The Harry C. Kelly Fund for US-Japan Scientific Cooperation.


I conceived and executed fund raising for an endowed scholarship program at North Carolina State University while there in the 1980s, acting in my capacity as the North Carolina Japan Center’s Assistant Director for Research and Program Development.  The central concept of the Fund was to memorialize NC State’s late Provost, Dr. Harry C. Kelly, by providing funds for academic exchanges in the sciences and engineering, and encouraging Japanese language study among NCSU’s students in relevant majors.  Dr. Kelly was an MIT- trained physicist who had served as General Douglas MacArthur’s science advisor through most of the Allied Occupation of Japan, and was long revered in the Japanese science community for his contributions to the rebirth of Japanese science in the post-World War II period.


The fund commenced in 1988 as a $496,000 endowment at North Carolina State University, providing financial aid to students in the sciences who took up Japanese language study.  According to Professor John Baugh, current Director of the NCSU Japan Center, “[The Kelly Fund] has been an extremely important and ongoing source of support for the center, particularly for our science and technology students in study-abroad programs.”
