History and reputation

Keio traces its history to 1858 when Fukuzawa Yukichi, who had studied the Western educational system at Brown University in the United States, started to teach Dutch while he was a guest of Okudaira family. In 1868 he changed the name of the school to Keio Gijuku and devoted all his time to education. While Keiō's initial identity was that of a private school of Western studies, it expanded and established its first university faculty in 1890, and became known as an influential leader in Japanese higher education.

It is one of the most prestigious universities in Japan, similar to one of America's Ivy League institutions. Keio was the only Japanese university Albert Einstein visited when presenting his lecture on the special theory of relativity in 1922. It is the first Japanese university to celebrate its 150th anniversary in 2008. Keio's School of Medicine also has long standing research links with the Harvard Medical School. Keio has one of the largest financial endowments of any Japanese university.

体育运动

Edward Bramwell Clarke and Tanaka Ginnosuke first introduced Rugby union to Japanese students at Keio University. (The game had been played in the treaty ports of Yokohama and Kobe before that, but not between Japanese teams.)

The interest of Keio's students in baseball stretches back to the early years of the 20th century; and the history of exhibition games was reported internationally. In 1913, an American professional team made of players from the New York Giants and the Chicago White Sox played the Keio team in an exhibition game. In a 1932 exhibition game, the Keio team beat the University of Michigan team which was then touring Japan. Keio's baseball team plays in the Tokyo Big6 Baseball League (six prominent universities in the Tokyo area).

In an interview given in 1995 Wataru Osada, a Keio student and the top scorer for the Keio Unicornsm called Keio "...the best university in Japan, similar to Ivy League schools in this country. ..."
