brought immediately to the minds of
the older members of the
fraternity the
names of some Nipponese who had
been initiated into Phi Gamma
Delta
prior to the turn of the century
when
Orientals were made no longer eligible
for membership. (Most of the
oldline national fraternities have
Japanese
names on their rosters.)
PRESIDENT OF TOKYO GAS
Probably the best-known Japanese
Fiji is Seikichi Iwasaki (
Yale '89),
who has been the president of
the
Tokyo Gas Company and who was a
character witness for James R. Young
(Johns Hopkins '25) when the
famed
foreign correspondent was on trial for
unfriendly writings in Tokvo
years ago.
The files of THE PHI
DELTA show that in July, 1897,
Iwasaki wrote to the late T.
Vernon (Yale '75), saving, in
"Yours of successive mail were

pecially glad to hear that our irate

Of his visit to Yale, to whose or
