2 Message from the President Professor Atsushi Seike President, Keio University Upon the Founding Principles of Yukichi Fukuzawa Keio University was founded 157 years ago in 1858 by Yukichi Fukuzawa. It was during a time of dramatic upheaval that greatly transformed Japanese society. Fukuzawa said of his generation who had lived through the feudal Edo period and a modern Meiji state: We have lived two lives as it were. In such a time of great change Fukuzawa established Keio to contribute to society through learning. Through the pursuit of learning he aimed to foster young people to think for themselves, to gain new wisdom for the benefit of society, and to contribute to the progress of Japan. He particularly emphasized the importance of jitsugaku, which was usually translated as practical learning, but Fukuzawa used this term to mean science. This founding principle of Yukichi Fukuzawa of aiming to contribute to society through learning, particularly through science, continues to be honored at Keio University. Thus, the mission of Keio University today is to realize this founding principle in coping with major challenges we face now. As a matter of fact, we are currently also experiencing great changes such as an ageing population, increasing natural and manmade risks, and keener global economic competition, which all question the very sustainability of our society. In order to cope with these issues, Keio University created three research and educational initiatives. The first is the Longevity Initiative in which we conduct research and education to create a sustainable ageing society; the Security Initiative aims to make a safer and peaceful society; and the Creativity Initiative to promote a more creative society that can generate high added value. For each initiative, our goal is to conduct deeply-probing research, apply it to solve problems through mutual collaboration among the different disciplines, and use this process to educate students to think for themselves. The global nature of these initiatives presents us with opportunities to strengthen collaborative ties with the international community through joint research and academic exchange with world-leading universities. In this respect we were very fortunate that, in 2014, Keio University was selected as a Top Type (Type A) research university for the Top Global University Project by the Japanese government. Upon the founding principles of Yukichi Fukuzawa, Keio University is committed to further contributing to global society through learning. In order to make this possible, Keio University will continue to further improve the quality of our education and research. I hope this booklet will enable you to learn more about Keio University and all that we have to offer. CONTENTS 01 Yukichi Fukuzawa and Keio University In 1858, renowned scholar Yukichi Fukuzawa opened a school for Dutch learning in Edo (present-day Tokyo). Having traveled in Europe and the United States, Fukuzawa established the foundation of modern education in Japan, free from the traditional values and practices of society. In 1868, the school was expanded and renamed Keio Gijuku after the name of the era at that time: Keio. The school began to offer university education in 1890, and Keio took its place as Japan s foremost comprehensive university. The university has expanded to include 10 faculties and 14 graduate schools, and in 2008 it celebrated its 150th anniversary. Founder Yukichi Fukuzawa, a pioneer of modern Japan, is pictured on the 10,000-yen note, the country s highest denomination. The institution he founded continues to provide leadership for the future. Founder Yukichi Fukuzawa believed in self-respect and independence of mind, in thinking for oneself and taking responsibility for one s actions. He instilled a spirit of practical learning, of approaching endeavors scientifically without preconceived ideas. In his major work, An Encouragement of Learning, which famously begins, Heaven never created a man above another nor a man below another, Fukuzawa emphasized the importance of freedom, equality, and lifelong learning. His vision and philosophy still resonate today. 02 Message from the President 03 History 05 Undergraduate Programs 08 Graduate Programs 11 Research Centers and Institutes 12 Affiliated Schools 13 Campus Guide 15 Academic Programs 16 Top Global University Project 17 Global Partnerships The Mission of Keio University Keio University is not merely a place for academic pursuit. Its mission is to be a constant source of honorable character and a paragon of intellect and morals for the entire nation and for each member to apply this spirit to elucidate the essence of family, society, and nation. They will not only articulate this essence in words, but also demonstrate it in their actions, and by so doing make Keio a leader of society. The Autobiography of Yukichi Fukuzawa The most translated book written by Yukichi Fukuzawa is The Autobiography of Yukichi Fukuzawa, which has been translated into 10 different languages, including English, Chinese, French, and Turkish. One reason for its popularity is the respect for a man who dedicated his life to the education and modernization of Japan. The pages of Fukuzawa s autobiography tell his vivid life story in an engaging style which appeals across the globe

3 History Since its founding in 1858, the history of Keio University parallels the history of Japan s modern era. The vision and clarity of founder Yukichi Fukuzawa s original teachings have held up well for nearly a century and a half of serious academic inquiry in the service of Japan s development and modernization. Fukuzawa believed that Japan s only choice for catching up with Western technology and social organization was to always strive for progress and enlightenment, and provide the academic and moral education needed to create a generation of wise and capable leaders. To this end, Keio University has continued to provide intellectual leadership that addresses the issues facing Japanese society in its quest for development and transformation. As we face the challenges of the post-industrial era of the 21st century, Keio continues to uphold the pioneering spirit of its founder in his pursuit of peace, prosperity, and progress. The Pen Mark Around 1885, a group of students made clothes and hats to wear as uniforms. They produced an insignia inspired by the adage, The pen is mightier than the sword, which they had found in their textbooks. They then used this Pen Mark on their hats to make themselves look more like students. After gaining support from other students and the administration, the Pen Mark became the official symbol of Keio. Sanshokuki (Tricolor Flag) The school flag of Keio is called the Sanshokuki, or tricolor flag, although it actually contains only two colors: two blue stripes with a red stripe in between. The Pen Mark appears in the upper left corner of the flag.

In 1862, Yukichi Fukuzawa visited King s College School for Boys of England and was deeply impressed by the British educational system. In 1898, he realized his plans for comprehensive primary and secondary education in accordance with his concept of dokuritsu jison, the spirit of independence and self-respect. Today, more than one hundred years later, Keio s schools include two elementary schools, three junior high schools and five senior high schools, including a high school in New York, U.S.A. While Keio s educational philosophy remains largely the same throughout its schools, each school possesses a unique character and its own set of policies to provide students with a top-level education and a variety of challenges to develop both mind and body. To meet the demands of today s changing world, each school continues to pursue new approaches, such as greater involvement with students and teachers from other schools around the world.
