Do We Need
a Clark?
Transformation of the Polish System of Higher Education After 1989
Dariusz
Kołodziejczyk
Having
arrived in Sapporo, I was shocked by the omnipresence of monuments
dedicated to Dr. William Clark, the co-founder of the Sapporo
Agricultural College that was later to become Hokkaido University.The
striking number of his monuments, encountered not only on the campus
but throughout the city, called to my mind those of Atatürk in the
Republic of Turkey and especially its university campuses. Yet, there
was one notable difference: Atatürk was not a foreigner.
