What is Ginza Ginza is one of the public resorts inTokyo, like Shinjuku, Shibuya andAsakusa, where there are many com-mercial fiirms, department stores, tearooms, dancing salons, movie theatresand so forth. As Ginza consists ofeight squares containing various kindsof shops, they call it "Ginza-Hatcho;'and it has a street beautifully linedwith willow trees like the marronniersin Paris. It is a place creating a fashion inJapan too. We usually see many IS eiostudents at Ginza as we see Wasedastudents in Shinjuku. Especially manystudents gather there to enjoy an even-ing of gayety, especially after the base-ball matches between Keio and Waseda,one of the most colorful sports eventof the year of Keio,

K-W Baseball Game and Ginza It i's a. well--knowrt fact that KeioUniversity has contact relationsi with'Ginza for nearly a century. Seniors'talk boastfully how they were eon-nected and how they acted on thestreet First of all they would tell usabout the night of the Keio-Wasedabaseball matches. On the night afterthe baseball games are over, lots ofKeio students gather at the schoolgrounds,-when we win the game,more students come and toast the vic-tory of Keio over Waseda. After thisthey advance to the Ginza by taxi ortram ear and parade along and aroundthe street from one end to the otheragain and again} with a eup of beer ineveryone's hand, folding arms witheach other, sing or shout sehool-songsfor victory, and earry on this rackettill the time for the last car. Then thewhole streets are occupied by the Keiostudents, as if the Keio boys are theonly people who are allowed to be

These traditions will be varied, moreor less, to some extent, but will nevervanish so long as both Keio Universityand the Gmza street exist.

, WhoReallyeoes to einza ? People are very likely to connectKeio boys with Ginza. And Ginza hasbeen regarded as the "Latin quarter"of Keie boys. But when you carefullywalk through Ginza streets, looking atand peeping into every corner, you willfinct something that does not comparewitli the fact mentioned above. There are the following sorts of peo-ple among the Keio boys: some arevery diligent and have no time to wasteon Ginza streets, some curiously have agreat deal of time to lose. It seemsthat those who are living eonvenientlyclose by visit Ginza frequently, thoughit is not clear whether they go forshopping or drinking or to enjoy walk-ing along the streebs avec someone.Keio boys living comparatively far fromGinza seem not to hke to waste timethere. As a matter o"f faet, the willows

Editor's note: IIen of pre-war da'vs used to say that Ginza had big threeaccessoyies: one was the willovv, another v;ras the row of night-stalls and athird was the Keio-boy.

Though many cireumstances have exterminated the night-stalls after theWar, 282 willow trees are greetin.ct the people .with their yeung leaves asbrightly as ever. Those Keio students whe are seen in the thoroughfare iiamed

Ginza, are increasing in number from year to year. But, what kind of rela•q

tionship can be recognized. between Ginza and Keie-Gijuku? In order toanswer this question, The :Vlita Cainpus presents to you the conclusion on in-

quiry follewed by the reportages and self-reflection upon our schoo1 Iifein Ginza.

Results ol lnquiries L- tt -L -at Random - v The Mita Campus has ventured thistiine to make an inquiry into the rela--tionship between Keio Gijuku and theGin2a Streets (biggest public resort inJapanÅr.

This investigat!on was made byTneans of questionaires to sophomoresand-juniors of the Faculties oÅí Literatureand Economics at Mita campus also tosophomeres of the Faculties of Law andEconomics up at Hiyoshi campus. The followings are the details of thisinvestigation.

( To which public resort do you go most frequently?

-"The number of those who answered.Ginza is- overwhelming and far greaterthah that of those who said Shinjiikutmd Shibuya. Other quarters-Go--tanda, Asakusa and Ueno--seem tobe out of th6 question to the students of

Keio University. Next, 'I7he Mita Carnpus has askedthose who answered Ginza why theygo there. (in prewar period, the per- prefer-eentage of the students whoTed Ginza as a public resort was 80.)

.

