Abstract ST. LUKE’S COLLEGE OF NURSING, TOKYO, JAPAN: THE INTERSECTIONS OF AN EPISCOPAL CHURCH MISSION PROJECT, ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION PHILANTHROPY, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF NURSING IN JAPAN, 1918-1941. Kathleen M. Nishida, MSN, CNM Patricia D’ Antonio PhD, RN, FAAN The leadership at St. Luke’s International Hospital and its nurse training program were very vocal about being a state of the art medical facility that sought through its nurse training program to raise the quality of nursing education and practice in Japan. They very clearly sought to reproduce American styled nursing education at St. Luke’s. To achieve this they brought nurses from the United States to teach and manage the nurse training program and brought Japanese nurses from Japan to the United States for post graduate studies and observation experiences. This study examines the tensions that exist at the intersections of a foreign Episcopal Church mission project, Rockefeller Foundation philanthropy, and the development of nursing in Japan. This study uses historical methodology and is a transnational study. A theory of Critical Transnational Feminism (CTF) is used to consider issues of race, class, and gender at St. Luke’s International Hospital and School of Nursing in Tokyo, Japan in the early twentieth century. The collaboration between Japanese nurses, physicians, and board members with American missionary nurses and doctors to lead and develop a world class medical center and school of nursing provides an opportunity to probe issues of power based on gender, race, and class. The CTF lens calls attention to the tendency of transnational history to often be Western-centric and has provided a framework to go deeper into an equitable representation of transnational studies. This study has found that lay medical missionaries prioritized their professional goals over the Christianizing goals of the church. The study reveals that power in the transnational space was a shifting and contested quality. Although Japanese and American actors at St. Luke’s talked about cultural diplomacy the relationships that they had were still hierarchical across race, gender and professional boundaries. Nursing at St. Luke’s represented progressive professionalization movements for women for both Japanese and American nurses. Nurses who traveled had elite social opportunities because of the associations that they had in their international work. Finally, St. Luke’s was uniquely positioned to develop public health nursing in Japan and they had significant impact in that area.

COPYRIGHT 2016 Kathleen Mary Nishida Dedicated to: My daughter Isabel Louise Nishida who was with me every step of the way. And to the memories of the nurses who traveled between Japan and the United States to develop St. Luke’s College of Nursing. You have become like friends to me and I wish I could meet you at the train with a smile and a laugh. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENT First and foremost I would like to thank my committee chair and advisor Dr. Patricia D’Antonio who from the time we first met via email communications regarding my interest in the history of nursing has always taken the time to give me guidance and constructive feedback. Despite an intensely busy schedule and her many commitments at the School of Nursing and at home, she has always made room for me in a way that we both take very seriously and yet is also warm and friendly. I am extremely grateful to my committee members Dr. Barbra Mann Wall and Dr. Eiichiro Azuma who have guided this dissertation thesis with thoughtful advice in their areas of expertise, by directing me towards excellent resources, and by giving constructive feedback during exams. Thank you sincerely to my dissertation readers Dr. Cynthia Connolly and Dr. Kimberly Trout. During my time at Penn, the School of Nursing has been a beloved community for me to live and grow in. The Bates Center for the Study of the History of Nursing has been my home, and the faculty and students there, like my family. I want to acknowledge Dr. Julie Fairman, Dr. Jean Whelan, Tiffany Collier, and Elisa Stroh, faculty and staff members at the Center. To my fellow history students Linda Maldonado, Katharine Smith, Briana Ralston, Amanda Mahoney, and Hafeeza Anchrum, you have made this journey colorful with your friendship and support. I have especially fond memories of my original cohort that started in the fall of 2010 but also made friends in some of the classes before and after. I have especially appreciated the friendship and support of Max and Leah Topaz, Youjeong Kang, Susan Malone, Ruth Masterson Creber, Olga Jarrin, Therese Waite, Lisa Hilmi, Timothy Sowicz and Ashley Ritter. To my husband Wataru and my daughter Isabel I give great thanks for your sacrifices, love and support. I wish to thank my mother Kathleen and my parents –in- law Naoki and Hiroko as they too provided support on many occasions. A special thanks to my father-in-law for his interest in my study and help with research in Japan. We had some special times together with this work and that will always be a treasure to me. Love and thanks go out to the rest of our family as well, both in Japan and the United States. Essential to this study was access to archival resources and the support of their staffs. Specifically I would like to thank, in the United States, Tom Rosenbaum at the Rockefeller Archive Center, Elizabeth Lawson of New York Presbyterian Cornell-Weill Archive Center, and Sarah Dana of the Episcopal Church Archives. In Japan, I would like to thank Dean Hishinuma Michiko, Hatakeyama Komaki, and Watanabe Hisako at St. Luke’s College of Nursing; Toyoda Masayuki at Rikkyo Gakuin Archives; and Kakuda Ayumi at the Japanese Red Cross Society. A special thanks to Yumiko Miwa Moseley who provided me with translation services in Japan. I would like to acknowledge my gratitude for the financial support for my doctoral education by the University Of Pennsylvania School Of Nursing. In addition, scholarships and fellowships have contributed to research and travel funds. On that account I would like to thank the Lillian Brunner Sholtis Fellowship; Sigma Theta Tau International, Xi Chapter; The Episcopal Women’s History Project; the Office of Nursing Research and GAPSA at the University of Pennsylvania; as well as the Research Institute of the Cultural Humanities for their support. iv Finally, I would like to thank my current colleagues in clinical practice for their friendship and support as I finish the dissertation process. Warm thanks goes out to Megan Gilbert, Becca Choitz, Melissa Naser, Shwetha Shrivatsa, Laura Fish, and all of our support staff. I could not have completed this project without the support of my dear friend and spiritual advisor Sara Macro Forrest. A shout out to my sweet pets Chico, Hector, Hippy Chic, Zeus and Houston for their daily love. v ABSTRACT ST.

