Abstract
- “The Colloquium on Oceanography” was initiated by a chief scientist, Michitaka Uda, of the Imperial Fisheries Institute, in April, 1932, to introduce papers, present oneʼs study results, and promote information exchange between members. Bi-monthly meetings, which were held on Thursdays at the Imperial Fisheries Institute, eventually led to 172 meetings and 506 lectures by 80 members until February, 1942. The cooperation between members and fervor for oceanography resulted in the proposal to create “the Oceanographic Society of Japan” in 1936. However, the proposal of “Kaiyo-Gakkai,” which had been previously presented at the Imperial Marine Observatory in Kobe, failed in the first half of 1937. The mutual consultation between “Kaiyo-Gakkai” and “the Colloquium on Oceanography” succeeded in building a committee on “Standard Sea Water” in December, 1939, and subsequently, “the Oceanographic Society of Japan” was established on January 28, 1941. In this study, the authors describe the examination of the proposal, contents, and details that led of the foundation of “the Oceanographic Society of Japan,” including participation by some scientists [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
