Excerpt from Class of 1869, Rutgers College: History to 1916
I count among my highest achievements under God - service for my country in the 44th Penna. Regt. At 19 years of age. The introduction into Japan of technical schools,'thus honoring manual labor; the influence of my special studies as to the part played by Holland in the making of the American nation; the instilling of correct notions as to Japanese civilization; the erection of 17 historical tablets, in Schenectady, Ithaca, and the Nether lands. Reverencing historic truth as highly as religious truth, or any' other sort or phase of truth, I have tried to do justice to the influence of the Dutch Republic on the formation of the American commonwealth (ignored by most American histriographers); to help Orientals and Occidentals to understand and appreciate each other, to-do absolute justice in my writings to men of every creed, color, race, and civilization; to be a Christian and to serve my fellowmen. March 4, Data given and what is here quoted and written on the 50th anniversary of entrance as pioneer educator in Fukui, Echizen, Interior Japan. G. W. L.
