Jap Buddhist Abbot Inspects University

Chief Abbot Kocho Otani, who represents 32 million Japanese Buddhists, and his wife, younger sister of the Empress of Japan, visited Harvard and Radcliffe colleges yesterday during a tour of the United States sanctioned by General Douglas MacArthur, supreme Allied commander of Japan.

The Abbots' party, including two Japanese bishops and two clergymen, will inspect Harvard's department of Far Eastern Languages today and will be entertained at lunch at the Harvard Faculty Club by Professor Serge Elisseff, head of the department.

Abbot Otani is chief of the East Hog Won-Jt Buddhist Sector of Japan, which embraces six million members.
