Baron Kikuchi Dairoku (菊池 大麓 , 17 March 1855 – 19 August 1917) was a Japanese mathematician, educator, and education administrator during the Meiji era . After earning degrees in mathematics and physics from St John's College at the University of Cambridge , he became one of the first Japanese professors of mathematics at the University of Tokyo . Later in his life, he served as president of the University of Tokyo, Kyoto University , Gakushuin , and the Riken Institute .
Biography
[ edit ]
Early life and family
[ edit ]
Kikuchi was born in Edo (present-day Tokyo ), as the second son of Mitsukuri Shūhei , a professor at Bansho Shirabesho , himself the adopted son of Mitsukuri Gempo, a Shogunate professor. The Mitsukuri family had distinguished themselves as scholars, and were at the centre of Japan's educational system in the Meiji era. His grandfather had been a student of Dutch studies ("rangaku") .
Kikuchi Dairoku changed his surname from Mitsukuri to Kikuchi upon succeeding as the heir to his father's original family; the requisite legal procedures were completed in 1877.[1]
Education
[ edit ]
After attending the Bansho Shirabesho , the Shogunal institute for western studies, he was sent to Great Britain, in 1866, at age 11, the youngest of a group of Japanese sent by the Tokugawa shogunate to the University College School , on the advice of the then British foreign minister Edward Stanley, 15th Earl of Derby .
Kikuchi returned to England in 1870 and was the first Japanese student to graduate from the University of Cambridge (St. John's College ) and the only one to graduate from the University of London in the 19th century.[2] His specialisation was in physics and mathematics. In 1884 he attended the International Meridian Conference in Washington, D.C., and the master class of Kelvin in Baltimore .
Career
[ edit ]
After returning to Japan, Kikuchi later became president of Tokyo Imperial University , Minister of Education (1901–1903) and president of Kyoto Imperial University . In 1909 he lectured in London on Japanese Education[3] and 1910 at New York on New Japan: Its Intellectual and Moral Development.[4]
His textbook on elementary geometry was the most widely used geometry textbook in Japan until the end of World War II .
Kikuchi was made a baron under the kazoku peerage system in 1902 and was the eighth president of the Gakushūin Peers' School. In 1917 he became the first president of RIKEN , but died that same year.
Family and issue
[ edit ]
Kikuchi's children became well-known scientists, and his grandson Minobe Ryōkichi became governor of Tokyo.
