TOHOKU UNIVERSITY
Tohoku University was founded at Sendai in 1907 as Tohoku Imperial University. It was the third Imperial University in Japan, and comprised the College of Agriculture and College of Science.
Since its foundation. the university has been very progressive and given stimulus to the society. To give a few examples, it was the first Imperial University to admit applicants who had not finished regular preparatory courses; that is. it accepted graduates from Medicine and Technical Colleges (Kﾅ衡ﾅ贀 Senmon Gakko) and holders of ａ certificate for secondary school teachers. It was also the first Japanese university to introduce coeducation. It presented university extension lecture to the public ahead of its time. And it conferred degrees to foreign graduates as far back as 1911, which means that Tohoku University opened its doors to foreign students even earlier than University of Tokyo, the oldest University in Japan.
