Kyoto University is the second national university in Japan after Tokyo University. 1892, 23 members of parliament put forward in a motion to the National Assembly that there is only one Tokyo National University in Japan, and the lack of competition is not conducive to running schools and cultivating students. At that time, it was suggested to build a university in Xijing-Kyoto. 1897 was passed and the university was born. At that time, it was called Kyoto Imperial University. When the university was first established, there was only one branch of science and engineering, with 6 majors giving 2/kloc-0 lectures and less than 500 students. Hiroshi Kimura was the first president. A few years later, three university branches were added: law, medicine and liberal arts. At this time, there are five university branches in the school. Four years later, a new university decree was issued and the branch school was renamed the department. The original law and economics of the law department were separated, and at the same time, they were upgraded to a department. After several years' efforts, agricultural departments and some research institutions have been established one after another, and the school scale has been greatly developed, and the number of students has doubled. After the merger of Kyoto No.3 Middle School, the humanities department was established on this basis, and later developed into today's education department. After the war, according to the new education law, a new system was implemented, and the word "imperial" in Imperial University was abolished, so as to eliminate the damage and influence of militarism on Kyoto University, including co-education, cleaning up faculty and staff, abolishing some inappropriate lectures, adding education departments, pharmacy departments and some research institutes, and postgraduate education has been greatly developed and opened to the outside world. In this way, it has become a national comprehensive university with complete disciplines and huge scale in Japan, second only to the University of Tokyo.
