The founder of Temple University
Acres of Diamonds… are to be found in this city, and you are to find them.
—Russell H. Conwell
For over 40 years the qualities that make Temple University, Japan Campus (TUJ) a unique institution have been made possible through the generous support of alumni, parents and donors who actively support our mission. Gifts to TUJ provide a pool of financial aid for needy students, support faculty research, underwrite improvements in academic facilities, and allow TUJ to offer a superior American-style tertiary education in Tokyo at a reasonable price.
In his famous 'Acres of Diamonds' speech, Russell H. Conwell, the founder of Temple University, called upon each individual to contribute to society to the best of their ability, and to rise to their fullest potential. Conwell believed in the importance of individual power and agency, and encouraged each person to use the resources at their disposal to create a worthy life through thoughtfulness, feeling and action.
Please help TUJ provide the critical resources that today's students need to reach their full potential. Your gift makes a difference.
TUJ is dedicated to attracting and retaining talented faculty. Your support helps us compete in the global marketplace for the best educators and scholars, allowing us to promote excellence in classroom teaching and research.
