made possible through the efforts
of Assistant Professor Robert K.
Sakai in a cooperative venture
backed by the University Library
and the Department of History.
Dr. Sakai', who was in Japan
as a Fulbright scholar during the

the Meiji Restoration movement
which overthrew the feudal re

the Shognunate (military) rule, a
score of volumes of pertinent news
paper articles which appeared" at
this time, a major reference col
lection on Japan's constitutional
history, and a bibrary of offical
records of the Ministry of Finance.
Most of the newly acquired ma
terial deals with the critical Mei

an's leaders set out to modernize
their country.

Shortly after 12:20 a.m., Demo
cratic presidential hopeful Adlai
Stevenson conceded the election
to Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Speaking from the ballroom of
the Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chi
cago, the former governor of Il
linois said that he had sent a mes
sage to the president stating, "You
have won not only the election
but the great confidence of the
American people."
The Eisenhower-Nixon ticket,
which, according to Gov. Averell
Harriman of New York, "won on
the popularity of the presidential
candidate" will retain the two
highest offices in the nation.
Shortly after Stevenson made
his speech in Chicago official elec
tion figures showed that the GOP
had gained 292 electoral votes,
having won in 26 states.
Jn order to win an election, a
candidate must poll 266 votes in
the electoral college.
Stevenson said further, "We are
not Republicans and Democrats
but Americans. As Americans we
join in wishing you success in the
coming years.
"First I want to express my
thanks to my partner Estes Ke
fauver. "I wish very much there was
some way I could properly thank
you one by one. I wish there was
some way I could make you feel
my gratitude for your support.
"To you who are disappointed,
let me confess that I am too. But
we must not be downhearted. To
succeed we have only to lose. For
