Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Zoology in the University of Tokio
For the feelings of the person in whose policy of obstruction they originated, and because the Science Department has now been permanently relieved of his services, our plan has been brought to a successful conclusion, let whatever merit there is in the achieve ment be credited mainly to the patience and persevering industry of the students. For whatever share the writer's efl'orts may have had in securing a successful issue, he feels abundantly repaid by the gratitude of his pupils, and by the fact that the publication of their papers will be the, means of obtaining a verdict on his work as a teacher from competent judges, He may also confess to a feeling of moderate gratification arising from the fact that the first scientific memoirs produced by Japanese will bear the names of his pupils. As these memoirs will soon be-published, no special notice of their contents is here required. A summary of the more important results would be of little interest to any one except the specialist; and any discussion of their theoretical bearings, which could interest the general reader, would come within the scope of a review of the published papers more pro perly than here. It is enough for the purposes of this article to say, that a thoroughly successful beginning has been made - a beginning that is all the more creditable on account of the obstacles that had to be overcome. But the fact is not to be overlooked that it is only a beginning, and that the test of what the student can do when left to his own resources is yet to be made.
