During the turbulent and transitional period of the reform at the end of the curtain, their vassal was ordered by the Meiji government, and Selected Graduates, as a vassal, was sent to the capital Tokyo. The three met and knew each other in Meiji Liao (later the Law School of the Ministry of Justice). The school was set up by the Ministry of Justice to train judicial officials quickly. In this school, they studied French law and went their separate ways under the guidance of "outstanding foreigner" Mr. Bova Sonad and others. Kishimoto went to France to study and became a judge after returning home; Miyagi also studied in France and became a prosecutor after returning home. Dai Ya is a member of the Senate, and he is also engaged in the legal society (from the North? Management and education of daolong. The three founders have established a very close relationship since they attended the Law School of the Ministry of Justice. Although their jobs are different, the idea of developing the latest formal legal education activities in Japan is always lingering in their minds.
On the other hand, the students of Jiaofa Society dropped out of school because they were dissatisfied with the management attitude of the founder, and more than a dozen of them conducted self-study activities in private houses in Nana Ogawa-CHO, Kanda. Soon, they asked Kishimoto and Miyagi, who used to be lecturers in the school, to open new law schools. Kishimoto and others invited their friend Dai Ya, who was deeply loved by students in the Law Society, to submit an application for setting up a private law school to Tokyo with them. 188 1 year (meiji 14) 1 month 17, the law school finally came? The corner of Jijiwu Bridge in the township and the former site of Shimahara House were announced. At that time, it was the heyday of the wave of freedom and civil rights. Meiji Law School took "freedom of rights" as its motto and launched legal education activities focusing on French law. Although it is difficult to raise enough funds to run a school, the number of applicants for admission is increasing. In this case, the school finally built a new school building in Nanjiahe Town, Kanda on June 5438+0886 (Meiji19) 65438+February 1 1, and moved into this new school building.
However, since then, the road of the school has not been smooth sailing. Imperial University of Tokyo, according to the special supervision laws and regulations, brought schools under its jurisdiction and management, and attempted to merge private schools. This is the so-called "anti-smuggling" policy. Schools have become a special target of this policy because they advocate "freedom of rights". Moreover, due to the protection of German law and English law by national policies, it soon led to the opposition between English law, German law and French law (represented by this faction). With the implementation of the civil code, this great debate reached its climax, and the result of this great debate ended in the failure of the French school of law.
Monument to the founder of Meiji University 1920 (the ninth year of Taisho) 1 In April, Meiji Law School became a university (referred to as "Meiji University") according to the university decree. However, in order to get to this point, people have made extraordinary struggles and efforts. The proposal of setting up and conferring a bachelor's degree in Ming law, the approval of Meiji University by a special school order, the establishment of the four schools of law, commerce, politics and literature, the relocation of Jun Hetai in the school site, and the fund-raising campaign for upgrading to a university are all representative examples. In a word, Meiji University, as a comprehensive university, was finally established through the efforts of faculty, students and alumni.
On this campus, there are energetic teachers who have just returned from abroad, a considerable number of international students, students who eulogize "Dazheng democracy", and sometimes people related to the riots in the Academy. These people's activities are increasingly frequent, which is particularly eye-catching. It is based on the traditional spirit of opposition and rebellion that the campus is in turmoil. Whether it is good or bad, it can be said that during this period, the campus has presented a vibrant scene.
However, the Great Kanto Earthquake (1923, Dazheng 65438+September 2002 1) dealt a great blow to the school. But it goes without saying that the faculty, students and alumni of the school rushed to the devastated school ruins and quickly started the restoration and reconstruction of the campus. Thanks to the efforts of these people, Meiji University held a reconstruction ceremony in the memorial hall on 1928 (April 2, Showa 31).
However, Meiji University was soon involved in fascism and wartime system (especially the Pacific War). The establishment of Xingyako, diligent mobilization and apprenticeship are typical examples. On the other hand, there are some positive aspects, such as the expansion of women's education, the revitalization of sports, the relocation of preparatory school (Hequan campus), etc., which are also recognized by people. 2 1,1February, 949 (twenty-four years of Showa), this school was approved as a newly established Meiji University, and it made a new start. This department includes six colleges of law, business, politics and economics, literature, engineering and agriculture, and the second department (evening school) was established on the 25th of the following month (March). Of course, it reflected the social situation at that time, and there was a lot of confusion and confusion in the school. On the other hand, however, Meiji University began to work towards the goal of building a new university, full of courage and hope.
Since then, the school has opened Shengtian Campus, expanded its graduate school, established a new business school and built a new teaching building. This system and the expansion of facilities and equipment have been rapidly promoted. By the11960 s, people began to call for a thorough reform within universities. For example, the reform of specialized education companies, tuition fees, or all-out struggle, and so on After this period of history, Meiji University 1980 (Showa 55),165438+1October 4th celebrated. Moreover, in the year of 200 1 (Heisei 13) 1 1, the anniversary ceremony of 120 was held, and the birthday ceremony of the founder of 65438+ was also held in the same year. Taking this opportunity, compared with the past, according to the spirit of the school, the activities of verifying the school curriculum have become more active. Moreover, at the same time, we are also faced with the urgent task of how universities should undertake the mission entrusted by the new era. The rapid development of globalization has not only brought about the change of national orientation, but also put forward new requirements for the running mode of Japanese universities. It has become a top priority to cultivate talents who can think from an international perspective and be active on the international stage. Meiji University aims to become an internationally recognized first-class university and promotes the reform of various educational and scientific research systems.