This result indicates that no onepurpose is prominent and that Ginzais a central public resort of Tokyo.The result would be the same evenwhen people in the streets answeredthis question. Keio students seem togo to Ginza for shopping, eating anddrinking although they go to Shin-juku and Shibuya for theatre-going.This is because Ginza is the onlyplace where those eommodities andfoods are available ,which are fit for$uch highly refined taste of the

students in Keio.

)o you go te Ginza on the way from school?

-On the way from SehOOI . eL• • e • e • 49%

Go there easily as living in vicinity . 27%

Go all the way to the Ginza, though living far. . . . • e • 24%

'This means that the factors whichatlbract people in Keio to the GinzaStreets are not only tradition and,taste but geographical location asw, ell. In other words, Keio is situat-ed so near that we are able to readilluminations in Ginza.

Before making a conclusion from'the facts mentioned, it is necessaryto put residence of the students intoaccount. The greatest number ofthem (859o) goes to school by electr!ctrain, getting off at Tamachi Station.

The followings are the distributionpf the directions they get to Tamachifrom.

Tarnachi Station (100%)V!iaShimbashi ViaShinagawa (40%) (60%) f-------" Yamate-line (62%) x Keihin-line (34%) Other Iines ( 4%)

kt is thus clear that comparativelymany of the Keio students are livmgin the west-south and the west sidesof Tokyo. This fact tells us thatmELny of them go to schooi throughShinjuku and Shibuya, where they,however, only see movies and forotlier purposes they find no troublein going to Ginza. 'rhis is all because they ean getthere for 15 or le yen by tram-carand by electric train and for some100 yen by taxi. Theatres they liketo go are all around HibSya, namelyTeikoku Gekijo, Hibiya Movie Thea-tre, Nichigeki, Yurakuza, Marunouchi-Ni'kkatsu, Togeki, Kabukiza, Shim-lbaLshi-LJinibujcr, and Tokyo-Takara-zuka (Ernie Pyle Theatre). And about ctepartment stores: theygo to those located in Ginza andNihombashi with the exception of theterminal department store, Shibuya-

in the traditional Keio--Waseda base-ball match.

Here let us eonsider what Keiostudents themselves thmk of the con-neetion between Keio and Ginza. This investigation tells that 72.59ooÅí them admitted the connectionand that a half of those whodenied the eonnection are actually go-ing to Ginza while many of thosewho do not go there admitted thisrelation.

After all Ginza is the Heimat ofKeio students. The conclusion is thatthey lead an acadernie life in Mita andgatisfy their amusement in the GinzaStreets.

some into coffee shop just as the stu-dents of other schools do. From what is written above, the rela-tion between Keio boys atid Ginza hasbeen widely known and people seemto think that Keio boys are alwaysaround in Ginza.denbs who often appear on the streets

are mostly the same. .' Strolfingon the Ginza Streets With a gentle breeze of early sum-mer, the dusk has gathered to the wil-low trees and eolourful illuminationsof coffee-shops or beer-halls on theGinza Streets; and now it is the timgfor students. Yes, it is just thestudents' time,--coffee-shops are fiilledwith sehool••boys and girls, and a largenumber of students, including me, arewalking up and down along the streets.Sometimes my eyes are fixed on thecap of a student eoming this way witha pretty girl. ! can tell that he is aKeio-boy by his cap-b!ock. And Igaze after their retreating figure, smil-ing with an envious sigh. Oh yes, Iam a student of Keio University too.In coffee-shops, in a deparment-storeor in a beer-hall, I find Keio-bayseverywhere along the Ginza Streets.-sometimes with a girl or with his Nclassmates and sometimes alone, Wellhas it been said that the Keio-bays areon intimate relations with the GinzaStreebs.

in days gone by, our alumni dis-cussed literary criticism or social pro-

'blems in coffee-shopg around our Cam-pus. In short, those shops $urroundingthe Mita hill formed a kind of coHegetown. The students, in those days,rested their study-tired head by argu-ing on many problems with theirseniors or classmates in a tiny but tidycoffee-shop. Lately, some large coffee-•shops,especially designed to serve studentsor salaried-men, can be seen here andthere in this quarter. The studenbs,of eourse including Keio-boys, walkinto those shops not because they canehat as frankly as their alumni did,but only because they find it easierto call at those magnificent shops thanat a tiny one. Suddenly I'm surprized to noticethat Keio-boys in the shop has one byoneXretired. The students' time isover. (M.N.)

