This is the remake of the one of the greatest cashes in the Hokkaido University Campus.
Forerunner of Hokkaido University, first vice-principal, William Smith Dr. Clark the founder of the Sapporo agricultural school preached Christianity and reclamation mind and gave students big influence which is felt even now throw his legacy and famous catchphrase Boys be ambitions.
Now he is known much better in Hokkaido Japan than in his home country USA.
The gentle rising and falling green tract of lands from the place that passed the south gate to the left hand since I enter to Hokkaido University Chuuo St. call the front gate with center loan, and there are 12,000 square meters in area. Negative contrast lets the bright green of the lawn become more attractive with sunlight to shed from the grove, and it is it with the one of the areas symbolizing gathering Hokkaido University campus of Hokkaido University student in the summer. At the northwest corner of the central loan, there is the William S Clark bust which is the one of the symbols of Hokkaido University. The first generation of this Clark bust was produced by the collection from the Hokkaido University inside and outside as a part of the 50th anniversary Hokkaido University wound basis memory business (1926) in 1926 by sculptor Sekiro Tajima . It is the designer of the Hokkaido University botanical garden, and, to a pedestal, huge water lily - Victoria regia of the Amazon autochthonism which was a chance that Dr. Clark becomes a botanist / an agriculturist by the suggestion of first director and Kingo Miyabe that it was it is designed with a signature of BOYS BE AMBITIOUS of too famous Dr. Clark. However, in 1943, the first bust has been melted down by metal collection law in the Pacific Wars. The current bust was cast again soon after the war in 1948 by sculptor Kensei Kato. Mr.Tajima had already died, but, fortunately, a model remained and was stored in Sapporo independence church, this model allowed to restore the sculpture. An unveiling ceremony is held on October 8, 1948 and reaches it at the present.
