University profile In contrast with other Ivy League member universities, Brown University aims to be a place for pure academic study and research and therefore it has not created a business school or law school. Keio University has a historically strong connection with Brown University. On the recommendation of John Manjiro, Yukichi Fukuzawa studied the Western higher education system at Brown University, and it is said that this is what inspired him to found Keio University. The Brown University President at the time, the economist Francis Wayland, had a profound influence on Yukichi Fukuzawa and there is even a famous anecdote that Yukichi Fukuzawa continued to give a lecture about an english language text by Francis Wayland despite the fact that the Boshin War was raging outside his classroom window. To commemorate this, Keio University celebrates May 15 as 'Yukichi Fukuzawa-Francis Wayland Memorial Lecture Day'.

塾生コメント

▪特徴は、①多才な人が多いこと、②起業家精神が旺盛で社会貢献に対する想いが強いこと。①に関して：マルチリンガルだったり、歌がプロ並み、絵が上手など多才な人が多く、刺激を受ける。②に関して：「どうあるべき」を議論するだけでなく、実際に「やる」・変化を起こすという校風があり、友だちが急に事業を立ち上げたり、卒業生でNPOを立ち上げた人が講演に来たりということがよくある。社会に変化を起こす一個人としてこうやって取り組めばいいんだ、ということを日々学べる。
