Dear fir. Harriman:
I am writing t? tell you about a matter of which I
think you ought to have knowledge because of your interest
in our future relations with Japan. It is a small thing in
a way but something for which I feel that our Government owes
a great debt to Messrs. Frank L. Boyden and Frank E. Bogues
of Deerfield.
As you know, Count Kabayama of Oiso, Japan, has
devoted most of his eighty-four years to the development of
better cultural and economic relations between our two countries.
I believe that he is one of the oldest living graduates of
Amherst and his son was also educated in this country. Two
years ago last fall his grandson'fVori was sent to this country
and taken by Mr. Boyden into Deerfield Academy, even though
there were no dollars to finance his education or other needs.
Summers he worked as a farmhand and gardener and last June was
entered as a freshman at Amherst. Nori had little background
in English when he arrived in this country and Mr. Bogues spent
many long hours in tutoring him. However., in his first year
at Amherst he was assigned both English and'History courses
-and in the examinations dust completed was not quite able to
meet their high scholastic standard in these two subjects and
has been dropped from Amherst.
Normally, this, of course, would mean that Nori would
have to return to Japan, having failed in his mission. Mr. Boyden,
who is familiar with both the affairs and minds of the Oriental
people, knew that, through his lifetime efforts, Count Kabayama
':.had become a symbol to the Japanese people of American-Japanese
relations. He knew that it was known in Japan that Nori had been
sent to this country, without adequate training or financial
support, as a sort of offering at the altar of American-Japanese
friendship. He knew of the difficult negotiations now being
conducted over future American-Japanese relations and he knew,
above all other things, what a loss of face and prestige, which
a return of the boy, under these circumstances, wound mean to
a man who is regarded among influential Japanese as being

identified, perhaps more than any other Japanese, with the
United States. He did nat know that the very day T am
wrf.ting this letter Count Kabayama, as President of the
American-Japanese 5aciety, is giving a dinner in Tokyo in
honor of fir. Dulles and in furtherance of American-Japanese
friendship.
Yesterday 1 received a telephone ca11 from
Mr. Boyden from :~eerfield, in which he said that, although
he could 111 afford it, he would take NQrl back to Deerfield
for the coming semester and that fir. Bogues will continue
helping him Stith his study of English and in June they
would explore the possibility of obtaining Norms readmis-
sion to Amherst or some other college.
I think we all owe a very ,great debt to
~dessrs. Boyden and Bogues of Deerfield Academy.
Sincerely yours,