(Keio and Ginza)

A Visit to a Cabaret in Ginza Asked by editors to dehneate some- thing pertaining to "gay quarters" in Ginza, I determined to run the risks against my better judgment, saying, `'It is an assignment," but at the same time burming with curiousity. This story so true and touching, whieh fo]lows xvill appear to the read- ers somewhat in the light of com- mentary on tlie propositions just ad- vanced. I was strolling one night down a long dirty back street in Ginza-in the vicinity of ...I stepped in to a caba- ret of a sort, passed down through a zigzag and intricate labyrinth m my progress with silence and obhvion fol- !owing all the way, and at length found myself in front of the veryentrance to an unknown world.

There I felt a subtle sensation ofmingled security and awe-an intensesentiment of horror, unaecountable andunendurable. From the moment Ifirst eame in sight of the inward world,a sense of insufferable embarrassmentpervaded my soul with incredible,rapidness. I was impelled by curi-ousity to look about the scene withthe eyes of a scrutinizing observer thatmight have found out a barely per-ceptible fissure; but it was in vam be-cause darkness was a barrier to myv-ision. As I sat down, the feeblegleams of a fiuorecent lamp made their"way through the darkness overpoweredby smoke. The ceiling seemed tohang oppressively low and dark dra-peries were upon the walls. Then a girl eame-from somewhere inthe dimness and seated lrerseif downwith me. All the restless passions werecharmed up and I undoubtedly felt ihenatural fountain of the soul that vio-lently gushed out within me, quicken-ed the pulses, and sent the tade of lifein swift eurrents through the veins.The poor girl gazed upon me withvacant and wandering eyes, but Istared fixedly. She was dressed in gayand tawdry clothes with the faee thick-ly ' painted and the bosom partly open--ed, but was emanciated and ghastlypale, the air of illness or amioyance.The lingerings of decent and n6blepride, however, were elearly visible mher appearance. She raised her glazedeyes and looked about with afaintwildness.

Silenee was broken. "May I order something?" said she all of a sudden. [I]wo bottles of beer were brought. "You are a student of Keio?" Again followed silence. Around us there were rrLa!iy, male and female, who had drunk too mueh and slipped into golden exhilaration. Bemg, apparently, occu- pied w]th thought, she had not spoken even a syllable for akaleast five minutes. Then, she began to unbosom herself to me in any agony of anguish as if a dam had burst all at onee. "Plea:se listen to my story... It was late one night a year ago or so when a strange eollege student camehere. ] sat down with him just as Iam doing now. I saw him lookingarokmd trying very hard to piereethrough the darkness. So I asked himmany questions. He said, `I eame hereto look for my younger sister.' Hissister had run away from home for along time. He therefore dropped inplaces sueh as bars, cabarets or dancehalls in search for his sister wheneverhe had enough money. He had to workat hard side-jobs to enter such places.His fate made a deep impression uponme. He seemed so wise-so clever-so intel]ngent-so gentle-so everythingthat I felt somewhat fascinated by himin spite of rnyself. I wish I could bea college student, too. But I can't.Time went on... Then after sittingfor a while he drifted out. When thiscabaret closed at eleven, I hastenedtowards Yurakucho station. By astrange coincidence I saw the samestudent sitting on a bench. ! uncon`-sciously approached him, when I no-ticed the buttons of two pens-thesymbDl of Keio. We boarded the sametrain on t.he Yamate line. It took usas tar as Shibuya. When he got offthe tram, ! followed him withoutknowing. I}hastened towards him, buthis steFLs were quick an-d swift andhe disappeared from sight, He- hadnet spoken during all that time. "Now I have no' parents, no rela-tives, no brothers and sisters. But Ihad on]y a brother who had longbeen suffering from consumption andon .a windy night breathed his last,crying out my name and spMing bloodfrom his mouth. It was one monthafter this tragical incident when thestudent came here. Tlie student al-ways reminds me of my brother whois ne lc,nger on this earth: "Sometimes I loiter about the schoolbuildings of Keio University when 1am free, hoping that r will be able tomeet thLs same student m pursuit ofmy brother's image..." I hope she will some day fud himfor whom she is looking. The love ofa delicate female is always shy andsilent.

