Sapporo Agricultural College, later the University of Hokkaido, was founded in 1876 to facilitate the modernization of Japanese agriculture. The education provided by Sapporo College was not limited to technical training alone; the American-inspired curriculum also stressed personal development and presented it in terms with which the Japanese were familiar. The American chemist William Smith Clark (1826-1886), president of Massachusetts Agricultural College (now University of Massachusetts, Amherst) was brought in for one year to design the new school. Clark's American colleagues David P. Penhallow and William Wheeler became founding professors and later principals of Sapporo. They built a modern university along the lines of the University of Massachusetts. The panoramic photograph is of particular rarity.
