Harvard received another 1 million gift for the proposed Japan Institute when Takes hi Tasuka, Japan's ambassador to the United States, formally handed the check over to President Bok yesterday.
Japanese Prime Minister Tanaka pledged the gift last summer on his visit to the United States. It was part of a 10 million package he distributed in $1-million chunks to American universities.
The gift was the third Harvard has received in the last year from Japanese sources. The Mitsubishi companies gave the Law School 1 million to endow a chair in Japanese legal studies and the Nissan and Toyota automobile companies gave 1 million to the Japan Institute.