If all the world beside cast her offon the pretext of "cabaret girl," I, the

present writer, wdl be even al1 theworld to her, a beautiful and accom-plished girl. (M.M.)

our Japanese economists through the meeting you have had with them?Robinson: I think they are very re- markable in the problem of co- existence of Keynes and Marx. They are very eager in their studies,Campus: In what field of economics

are going to specialize?Robinson: Now that I am just through with `The Aecumulation of Capital,' 1 make a pause. I don't have any idea of writing for the present.

SUMMARY OF SPEECH Marxismtis viewed from two aspects;the one is Marxism as a creed. Sinceit is a ereed, it is never wrong in anypircumstances to the believer. Thepther is Marxism as a contributor tascience, Taken into a method ofBeienee, Maxism is great in its boldpredietion about the trend of eapi-talism,

There are two methods by whichMarx carries his argument that therate of real wage remains constant oreven falls despite the growing produe-tivity in the capitalist society. The oneis the metaphysical labor theory ofValue. But he also carries his argu-ment with highly scientific analysis.If the rate of capital accuniulation; hesays, is greater than the rate of in-

erease of labor population, the real wage may temporarily, but this does not ever last. For then the falling rate of profit and labor-saving innova- tion eause unemployment, and hence the real wage is pressed down to the initial low level. Thus, as capitalism develops, the tension between workers and capitalists breaks out. !t seems to me, however, that this argument is his illusion. !n advanced industrial countries real wage has risen, and con- sequently the standard of living of laborers has also risen, though the re- lative share of wages remains con- stant. Moreover laborers have come to accept fhe capitalist view through various eommunications and trade unions themselves have become a part of capitalism, Marxists explain this as a result of super-exploitation of colonial people. Lenin calls the wotker of the indus- triahzed countries "the pampered slaves of the eapitalist court." But this is too exaggerated. The standard bf living and productivity has risen in the United States that has no colony.If we go on Lenin's argument, Marx's'prediction must turn out the antagon-

ism between people of the horne coun-try and colonial people, which is quite

different from the antagonism betweenworkers and capitalists in the homeeountry.

Aecording to Marx, revolution wasto occur in the most advanced eapitalisteountry. However, this turned out tobe false. Schumpeter went so far asto say that the Bolshevik revolutionis merely a historical accident of thevvar. Lenin reeonsiled the fact andMarx's prediction by explaining thatthe revolution was a breffak at theweakest link of the chain of capitalism.Different from both Schumpeter andLenin it seems to me quite clear that

the revolution has its own logicalneeessity. It occurred in the leastdeveloped feudalisfic eountries. Th;sfact tells us that the system of eom-tnunism is most advantageous in deve-loping the backward countries.

The reason why communism is ad-vantageous are given as follows:

In contrast with the Western eoun-tries whieh have made the slow andeostly progress in the process of his-tory, the blue print is made for thefuture development under the revolu-tionary government. The revolution-ary government under whieh no con.'sumption of unearned income existsand all surplus income is invested, canget people work with a little imrnediatereturn, and suppress the oppositionwithout caring about its repetiuon inthe people. Moreover, it can learnmuch from the advaneed natiens whichfound extreme brutality to the w.orkernot econoinical and has come to bethe welfare state. Thus cornmunism issuperior to cap,italispi to develop thebackward underdeveloped countries.It is in this sense that we have to re-consider Marxism today. Then what are implication of Marx-ism for advaneed eountries? When weconsider this, the law of the fallingrate of profit and eonsequent collapse'of capitalitsm must be examined. Ac-

