2. "The Todai–Yale Initiative and the History of Japanese Scholars at Yale"
"An interesting case study is the lesser known
Japanese scientist Kimura Shunkichi, a graduate
student at Yale in the mid-1880s. Kimura is
one of a few students whose dissertations were
supervised by Yale’s most eminent physicist
and polymath Josiah Willard Gibbs. Though
largely unnoticed in the United States, Gibbs’s
theories on statistical mechanics and thermodynamics
were intensely followed by British
and European physicists such as James Clerk
Maxwell and Max Planck. After graduation,
Kimura returned to Japan and eventually joined
the navy, where he worked on the development
and improvement of wireless telecommunication
devices. These devices played a significant
role in Japan’s victory over Russia in the Battle
of Tsushima in 1905."
