Chinda was born December 24, 1856 at Hirosaki, Aomori Prefecture, Japan
and died in Japan, January 16, 1929. He married (Miss) Sato in 1882,
and they had a son, Hideho. After graduating from Indiana Asbury University
(DePauw, A.B. 1881, A.M. 1884), Chinda returned to Japan, where he entered
the foreign service. He later served as Ambassador to Germany (1908-1911),
to the United States (1911-1914) and to England (1914-1920). He also
served as Japan's representative to the Paris Peace Conference in 1918
and was serving as Lord Chamberlain to the Emperor at the time of his
death.
Also: In
the summer of 1877 four Japanese young men arrived in Greencastle, sent
to study at the university by Asbury alumnus John Ing, who directed
a mission school in Hirosaki, Japan. All were professed Christians of
the samurai class with little financial resources, but willing to work.
