Teachers and students are like father and son. Another tradition brought by Fukuzawa Yukichi's independent self-esteem and democratic thought to Keio University is: a free and open style of study, a strong tolerance for foreign things, and a strong relationship of goodwill and mutual assistance between teachers, students and alumni.
Take graduate students as an example. Once the relationship between tutors and students is established, they will be like father and son. The tutor will be responsible for the students' life to the end, and the teacher will do anything, no matter big or small. Alumni of Keio University are called "schoolmates", and faculty members never call each other "Mr" but "Jun". The title of Mr. Wang is reserved for Fukuzawa Yukichi alone. On the one hand, it expresses the reverence and love of all teachers and students for Fuze, on the other hand, it also reflects the harmonious relationship between teachers and students.
The style of study of free research is also fully reflected in teaching, such as small class teaching, advocating mutual communication between teachers and students, teaching in groups according to students' interest level, using different teaching materials and being tutored by teachers. This practice is particularly prominent in general education and language teaching in the first two years of college life.
Flourishing student activities
Keio University is famous for its academic freedom and active campus student activities. The most important student activities include the Mita Festival every autumn and the semi-annual baseball game with Waseda University, a private school. Students also like to join cultural and sports clubs organized by autonomous regions and schools.
Each campus of Keio University has a media network to maintain research, education and clinical courses, to provide a computer communication environment by establishing foundations, and to use this network by providing information resources and information processing technology. There are affiliated hospitals equipped with advanced medical equipment near the school hospital.
The strategy of coping with changes with constant changes
At present, with the continuous improvement of the reputation of Keio University graduates, Keio University's position as a famous university in the hearts of Japanese people has been further consolidated. How does Keio University face new challenges in this situation?
Ishikawa Tadao, the then president, put forward the strategic slogan of "keeping constant while changing", that is, in the face of the rapid development of science and technology in the world, Keio people should meet the challenges of the times with their own consistent tradition, unique style of study and pragmatic spirit. 1, seeking eastern innovation and introducing western culture and education. This is Fukuzawa Yukichi's school guide. Fukuzawa Yukichi urged Japan to leave Asia and enter Europe, and actively advocated the European bourgeois enlightenment. He believes that if Japanese civilization is to be advanced, it is necessary to take European civilization as the goal and set it as the standard for all discussions, and use this standard to measure the gains and losses of things. In order to achieve this goal, he formed a complete set of educational theories to guide the Japanese people to carry out comprehensive education, popularize knowledge, enhance national strength through education, and make Japan get rid of the declining position of a small country and few people. His theory covers universal education, women's education, intellectual education, moral education, family education and other fields. Under the guidance of this idea, he completed the educational experiment in Japan and made contributions to the formation of modern educational model in Japan. Keio University gradually developed into Japan under the guidance of such a complete modern educational theory.
2. Practice learning and advocate independent educational goals. Practical learning and independence are the two main concrete goals advocated by Fukuzawa Yukichi's educational experiment. He advocates practical learning close to the world as the mainstream of educational curriculum, and he hopes that students will become people who can do all kinds of humble things in the future. Mr. Fu advocates the idea of independence more, and regards intangible independence as his spiritual pursuit all his life. He advocates individual independence and self-esteem, and his main slogans are independence and national independence. The real benefit of society, his thought was later attributed to independent self-esteem. He believes that the Japanese people who have just been liberated from feudal oppression must learn to remain independent if they want to move towards freedom. Only by studying with determination and enriching themselves with practical knowledge can they liberate themselves and enrich the country and the people. Fukuzawa's thought has left a profound influence on the future employment orientation and entrepreneurial spirit of Keio University students, and all students in Keio University have the spirit of independent entrepreneurship. After graduation, they mainly started their businesses in the economic and commercial fields, starting from the most basic work, which laid a rich experience foundation for their future success and was known as the cradle of Japanese Qing entrepreneurs.
13. The goal of cultivating students in Keio University is to improve students' spiritual realm, create and accumulate new knowledge wealth, tap new entrepreneurial potential, and cultivate talents who play an important role in society and contribute to the world. Up to now, more than 220,000 graduates have been trained, including current Prime Minister Koizumi and former Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto, as well as celebrities such as Fujiyama Aiichiro, Sakamoto Shan Ye and Yoshio Sakurada. There are five Keio alumni in Koizumi's cabinet, but Keio has helped enterprises.
