FROM WIKIPEDIA: August Karl Reischauer born September 4, 1879; died July 10, 1971) was an American Presbyterian missionary, best known for his work in Japan. August Karl Reischauer was born in Jonesboro, Illinois. He graduated from Hanover College in 1902 and from McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago in 1905 before going to Japan. His interest in the relationship of Christianity to the other religions led to the publication "Studies in Japanese Buddhism" in 1917. He also worked on eliminating duplication of missionary activities and consolidating the church seminaries. In 1918 he founded the Tokyo Woman’s Christian University and in 1920, together with his wife, the school for the deaf and mute “Nihon Rowa Gakko” Reischauer left Japan in 1941 and taught for a number of years Comparative Religious Studies at Union Theological Seminary in New York City.