physical capita1 per unit labor rmaybecome high, but the eapita1 in value

per unit labor does not inerease as recent statistics show. Quite different from this argumentMar)[ also presented the under.con.sumptionist theory ef crises. Howeverthis is again a' confused idea. As theaccumulation of capita1 grows, the re-lative share of wage is constant, andthere is an absolute increment in thereal wage. But I don't deny the eon.tradiÅëtion of Åëapitalism pointed out byKeynes as the lack of effective de-mand. The development of monopolytnay also bring about the weakenirrgof tlte accumulation of capita1. indiagnosing this phenomenon stagnationeannot be overcome without the gov.ernment supplement as presented byKeynes. " Now, paradoxicallyi the very exist-ence of communjst countries, that is,the cold war help the eapitalist coun-tries survive. Remedy stands out thandisease. Can only the armament race'keep the high level of employment incapitalistic countries? The answer de-pends upon the possibility of the peace.ful coexistenee of the different eoun. .tries.

In conclusion, r think that it ispossible to apply communism fer thedeve!opment of the baekward coun.'tries and that the advatneed countriesban take their own way to the wel-fare state empleyi g Keynes' policy.There is no logical reason why thepeaceful coexistence is impossible.Where does Japan fit in this picture?As far as Japan goes, I think she isalways an exception ef eeonomic his-tory and a mixture of feudalistic andmodern factors. I expect your genera.tion ceme to contribute to the peace-ful coexistenee of different worlds.

w..-.MUTUALUNDERSTANDINGProf. Mavis

Edltor's Note: Miss Mavis Mann, a Ful. bnght professor of American government smÅëe last September, who is slated."to return home to the United States:in coming July wrote the following article by the re.

que$t of The Mita Campus.

u

As the time for departure ap--proaches, after what has been a mo.stdelightful and educational year mJapan, it is natural to evaluate whatone hashcontributed and received.For my part, it is much easier to lmowwhat the benefibs of the FulbrightProgram have been to me than todetermine how my stay at Keio mayhave benefited others. The main purPose of the FulbrightProgram is to further internationalllnderstanding. Certainly, peoples ofaEl nations will understand each otherbetter if they know each other better.Perhaps through our exchange of ideas,my students wi!1 have a better under-standing of American thinking andproblems. There is danger, however,in basing your thinking about a na-tion on your impression of one person.'l]his is particularily tTue as regardsthe United States in which such avariety of people exists. Personal infiuences are perhaps themost important effects of an interna-tional exchange of persons. It is myhope as a college professor, however,tliat 1 may have contributed some-thing to the development of the in-tellectual capaeity of rny students. Iam painfully aware of the limitationsas to what can be gained in theÅëlass-room, particularily in a field as large

a fae-as American Government. !ntual way, there rnay be little that ]have taugh+.. WhatI was trying tcvteach is something much more im-•Portant than the study of AmericanG6vemment in itself. ! have been try-ing to helpNmy studenbs to developinquiring and analytieal minds. If I

me atcould leave one thing behindKeio,I hope St is a doubt of the abso-•lute validity of the printed word anathe infallibility of the professor. Ihope my students will question what

willthey read and hear-that theynot be content to read one "authority"on a subject but will study all sidesof a question. May they subject in-hforrnation to the searchlight of criti-eal exarnination and analysis. OnlyZhen will they be able to find the truth.in a democratic society, tlie peoplemust be able to distinguish the truthfrom pure propaganda. At the futur,:--leaders of Japanese society, this is

espeeia}!y important for Keio students.

For my part, the year spent at Keid) and in Japan, has been tremendouslyeducational and personally rewarding.While no one eould be an authorit:gpn Japan in the short tirne I have spenthere, I think I have a better under-$taT)tiling of the customs and problems cbf `

rtihe Japanese. Sorne of the impressions I had before I came and some of those formed en first contact, have been

Manngeompletely altered. This is the kindiof exFerience that most people who'spend some time in another countryprobably have. I know that many ofmy Japanese friends would changetheir minds about many aspects ofAmerican customs and problems ifIhey had the opportumty to spendsome time with us.

