| "No excuse is acceptable, no amount of effort adequate until
it is effective." Anonymous 'The world is positively hungry for young men who have dedicated themselves to big jobs. If your present professors aren't training you for such work, quit them and find others who will drive you. If your present college isn't making you work to the limit of your ability, drop out and go to another that will. Because if you don't discipline your brain now, you'll never be prepared for the years when it's a question of work or perish.' |

Each summer, in conjunction with the University of Kentucky Japanese Studies Program, I lead a group of students on a 5-6 week trip to Yatsushiro City, Kumamoto Ken, in Kyushu, Japan. The first three weeks are spent in Yatsushiro, using the facilities of the ITC Senmongakkou, taking field trips to surrounding islands and volcanoes as time and weather permits. The last portion of the trip is spent traveling by rail around Japan to points of interest, from Kyushu to Hokkaido.
