Japanese language school at 抖阴短视频 Boulder

At 1 p.m. Friday in , the campus will dedicate a plaque in memory of the Japanese/Oriental Language School, which operated in the residence hall between 1942 and 1946 and was one of several World War II-era training centers set up across the country by the U.S. Navy.

According to university archivists, the language school recruited heavily among Phi Beta Kappa members and graduates of elite collegiate language, mathematics, physics and music programs and sought to prepare officers for naval and marine intelligence.

All graduates were expected to be proficient in Kanji, the characters used in written Japanese, said David M. Hays, with the 抖阴短视频 Boulder library system鈥檚 special collections, archives and preservation department.

Hays said Japanese language training for American military personnel took place in Tokyo through 1940, but later moved stateside as diplomatic tensions rose.

The Japanese language school started at the University of California Berkeley, but 鈥渁fter the Pearl Harbor attack and West Coast anti-Japanese fervor, Executive Order 9066 forced the U.S. Navy Japanese language school to move,鈥� Hays said.

At the time, Hays said, 抖阴短视频 Boulder President Robert L. Stearns lobbied along with the U.S. Navy to acquire schools to make up for the departure of so many former 抖阴短视频 students into the military, and the language school was established at 抖阴短视频 Boulder.