The experienee of teaching in aUm"ersity that operates under an en-tirely differenli system is always "alu-able. I may appreciate more some ofthe things I had at home, such asstudents who attend class regularily.At the same time, I'm eertam to missfhe prestige that goes with being ateaeher in Japan, particularily at Keio,and many other things that have madethis year a suecessful one from mypoint of view. The kindness and consideration withwhich I have been treated will makeme always kinder to foreigners whovisit the United States. I had notrealized before this year in Japan,how completly frustrated one who doesnot know the language could be try-ing to engage in the simple duties ofeveryday living. In this connectionmy friends have provided invaluableassistance. I shall regard the effortsof foreigners in the United States withmuch more sympathy and understand-ing in the future,

The most important thing I have gottenin Japan ean be summed up in one word-friends. Somehow I can't help feel-ing that my entire future attitude to-WaTd Japan will be tremendously in-fluenced by these people I have come toknow well. Surely in the future if Ihear that "All Japanese" do certain'tliings or think certain ways, in a dero-

'gatory sense, Z will know that my[fri'ends here would not dQ that orthink fttese things. Perhaps if al1 of'us had friends in other countries, thehistory of the world might be ehanged.Jn any event, I hope that I can keeppay friends at Keio. i hope, too, thatin case of any misunderstanding be- Ktween our respeetive counhies thatthey might remember that while weAmericans might not always be right,we mean well.

FOR FUNDAMENTAL SOLUiTION OF WORLD TENSIONS t The possibility of eoexistence leomas largei' in the li.aht of the recent trend

toward peace vi'hich is symbolized by the forthcoming Big Four ConfeTenceat the summit. It is encouraging for us that a relaxed atmosphere has beencreated to enable the opening of such a high level meeting betweeSn the antago-

nistic West and East, and it is true that such a conference is an element for

easing existing international tensions.

However, we cannot be too optimistic for our future because ki no instaiscein liistory, has it ever been shown that tensions Nyere relaxed merely thi'ough

political routes such as rke tep ievel conference now projected. As is wellrepresented by the saying "history repeats itself," there lies deep in the Åíounda-

tion of international tensions the disturbing factor which can be explainedfrom various angles---mainiy, from economic points of view.

Some say, according to Marx-Lemin theory, that this factor exis,ts in acapitalist society itseif, which they say has no solution of its internal conta'ctpdic-

tions except the inevitable break-down oÅí itself, either imperialistic wars or

revolution of proletariaL The otheys, on the contrary, demahd that Commud-

nistqb creator of world uni'est, be abolished from the earth so as to protect

security and freedom against their despotism. No maber which opinion isrighg it is outrageous that an ideology should tr.y to testify to its truthfulness

by a War. On this poing the lecture of Mme. Robinson recently made at Keio is vei'y xappropriate for our further understanding. tt the present level of economicactives w7hich capitalist countries are now maintaining are supported by the

Government expenditui'e for ammunition production fer the cold war, as was

pomted out bY Mme. .R. obinson, this means the survival of a capitaiist society

depends upon the existence ef the cold war. We thin1" internationai tensionis created by the social stu'ucture which needs it. However, Mme. Robinsonstressed that economic prosperity of the capitalist society at standstill can be

recoyeFred through reasonable and peaceful way, whil.e poindng out the inappli-cability of Marxian theory of inevitable collapse to a modern capitalist sQcietS.

On the other hand, the Econemist froui Cambridge made it clear that theCommunist way of economic planning is the inevitable courses for the underri-

deve!oped countries facing the danger of colonization. We believe, iÅí a nation

has no alternative measure for its higher standarct of living but to choose

between Communis'4s and colonialists, the nation sheuld naturally choose the

former for its independence. Accordin.cly, an abstract and ideolegical charge

agamst Communist-ruled countries does not make any sense; it rather jeopardize

-the relaxation of tensions.

iWhat is implied by the above mentioned us that Keynesian theory andMarxian theory as the means of econc,mic planning ean live together in peaceby the respective application to their specific fields, as was characteristically

said by IM[me. Robinson. But we cannot be satiiied with the stage of peaceful

coexistence of Keynes and Marxi -Vhat we must stress is the need ef ceopera-tion of the twe political economies for' easing i ternational tensions.

