Biographical Note
Agero Nosei (1852-1895), native of Tokigawa Shogunate in Japan, was a 1876 graduate of Pacific University. Nosei came to the United States in 1870 and returned to Japan following his graduation from the university. In Japan he worked in the education field, as as professor and principal of various schools. He also served in the ministry of education and spent the last few years of his life writing and publishing various educational works.
Pacific University was one of the first univesities in the United States to grant degrees to students from Japan. In 1891 the university awarded Nosei an honorary master of arts.
