A Sketch Of The Life Of Reverend Joseph Hardy Neesima: President Of Doshisha University, Kyoto is a biographical book written by Jerome Dean Davis in 1894. The book chronicles the life of Reverend Joseph Hardy Neesima, who was a prominent figure in the field of education in Japan during the late 19th century. Neesima was born in Japan in 1843, and as a young boy, he was sent to study in the United States. There, he converted to Christianity and became a minister. He returned to Japan in 1874 and founded Doshisha University in Kyoto, which became one of the most prestigious universities in the country. The book provides a detailed account of Neesima's life, including his struggles as a young boy in Japan, his experiences in the United States, and his work as a minister and educator in Japan. It also explores the cultural and political climate of Japan during the time period, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the challenges Neesima faced in his efforts to bring western-style education to Japan.
