The University of Kagawa ( Japanese 香 川 大学 , Kagawa daigaku , short: Kadai ( 香 大 )) is a state university in Japan . The main campus is in Saiwaichō, Takamatsu in Kagawa Prefecture .
history
The (older) University of Kagawa was founded in 1949 through the merger of the three state schools:
- the normal school Kagawa ( 香 川 師範学校 , Kagawa shihan gakkō , founded 1874),
- the youth normal school Kagawa ( 香 川 青年 師範学校 , Kagawa his shihan gakkō in Zentsūji , founded 1924), and
- the Takamatsu Business School ( 高 松 経 済 専 門 学校 , Takamatsu keizai semmon gakkō , founded in 1923).
The Takamatsu Business School, the predecessor of the Business Faculty, was founded as the 12th state higher commercial school and was first called Takamatsu Higher Commercial School ( 高 松 高等 商業 学校 , Takamatsu kōtō shōgyō gakkō ). One of the famous graduates was Ōhira Masayoshi , who later graduated from Tokyo University of Commerce . The school was renamed Takamatsu Business School in 1944, and in July 1945 its school buildings were destroyed by the Pacific War. The school moved to Zentsūji and returned to the rebuilt campus in 1948. Today's Saiwaichō campus is the former seat of the business school and the normal school.
Kagawa University was opened with two faculties ( Liberal Arts and Economics). In 1955, the Kagawa Prefectural Agricultural College ( 香 川 県 立 農科 大学 , Kagawa-kenritsu nōka daigaku , founded in 1903) became the Faculty of Agriculture. In 1966 the Faculty of Liberal Arts was renamed the Faculty of Education. The university added faculties: Law (1981) and Engineering (1997). In 2003 the (older) University of Kagawa and the Medical University of Kagawa ( 香 川 医科大学 , Kagawa ika daigaku , founded in 1978) were merged to form the newer University of Kagawa.
