The Rutgers Graduates In Japan is a historical book written by William Elliot Griffis and published in 1916. It is a detailed account of the experiences of a group of Rutgers University graduates who traveled to Japan in the late 1800s. The book provides a unique perspective on Japanese culture and society during this time period, as the graduates were able to observe and interact with the local people in a way that few Westerners had at the time. The author, who was himself an expert on Japan and its culture, provides insightful commentary on the graduates’ experiences and the impact that their time in Japan had on their lives and careers. The book also includes photographs and illustrations that help to bring the story to life, making it an engaging and informative read for anyone interested in Japanese history or culture. Overall, The Rutgers Graduates In Japan is a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in the relationship between Japan and the West, and a testament to the enduring power of cross-cultural exchange.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
