 note = {Henry Dyer (1848-1918) was invited to Japan from Scotland to be the Principal at the Imperial College of Engineering, Tokyo, during 1873 and 1882, and was the founder of engineering education in Japan. Among students, he had been said to be a “self-made man, the son of a foundry laborer. I shall focus on this remark in this paper.   After closely analyzing such materials as the Census, Selections from Testimonials edited by Dyer, which cover his childhood and studies, and Glasgow University Class Catalogues and Glasgow University Album, I have ascertained the following points regarding the first half of his life – his family line, places where he lived, and educational history.  First, Dyer’s father was from Ireland, but emigrated to Glasgow in search of better work and a better life. His occupation listed in the Census was “foundry laborer” or “engine fitter”. He was an unskilled laborer who worked for relatively low wages. He worked for Shotts Iron Works and changed residences many times while looking for new jobs.  Second, while growing up in such a living environment, Dyer showed an interest in furthering himself, and he did an apprenticeship at the James Aitken & Co. foundry. Thanks to Scotland’s progressive and democratic educational system, he was able to take advantage early of the opportunity to study. First, he studied at the primary school attached to the Shotts Iron Works and achieved high grades. Then, during his apprenticeship, he took evening courses for workers at Anderson’s College (today the University of Strathclyde). Also studying in the same course was Yozo Yamao from Japan, a man seeking knowledge and experience to lead Japan’s industrailization. It is this connection that later benefitted Dyer’s successful management and curriculum development of the Imperial College of Engineering, Tokyo. He achieved this full support from Yamao, who happened to be a high official of the Public Works Ministry.  Third, after completing his hands-on training as an apprentice, Dyer entered the University of Glasgow as a full-time student in 1868, leading an exemplary academic life. The first half of his five years of study during 1868-1873 he devoted to the natural sciences, and the latter half to a wide range of studies in the humanities. He won many awards for his stellar academic performance, and after receiving a scholarship, was able to continue to devote himself to studies. Among his achievements was winning the prestigious Whitworth Scholarship, given to financially needy prospective engineering students to allow them to continue on to higher education. Both in his apprenticeship and at university, Dyer’s record was nothing short of top honors material. In recognition of this scholarship, and upon the recommendation of his mentor, Professor W. J. M. Rankine, he was dispatched as the Principal of the Imperial College of Engineering in Tokyo, receiving high praise from his recommender for his character, talent and academic record.  In a word, “Henry Dyer’s family origins were humble and his background was not one of wealth or privilege.” But his superior scholastic achievements and dispositions landed him a scholarship, and coupled with evening courses at Anderson’s College, he was able to matriculate as a full-time student at the University of Glasgow. He had also gained practical training and experience through an apprenticeship. Henry Dyer was truly a self-made man., 国立情報学研究所で電子化したコンテンツを使用している。},
