Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Chicago, 1997.

This dissertation argues that a long-term shift in educational emphasis from teaching the values of literary civilization to cultivating expertise occurred within the government schools of Edo-Tokyo. Under Tokugawa rule, values of literary civilization were taught to encourage discipline within the class of hereditarily-qualified office holders. Later, experts upon Western commodities and scholarship emerged in Edo and began to open schools. By the mid-Tokugawa period, civilizing education was well-established and the cultivation of expertise was beginning to emerge as well.

520 $a This dissertation argues that a long-term shift in educational emphasis from teaching the values of literary civilization to cultivating expertise occurred within the government schools of Edo-Tokyo. Under Tokugawa rule, values of literary civilization were taught to encourage discipline within the class of hereditarily-qualified office holders. Later, experts upon Western commodities and scholarship emerged in Edo and began to open schools. By the mid-Tokugawa period, civilizing education was well-established and the cultivation of expertise was beginning to emerge as well.
520 $a Change in educational emphasis accelerated from the 1850's, and especially following the Meiji Ishin (1868). The overthrow of bakufu rule brought an unusual reversal as the anti-bakufu coalition sought to develop the politically-representative functions of scholarship. This attempt to unify politics and scholarship failed, and the schools were subsequently reorganized to cultivate expertise in Western techniques to the exclusion of the older civilizing, humanistic education. Consolidation of the government schools as Tokyo University in 1877 brought continued emphasis upon introducing new forms of expertise, although humanistic study began to be gradually reintroduced to the curriculum.
520 $a The long-term shift in educational emphasis is also correlated with changes in the schools' institutional form and function to government bureaucracy. The schools began as storehouses of texts and patronized scholars, developing as waystations for bureaucratic candidates lacking office and for domainal students. By the Meiji Era, the schools had developed into centers for academic activities such as publication by experts often possessing national reputation. Under the Meiji reforms, the schools' supervisory role over education was initially strengthened and then delegated to the Ministry of Education, leaving the schools to concentrate upon developing new forms of expertise. Despite this narrowing of purpose, the university was gradually forced onto the stage of national politics. New nationalist epistemologies in the social sciences were introduced, and university scholars began to enter public debate as experts in many areas. The study of law developed rapidly at Tokyo University, making the university the foremost supplier of candidates for bureaucratic office. Thus by the 1880's the government schools had become an extremely important political instrument to the government bureaucracy.