Nurse A British nurse caring for a baby in 2006 Occupation Names Nurse Occupation type Healthcare professional Activity sectors Nursing, Health care Description Competencies Caring for general well-being of patients Education required Qualifications in terms of statutory regulations according to national, state, or provincial legislation in each country Nursing is a profession within the health care sector focused on the care of individuals, families, and communities so they may attain, maintain, or recover optimal health and quality of life. Nurses may be differentiated from other health care providers by their approach to patient care, training, and scope of practice. Nurses practice in a wide diversity of practice areas with a different scope of practice and level of prescriber authority in each. Many nurses provide care within the ordering scope of physicians, and this traditional role has come to shape the historic public image of nurses as care providers. However, nurses are permitted by most jurisdictions to practice independently in a variety of settings depending on training level. In the postwar period, nurse education has undergone a process of diversification towards advanced and specialized credentials, and many of the traditional regulations and provider roles are changing. Nurses develop a plan of care, working collaboratively with physicians, therapists, the patient, the patient's family and other team members, that focuses on treating illness to improve quality of life. In the U.S. (and increasingly the United Kingdom), advanced practice nurses, such as clinical nurse specialists and nurse practitioners, diagnose health problems and prescribe medications and other therapies, depending on individual state regulations.

Francis Lerow, Bishop Ordinary The Way of Holiness Now that we have made our way from Advent to the Nativity we are challenged as to what to do with this baby. Of course we know from Scripture that the world would not receive Him. Though there were stars in the East, Wise Men bearing gifts and all of heaven looking down upon us, the world turned its back as if this was just any child born into the world. But here we have it “the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.” Wow! God was born into the world in the flesh. That is just like you and me. He comes with a heart, ten fingers and ten toes and even hair. He was born into the cold night of Winter with no heater to keep Him warm, only a loving mother with some swaddling clothes. As I think about it I am amazed of how much He was like us, and yet comes to us with the fullness of grace and truth. I suspect grace means He comes in the “uncreated energy of God.” That is a forceful, never-ending compassion and love that redeems the soul. His truth is that which assures us that He will live up to His promises.

  • The Role of Medicine in the Construction of a Modern Japanese Identity, 1868-1912 Disse
    Science, Nurses, Physicians and Disease: The Role of Medicine in the Construction of a Modern Japanese Identity, 1868-1912 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Roberto Ramon Padilla II Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: James Bartholomew, Advisor Cynthia Brokaw Philip Brown Copyright by Roberto Ramon Padilla II 2009 Abstract This is a history of the emergence of a modern Japanese identity in the latter half of the nineteenth century as seen through the lens of scientific medicine. This study makes the argument that Japanese physicians’ construction of a modern identity was a two-fold process that identified Japan in line with Western imperialism and Western fields of knowledge, while conceptually distancing the island nation from nearby Asian neighbors. This perspective, which reflected the growing understanding among Japanese of their country’s emerging place in the world in the Meiji era (1868-1912), occurred within the context of the broad social, political, economic and military reforms that defined this period. Western medicine based on the rational proofs and perceived universality of scientific inquiry, positioned Japanese physicians as agents of modernity. I examine the way scientific medicine informed Japanese modernity in two ways: I begin by looking at how the Japanese Red Cross Society nurse came to be perceived as a national heroine, then I explain the Japanese Army Medical Bureau’s struggle to prevent beriberi, a nutritional deficiency illness in its ranks. These case studies offer a window into the interplay between modern medicine and traditional social values and underscore the reality that a field of knowledge is not adopted, but rather adapted and negotiated.