As a matter of fact, no country in thet world today can selve its economic

contradictions such as involuntary uneuaployment in modern capitalist countries

and low standard of living in backward countries within the limit Gf its sphere

of infiuenee. Solution oÅí these contradtctions iS indispensable for Peace.

E there is a common philosophy or. which cooperation of Keynes andut"tlarx is baseU, it wili be the supreme value of the last quarter of the 20th

century: ?eaceful survi'val ef human ra{:e. The political economy thus erganizedvvil1 be the decisive access to the furidamental solution of internatienal tensions•

Can This Be Left Alone? f--' Cons;Ueratiens On "SEip oF the Tongue" lnci

B2 Suguru Hasui, Senior ofFaculty ofLaw

The disrespeetful remarks aboutthe university'$ founder Yukichi Fuku-zawa by a student of the library schoolin Faculty of Literature have catisedhis expulsion. One day at the endof April the student used the founder'sname in rather derogatory way whileat the barber:s near the campus. Aprofessor who happened to be therewas greatly enraged at his remarks asthey were most unworthy of a Keiostudent. This happenmg, though in-directly, resulted in his disrn.issal fromthe university.

From Students' Press

On Univers;{y ReForm THE NMION DAIGAKU SHIMBUN,published at Nihon University, took up

as feature the university reform problem

focussing on the new sehool system.

The aim of tlie new schoo! systemwas materiahzed to some extent in the

extention of eompulsory education,orientated to give practical knowledge

along with the development of per-sonqlity.

What is the present state of theuniversity? The U.S. suggested therenovation of the school system ofteachers' colleges and technieal schoolswith th'-e idea of giving higher gen" eraleulture to those in technical courses.Japan, mistaking of American view,applied the new system to universitiesas well,,thus bringing about a de-cline m scholarship.

At this renovation, four years atuniversity was expeeted to be spent inacquiring a fundamental educationwith many of the graduates being ex-peeted to advance to post-graduatecourses. Economie conditions forcedShe shortening of fundamental studyto two years instead of four years.This seems to be closely connectedwith the decline in studefit scholarship.•

One of the rneasures recently con-•sidered is the extention of curriculum6ne or two years..There is no firfalsolution as yet. The reform should beearried out to suit the Japanese situt-tion in the spirit of the new system,educating the eventual graduates forsociety, and guaranteeing edueationalopportunity to every Person, It is im--portant that we be good enough to ad-mit merits and to correctsdefeets forbringing up persons demanded by thenew age.

Uranium Acceptance THE RIKIKYO DAIGAKU SHIM-tBUN, pubhshed at St. Paul's Univer-sity, took up in ks May 20th issue, thecontroversial issue of the bilateralagreement on Japan's acceptance of theUnited States offer of enriched ura-niurn. The artiele was an interviewwith Dr. Mibsuo Taketani, St. Paul'snuclear expert, wh-o opposes thatagreement. The summary of Dr. Taketani'sview: Under the agreement as is contem-plated between Japan and the U.S.which is based on the guarantee onthe part of the former for the seerecyand administration of enriched ura-nium and permits no one to handle itexcept those admitted by the U.S.Atomic Energy ,Commission, we can-not enjoy "open," "democratic," and"independenV' nuclear study whieh wastermed as the basic principle for theuranium acceptance at the Japan Aca-demi.c Conference. The probability; ould be ereated that anotheir Oppen--heimer Dismissal woul'd oecur, due tothe preference of theAE.C., if the pactwould be eoncluded unconditionally. In addition, the hidden meaning ofthe U,S. Atomic Power Law clerifiesthat the offer of uranium has suchstrings as to bind up the acceptorcountries, by the present superiority of

