Imperial University - teikoku daigaku

Japanese: 帝国大学 - ていこくだいがく
Imperial University - teikoku daigaku

There are precedents for what would become known as imperial universities in countries such as Germany and France, but the first imperial university in Japan was the University of Tokyo, founded in 1877 (Meiji 10), which was given the name "to meet the needs of the nation" by the Imperial University Act of 1886. It was later renamed Tokyo Imperial University in 1897 with the founding of Kyoto Imperial University, and then Tohoku Imperial University was founded in 1907 (Meiji 40), Kyushu Imperial University in 1910, and Hokkaido Imperial University in 1918 (Taisho 7). Until the promulgation of the University Act in the same year allowed the establishment of private universities, only national imperial universities were recognized as universities. This was followed by Keijo Imperial University (Korea) in 1924, Taipei Imperial University (Taiwan) in 1928 (Showa 3), Osaka Imperial University in 1931, and Nagoya Imperial University in 1939, bringing the total number of imperial universities to nine. However, they were abolished when the new university system was established after World War II, and the seven imperial universities in Japan became national universities under the new system.

Japanese:

帝国大学とよばれるものの先例はドイツやフランスなどにあるが、日本における帝国大学は、1877年(明治10)に創立された東京大学が、1886年の帝国大学令により「国家ノ須要(しゅよう)ニ応ス」べく、そう呼称されるようになったのが最初である。その後1897年、京都帝国大学の創設に伴い東京帝国大学と改称され、さらに1907年(明治40)には東北帝国大学、1910年には九州帝国大学、1918年(大正7)に北海道帝国大学が設立され、同年大学令の公布で私立大学の設置が認められるまで、官立の帝国大学だけが大学として認められていた。このあと1924年に京城帝国大学(朝鮮)、1928年(昭和3)台北帝国大学(台湾)、1931年大阪帝国大学、1939年名古屋帝国大学と続き、9帝国大学となったが、第二次世界大戦後の新制大学発足で廃止され、国内の7帝国大学は新制の国立大学となった。
