Tokyo Medical University

Almost 100 years ago, in May 1916, almost 450 students from Japan Medical College (presently known as Japan Medical University) resigned en masse because of conflict with the administration, and set about trying to realize their own ideal place of study, working toward the establishment of a new school. After overcoming many difficulties, they were able to rent classrooms in Tokyo Academy of Physics (presently Tokyo University of Science) from September that year, and thereby established Tokyo Medical Teaching Establishment.