This case caused a great sensationin the world as well as in the eampus.The Yomiuri Shimbun in its .editoeialblamed the faculty for expel!ing astudent on the charge of insulting theuniversity's founder and sard "it is evenmeanmgless to force the studenbs torespect the founder, no matter howgreat and worthy of respect he was."!n response to the Y6miuri's blame,president UshiQda made an announee-ment saying, "The reason he was a$k-,ed to withdraw frem Keio is not thathe merely used abusivg languageabout the founaer but that he was con-firm.ed by the faculty as not worthyof being a Keio student m points.ofmind and conduct." The case seerrrs to contain the great-est complexity imaginable, and no onebut the concerned would see actualfact as it is too delicate. Therefore Emynewspapers which reported the inci-dent could not give me satisfactory ex-planations on the eourse of the event.And consequently it mignt be too

hastly to make any comment underthese insuMcient materials on this case. 4

In these dayswhen the choice of university tends tobe decided under the consideration ofemployment fir6t and not by the mottoof the sehool,`or founder's spirit, it isonly natural that students do not fee1proper respect for their founder. Manystudents. it seems to me, do not know,how great our founder was until theyspend a year or two in the campus.Jn this point, he is an unfortunatestudent who accidentally appeared out-side, and it is easi!y imagined that there

are many other potential students wholose their dignity as Keio students.pag,u,#.ffgi,ng.f,i6o.m,tLh.at.,:h,,e.,2acu.i,ty,,ig'"

student in the interview could notpossibly be thought of as that of aKeio student. It is said that he was M-just like a knave of the street to makethe faculty give up any hope of lead-ing him to beeome a good Keio student.

Although he has been expelled fromschool as not worthy of getting edud-eation in Keio University, I am verydoubtful it the policy our school hastaken was right and I only feel it re-grettable that it serves nothing but toruin the life of a would-be librarian.

We, the Japanese, are gemuses butwe should not teel proud of the fact,Sor our genius hes m imitation. Need-less to say, imitation is not alwayswrong or stupid, for it cannot be deniedthat it plays an important role in theadvancement of culture. In a sense,imitation is almost necessary t'or anytearning whatsoever to travei from oneplace to another. But we must re-member that there is always a taintattached to the imitator just as thereis a taint attached to the thief, '

There is an aneedote used in Europeto pdint out the imitative instinct andthe slyness of the Japanese people.The story conceiTns a Japanese techni--cian who visited a German gunpowerfactory and, on the pretext of samplmga 1)arrel of the powder, managed toget some particles under his finger-nails. The faet that he brought thissmall bit of ehemical back to Japan,started the first Japanese manufactureof gunpower and explosives. "HLghMorality Does Not Arise from Imita-tion."

One instinetively ieels proud ofsomething which he has thought about,has personally devised, and finally per-fected after surmourinng countless dif-ficulties, for confidence is certainly oneof the outstanding producbs of erea-tion, When a tihing created is notamachine, nor a tangible invention, butrather a soeial structure or a political

system, the peDple who make it, andlabour over it, and !ive by it, will notdoubt it, for they themselves devised it.Something copied, how good it mayseem to be in its natural habitmt, willalways be vievLTed with doubt. This isthe true tragedy of imhetien Whenapeople make their natiomal 1ife pat-tern and culture a eepy of those ofsome other nations, there wil1 emergea spirit lacking in confidence and aseif-conseious weakness. This weak-ness will be evident in diplomacy tothe point where, eventualiy the coun-try will allow itself to be led aroundlike a child by the very nation it hascopied. There could be no better casein point than pre.war Japan. Hersabre-rattling then was actually a bluffto hide her weakeness. As a result,Japan allowed herself to be led byHitler's Germany, she bluffed toemuch, and her bluff was eal!edr Allthat had been thought to be great andall that had been copied eame to ruin."Self-eonfidence Does Not Arise fromlmitation." Sad to say, imitation has beeome ournational habit. Worse to say, gur peo-ple seem to ignore the fact. But thisvery imitation is leading us to an ex-tremely low moral standard, and a lackof self-confldenee. In short, if it isallowed to continue at ks present rate,it may very easily eause the ultirnatedownfall of japan. "Ari Excellent Na.tion Can Not Arise from Imitation."
