In the evening of the 14th<\/sup>, Fukui University held an online joint class with its academic exchange partner, Rutgers University of America.\u00a0 Rutgers is the alma mater of the American teacher W. E. Griffis (1843-1928) who was invited by the Fukui Domain in the beginning of the Meiji Era (1868-1912).\u00a0 The students of Fukui, who are currently engaged in online learning due to COVID-19, participated from their homes. With much enthusiasm, the students exchanged their opinions about the relationship between Griffis and Fukui and his achievements as they furthered their learning.<\/p>\n Students of Rutgers University shared their online exhibition and presented their findings on the relationship between Fukui and Griffis. They explained in detail using various sources, such as Griffis\u2019 schedule of classes and a photograph of a student in Fukui studying. During the discussion, they asked each other questions like \u201cWhy did you think of studying about Griffis?\u201d<\/p>\n Tanaka Miori of Fukui University said, \u201cIt was very meaningful having an exchange among people who were drawn to Griffis.\u00a0 I would like to learn from the research done by Rutgers students. It was also nice to know that they became fascinated by Fukui through Griffis.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
