He came to help found the Sapporo Agricultural College, which later became Hokkaido University. He stayed in Japan for less than a year, but his influence lasted long after he left. He taught science, agriculture and independent thinking to a young group of Japanese students. When he departed in 1877, he is said to have turned on horseback and given them a short farewell: \u003ci\u003e\"Boys, be ambitious!\" \u003c\/i\u003eThose words are still a motto for generations of Japanese students today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Nib\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe centerpiece of this limited edition is its custom-engraved \u003cb\u003e14K gold nib\u003c\/b\u003e.

Long exposure to direct sunlight or UV light can slowly fade or oxidize the surface. Store the pen out of the sun when you're not using it, and clean it with lukewarm water only. Avoid alcohol and harsh chemicals. New ebonite may have a faint, natural rubber scent at first.