In other words, in the face of the rapid development of science and technology in the world, Keio people should meet the challenges of the times with their own consistent tradition, unique style of study and pragmatic spirit. Keio said well: Today's era is our own, and we should create our own world with our own hands. Of course, Keio has also changed in recent years. For example, it has broken through the original traditional shackles in discipline setting and set up the Comprehensive Policy Department and the Environmental Information Department in Tengze Campus in southern Hunan. Its purpose is to understand, analyze, study and formulate policies on current world affairs from the comprehensive perspective of politics, economy, law and culture. For example, Keio University began to enter politics in recent years in order to expand its influence. Compared with 1989 and 1980, the inter-school background of members of parliament has increased by 8%, while that of early rice fields has decreased.
Keio University has eight undergraduate education departments: Literature Department, Law Department, Economics Department, Business Department, Medicine Department, Polytechnic Department, Comprehensive Policy Department and Environmental Information Department. The graduate school has eight research disciplines, including literature, economics, law, sociology, business, medicine, science and engineering, and management. And the largest correspondence department in Japanese universities.
Keio * * * has four libraries, located in Tami, Riji, Shangya and Xinnong Pavilion, with a total collection of 2 million books. The old library built in 1907, with octagonal tower structure, has become an important cultural relic in Japan. The newly-built Tami Library has 12 stacks and adopts modern services. Collection of books 1 150000 volumes, rich in ancient, modern and eastern and western books and periodicals. It enjoys a high reputation in Japanese university libraries. Under the slogan of "Book University * * * Enjoy", the whole library is fully open for service, which greatly facilitates the reading of teachers, students and staff.
The emblem of Qingying is a shield with two crossed tips, which means "pen is better than sword". This design was engraved in Latin on the stained glass door of the old library of Tammy Library. The school flag is blue, red and blue, and there is a school emblem pattern in the upper left corner. The East Gate of Tian Mi, the headquarters, is called "Ideal Gate", which is taken from a campus song. These four words became the school motto of Qingying.
The following four statues are erected on campus and other places to commemorate the pioneers who made great contributions to the celebration: Osanai Kaoru, the founder of the new drama; Hiranuma Ryuno, an all-around meritorious athlete in the second campus of Li, is known as the "father of sports"; Fujiwara Yijiro's campus in Shang Ya-the founder of Fujiwara University of Technology and the predecessor of the engineering department; Kitasato Shibasaburo, Gu Si —— Known as the "Father of Yingqing Medicine". In addition, a monument to Junichiro Koizumi has been set up on the Richu campus.
Universities that don't need to "eat the imperial grain"
Fukuzawa Yukichi, the founder of Keio University, is an important Japanese thinker in modern times. He saw the strong backing of economy and science and technology from behind the gunboats of western powers, so he decided to open a school to "save the country through education".
It has been recorded in the history of this school: "Power disputes cannot be violated, and any interference in affairs cannot limit Fukuzawa's pursuit of knowledge. Even today, such a special style of study is still intact at Keio University. " Under the influence of this excellent school spirit, most graduates of Keio are unwilling to go into politics, but are willing to start from the grassroots level and create a situation with their academic foundation, intelligence and pragmatism.
Therefore, Keio University students occupy an important position in Japanese enterprises, trade, finance and other industrial fields. Form a group of powerful "Qing Ying Gang".
The number of graduates from Keio University is less than half that of Tokyo University and Waseda University, but a number of famous politicians and dignitaries have emerged, such as Ozaki, Inukai Tsuyoshi, Fujiyama Aiichiro, Shan Ye Sakamoto, Tagawa Seiichi, Yoshio Sakurauchi and Ryutaro Hashimoto.
Although Keio is a private school and does not have the conditions to eat "imperial grain", its economic strength is still very strong. From the perspective of Japanese enterprises, trade, finance and other industrial fields, it is no small matter, and students from Keio University occupy an important position. Form a group of powerful "Qing Ying Gang". According to the statistics of 1990, among the 2,000 large enterprises in Japan, there are many presidents besides graduates from the University of Tokyo, reaching 18 1. People say that "financial management is in Qingying", which is very reasonable. Keio University graduates have certain advantages over other universities in finding jobs in Japan.
