Life Sketch of Nyo Sui Innui.
"Kiyo Sue Innui was born at Muya.
on the island of ShIkoku,Japan, March
%, 1884. At the age of ten he was
sent TO the city of Kobe, Japan, where
he entered the grammar school. Later
he attended Methodist mission
school, Kwan Sci Gakuin, of the rank
of a high school, from which he grad
uated at the age of eighteen, with the
first rank of his class. He came to
America in the summer of 1902, and
In September entered the Literary
Department of the University Of
Michigan, from which he received the
degree Of A. b. in June, 1906 By his
energy and thrift he has been able o
make his way through college. Dur
ing the past two years he has been
iIuch in demand as lecturer, having
appeared at several Chautauqua as
sembles during the summer of 1905,
and before lecture associations during
the winter season.
Ever since he entered the Univer-
sity. Mr.. Innui has been most per-
sistent student of the English langu-
age and of oratOry. He began his
study OF English at Kobe, Japan, two
ye TA before he came to America.

he found great difficulty with his pro-
nuncation Of the English and the
construction Of his sentences. But SO
rapid was his progress that ia his jun
ior year in competition he won the
right TO represent his class ia the an
nual Oratorical Contest. In this con-
test, in which he was pitted against
representatives from five other classes,
he won second honor and the position
of Alternate to the Northern o ratOri-
cal League. In 1906, with his Grafton

not only won the Senior Class contest,
but the University contest, and was
awarded the Kaufman Testimonial of
$l0Q, the Chicago Alumni Medal. and
the e1Ron0r of representing the Univer-
sity of Michigan in the contest of the
Northern OratOrical League. In the
League contest, which was held May

honor and the Lowden testimonial of

eutatiVes of the other six universities.

have come to him at the hands of his
fellow students. He was elected class

"Mr. Inui is small Of stature, but he
has strong, well modulated voice, a
pleasing manner, and strong person
ality. His speaking is characterized
by perfect directness and intense earn
estnessness. He selects subjects Of
vital Importance, in which he HIM
self is personally interested, aud
brings stirring message to his aud
ience which wins their sympathy from
his first words"