McDonald, Verlaine Stoner McDonald. Paul Rusch in Postwar Japan: Evangelism, Rural Development, and the Battle against Communism. Lexington: University Press of Kentucky, 2018. 288 pp. $50.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-8131-7607-9. Reviewed by Aiko Takeuchi-Demirci (Stanford University)Published on H-Diplo (June, 2019) Commissioned by Seth Offenbach (Bronx Community College, The City University of New York) Printable Version: http://www.h-net.org/reviews/showpdf.php?id=53716 Paul Frederick Rusch was an American Episcopalian missionary, army officer, and social entrepreneur who spent much of his life in Japan with the goal to implant the spirit of Christian democracy there during the tumultuous twentieth century. He left lasting legacies in Japan, not necessarily in religious ways, but mostly in the practical fields of agricultural development, international aid, and sports. Rusch is perhaps mostly remembered in Japan as the “Father of [American] Football,” but his legacy also lives on in the form of the Kiyosato Educational Experiment Project (KEEP), a rural development and self-help program to aid Japan’s impoverished highland residents.[1] Journalist and scholar couple Andrew T. McDonald and Verlaine Stoner McDonald depict the extraordinary and complicated life story of Paul Rusch in their new book,Paul Rusch in Postwar Japan: Evangelism, Rural Development, and the Battle against Communism. A few biographies about Rusch have already appeared, namely Elizabeth Anne Hemphill’s The Road to KEEP: The Story of Paul Rusch in Japan (1970) and Toshiyuki Ijiri’s Paul Rusch: The Story of KEEP and What a Man with Vision Can Do (1991).

  • A Public Service of Healing
    A Public Service of Healing The Feast of Channing Moore Williams Bishop and Missionary, 1910 December 2, 2020 The Word of God Presider: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. People: And also with you. Let us pray. After a period of silence, the Minister then says the following Collects. Gracious God, we commend to your loving care all who suffer, especially those who come here seeking your healing grace for themselves and for others. Give them patience and hope in their distress; strengthen and uphold them in mind and body; and grant, by your intervention, that all your people may be made whole according to your desire, through Jesus Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen O God, who in your providence called Channing Moore Williams to the ministry of this church and gave him the gifts and the perseverance to preach the Gospel in new lands: Inspire us, by his example and prayers, to commit our talents to your service, confident that you uphold those whom you call; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. The Epistle Acts 1:1-9 In the first book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning until the day when he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. After his suffering he presented himself alive to them by many convincing proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.

These relations evolved under conditions in which both countries understood and valued the need for cooperation, but also were aware of its limits and the dangers of too close a partnership. U.S. security dealings with Saudi Arabia are an extreme, perhaps unique, case of how security ties unfolded under conditions in which sensitivities to those ties were always a central —oftentimes dominating—consideration. This was especially true in the most delicate area of military assistance. Distinct patterns of behavior by the two countries emerged as a result, patterns that continue to this day. This dissertation examines the first twenty years of the U.S.-Saudi military assistance relationship. It seeks to identify the principal factors responsible for how and why the military assistance process evolved as it did, focusing on the objectives and constraints of both U.S.

  • Enterprise Report Restoring Liberty, Opportunity, and Enterprise in America
    Issue No. 1, Winter 2016 Enterprise Report Restoring Liberty, Opportunity, and Enterprise in America Security and Free Enterprise at Home and Abroad By AEI President Arthur Brooks AEI Chairman Tully Friedman, my colleagues Michael Auslin and Daniel Blumenthal, and I recently returned from a trip to Singapore and Tokyo. We met with a variety of government and business leaders and exchanged ideas about free enterprise, entrepreneurship, and security. We also had the honor of meeting with the prime minister of Singapore and the prime minister of Japan. Japan is not only one of America’s most important allies but also the oldest democracy in Asia. It plays a pivotal role in maintaining stability in the region, particularly in the face of Chinese aggrandizement. Japan’s security is of prime importance to the United States, and American leadership in the region is crucial. Regrettably, despite an increasingly brazen China and a volatile North Korea, we are not hearing much from today’s presidential candidates about how to maintain regional stability. A major new AEI report tackles these issues head-on, along with a revanchist Russia and the ruthless Islamic State. Titled Why American Leader- ship Still Matters and developed through a bipartisan effort led by former Sens. Jon Kyl and Joseph Lieberman, the report explains why the world needs more—not less—leadership from the United States. See page 3 for more on this report. While in Singapore, I had the opportunity to speak with students at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. I focused on the message that capitalism is the best way to help the poorest among us.
