary composition -- in short a wide
range of topics in the humanities and sciences. In addition there were classes in theology,
the Bible, and students used a supplementary text in English called “Peep of Day” to learn
more about Christianity. Finally, students also learned to give speeches, write compositions
and present their ideas in both Japanese and English.

Niijima Jo’s Bible (copy) date unknown, 1 volume, 21×14cm
In the year after Niijima arrived in America, Alpheus Hardy became the guardian of ayoung man named Joshua Montgomery Sears (1854-1905) who gave Niijima this Bible.
Niijima already had a condensed Bible translated into Chinese, so the English Bible was thefirst time he had ever seen the full text. In this Bible we see Niijima’s many handwritten
notes, indicating his deepening curiosity and faith.

Exhibition Documents

Branch of Chastisement (copy) date unknown, 3 pieces, the largest 60 cm
In April 1880, senior students led sophomores in a protest against the school, leading
Doshisha into turmoil. On the 13th of April Niijima addressed the students at the morning
chapel hour, telling them that the troubles were the result of his poor leadership, rather thantheir disobedience. To punish himself for this failure, Niijima used this cane to repeatedly
strike the palm of his hand. The incident deeply impressed the students with Niijima’s
integrity and deep Christian faith and became a lesson passed down to subsequent
generations of Doshisha faculty and students.

Physics Notes (copy) Meiji period, 1 page, 32×21cm
In 1881 (Meiji 14) at Doshisha Academy Niijima taught physics to the seniors. Because thiswas the only time he taught this course, we presume these notes were compiled for thatreason. Niijima used Udagawa Junichi’s translation of G. P. Quackenbos’ textbook Natural
Philosophy, cutting and pasting Udagawa’s general summaries and then drawing
appropriate illustrations.

The Seventh Annual Report of the Doshisha Mission Hospital andTraining School for Nurses, 1893 （copy）1893, 1 volume, 14.5×22.5cm
From the founding of Doshisha, Niijima Jo continually strove to increase the opportunities
for concentrated professional study. One of those advances came in 1887 (Meiji 20) with the
opening of the Doshisha Mission Hospital and Training School for Nurses. From the
beginning Niijima aimed to open a medical school and, despite financial difficulties, managed
to open the hospital and training school. The report here was issued seven years after thehospital opened, and offers details about the hospital’s work. In addition to the hospital, theHarris Science School offered professional training in the natural sciences. A school of law
and political science was also opened but closed after a short time for lack of funds.

Japanese Translation of a Letter by J. N. Harris (copy)
date unknown, 1 page, 28×40.7cm

J. N. Harris made important contributions to the opening of the Harris Science School andthe construction of Harris Hall. On display here is a Japanese translation of Harris’ detailed
letter to Doshisha administrators about the new school, dormitories, construction costs andhow best to use his $100,000 contribution. The letter shows Harris’ detailed knowledge ofbusiness, finance and administration.

Doshisha’s first building were two wooden classrooms and a dining hall that also housed
many student boarders. The campus moved from Teramachi Street (where Niijima’s former
residence is today) to Imadegawa in 1876 (Meiji 9). Niijima purchased this property, which
had been the Satsuma Domain estate, in 1875 (Meiji 8) with the help of Yamamoto Kakuma.
Even after the official end of prohibitions against Christianity, resistance remained, especiallysince the new campus was directly north of the old imperial palace and just outside the gateof Shokokuji Temple, one of the most important and powerful Buddhist temples in the city.

J. D. Davis and D. W. Learned, both missionaries sponsored by the American Board ofCommissioners for Foreign Missions, devoted their lives to nurturing Doshisha. Davis wasboth professor and administrator, while Learned taught a wide range of topics, including thefirst course in Japan on economics. Because of their enormous contributions, Davis Memorial
Hall and Learned Memorial Library on the Kyotanabe campus are named for them.

In the mid-19th century the ties between religion and the natural sciences were very strong. What
was called “natural theology” taught that God could be understood by the natural world as well as
the Bible. God’s design would eventually explain even those things that were currently notunderstood. In 1859, however, Charles Darwin published On the Origins of Species, which argued
that natural selection was the primary means of biological evolution. Niijima studied the naturalsciences in the late 1860s and early 1870s when natural theology still had a strong influence. Evenso, Niijima encouraged discussion of evolution and natural theology in even the earliest days after
founding Doshisha Academy. In 1878 (Meiji 11), for instance, the American missionary John
Thomas Gulick gave lectures at both Tokyo University and Doshisha on the theory of evolution, andin 1880 (Meiji 13) a Doshisha freshman named Yamazaki Tamenori published his Causal Theory of
the Universe that sought to demonstrate the harmony between science and religion.

Approximately six months before the chapel’s completion, the cornerstone was laid on
December 12, 1885 (Meiji 18). At this time Niijima spoke about the deep connection between
religion and education, saying that the chapel was the foundation, the symbol and the soul ofDoshisha. The chapel continues to play a central role in the religious life of Doshisha.

Doshisha’s first library was completed in 1887 (Meiji 20). Inside were Niijima’s office and anatural sciences reading room. In speeches and letters, Niijima often mentioned the vital
importance of the library. In drafts for a speech about founding Doshisha, for instance, Niijima
mentioned the importance of libraries at schools in Europe and the US, and especially thenecessity for large holdings. He believed that a university’s library and other resourcesreflected on the school’s high scholarly standards.

In 1886 (Meiji 19) on the site of the current KBS Kyoto building, the Kyoto Nursing Schooland hospital was opened. Niijima worked hard with the American medical missionary John
C. Berry to raise money for a medical school. Unfortunately they were unable to amasssufficient funds and so began instead with a missionary hospital and nursing school. However,in 1897 (Meiji 30) the hospital’s administration was transferred to Saeki Riichiro. In 1906
(Meiji 39) the hospital was closed, while the training school for nurses continued until 1951
(Showa 26).

J. N. Harris was born in Salem, Connecticut in the US. When he was 20 he moved to New
London, Connecticut to begin a business and later had much success in banking andpharmaceuticals. He donated liberally to religious and educational causes, and eagerly
supported Niijima’s idea to create a science school, to which he donated $100,000. Throughthis generous contribution Doshisha opened the Harris Science School in the newly built
Harris Hall. Financial difficulties forced the science school to close seven years later, but it
was revived in 1944 (Showa 19) with the opening of an industrial vocational school. Currently
the Harris Science Research Institute continues the early tradition of the Harris Science
School, while continuing to expand research opportunities for faculty and students.

Since Doshisha’s founding Niijima’s emphasis on Christian education has formed a core of
the schools’ spirit and mission. The Center for Christian Culture organizes the Doshisha
Spirit Tour, which provides students opportunities to learn about the school’s founding spirit
and their own place in that history, and then apply these lessons to fieldwork. The tour
alternates every year between the Kumamoto and Annaka-Aizu camps.
Kumamoto plays a particularly important role in the history of Christianity in Japan andof Doshisha. It is the home of the so-called “Kumamoto Band,” which played such animportant role in Doshisha’s early history. Annaka was the home of Niijima’s grandfather(Annaka domain), and Aizu was the home of Yamamoto Kakuma, an influential figure in
Doshisha’s founding, as well as where Niijima’s wife, Yae, was raised.
