The University of Tokyo, founded in 1877, is the first national university in Japan. Its predecessor was Tokyo Kaicheng School and Tokyo Medical College founded in Meiji period. At the beginning of the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese government announced the "New Academic System Order", 1877, and the two universities were merged and named the University of Tokyo, which opened the door to learn from Europe and America.
The University of Tokyo has three campuses: one is to go to my hometown (hometown campus) on February 2, and the main institutions are in this campus. The medical major of Tokyo University is very strong, and half of the local campuses are related to medicine. The other two are in Kemaba Campus in Muhei District. In Koma Farm, Komaba campus is a correctional college, which focuses on basic disciplines and logistics; Another Komaba campus is mainly for cutting-edge scientific research and some laboratories. The Department of History of Science and Philosophy of Science is located in Komaba Campus. There is a library in each of these three campuses, and the comprehensive library in Komaba-I and the rural campus is the largest and has the largest collection of books. In addition, different research institutes also have libraries.
As the University of Tokyo started school in June 5438+00, it just gave me a period of time to get familiar with the environment. So in my first month here, I spent more time in the library besides meeting some friends I know at work. So far, I know that the materials I want to investigate are mainly in the Komako Library, the local comprehensive library, the historical compilation institute of the comprehensive library and the Oriental Culture College, and some are scattered in the School of Economics and the School of Cultural Anthropology.
These three campuses are the largest in their hometown and the most imperial university style. The two campuses of Komako are not big, but the playground of Komako Campus 1 is beautiful, surrounded by natural grasslands and ancient trees.
