Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Third Annual Report of Sapporo Agricultural College, Japan, 1879
Application was made to the War Department for the nomination of an officer of the Japanese army for instructor in Military Tactics, to which position Lieu tenant Kato Shigeto was recommended and duly appointed.
The frequent solicitations of the Colonial Depart ment, for engineering services, to which, from the first of my employment, I had been subject, - though formerly acceded to in a large measure, -i have been compelled during the past year to decline, in the face of my enlarged duty in behalf of the College. In accordance therefore with a proposition of Your Excel leney and the Director of the College, my appointment to the additional office of Civil Engineer to the Depart ment was determined upon, and Mr. C. H. Peabody was immediately engaged to take active charge of the department of Mathematics and Civil Engineering.
Prof. Peabody, beside receiving three years instruo tion in Massachusetts Agricultural College, was graduated at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the department of Mechanical Engineering.
