The gate is often used to symbolize a university.Akamon, Shiromonkai, Tomonkai, and Narrow Gate.As with shrines and temples, the university has been studying in a place that is a little different from the world, such as the sanctuary inside and the world outside when passing through the gate.However, it is difficult to train young people today only in the gate.If you immerse yourself in studying for entrance exams until high school, and stay on campus at university and just sit down, you will have a hard time after going out to society without knowing the world.
Therefore, I thought of a window instead of a gate, a window that is open and airy, and that allows you to expand your horizons to the outside world, as a symbol of a university that is open to the world.Considering that campuses are everywhere, students and faculty members are free to leave the university, and on the contrary, people in society are invited to enter the university.Above all, windows also symbolize hope for the future.

Keywords are included in each of the XNUMX characters of WINDOW.
W is Wild and Wise.I want to raise tough and smart students.As a field worker, I have written down what I felt with my own eyes and pursued new fields and theories based on it, but I would like many students in other fields to adopt these methods. I think.Also, as a matter of course, in order to actively go out to the world, it is necessary to train both physically and mentally.

I is International and Innovative.In an environment rich in internationality, it is an attempt to create innovation that will set the era while always keeping an eye on the movements of the world and freely talking with the people of the world.We intend to create this movement through various exchanges through overseas universities, research institutes, industry, academia, government, and the private sector.

N is Natural and Noble.Kyoto is surrounded by mountains on three sides and is close to nature, which is considered to be the source of original scholarship and research.The philosophical path close to the university is just that symbol.There, philosophers such as Kitaro Nishida and Hajime Tanabe, as well as seniors called the Kyoto School, strolled along the Suimizu, indulging in thought while looking at Mt. Yoshida and Mt.

My teacher, Professor Imanishi, also trained in Kitayama, Kyoto at first.I think that the origin that led to the creation of the original discipline of primatology lies in the walk and thought there.I think that training your mind and body in nature will give you a sense of awe for nature, and will help you to improve yourself and acquire dignity.

D is Diverse and Dynamic.Diversity is one of the characteristics of an integrated university where various fields are gathered and various students are gathered in the same field.There are also buds that bring about innovation.Dynamics expresses the individuality and ability to capture the flow without losing sight of oneself even in a rapidly changing world.

O is Original and Optimistic.Seeking originality can lead to being separated from others and being criticized by others.You need to be optimistic about not being too locked up in your own shell.I don't mind a few mistakes.Of course, it goes without saying that the presence of seniors, friends, and teachers is indispensable.

The last W is Women and Wish.I want to aim for a campus where women shine more than ever.To make the way of thinking of women bloom properly in the academic discipline.My research field, primatology, used to be a male society, but with the introduction of female researchers, perspectives such as breeding and child-rearing were added, and new developments began from there.The university itself must create an environment in which women can express their opinions and work side by side with men.

Kyoto University will start the special entrance examination from this year. I have been taking the entrance exam only for the first half of the year for almost 10 years, but the chances of taking the exam will increase once.All universities are now reforming their entrance exams in search of sharp and unique students, but Kyoto University wants high school students in the Kanto region, especially in the Tokyo metropolitan area, to pay attention to them through the special entrance exams.

Since there are many teachers at Kyoto University who have diverse networks with the world personally, not only the university as a whole * 34 but also many windows are open directly to the world.You can get to know the world from the first year and go out to the world from the undergraduate days. There are XNUMX research institutes and centers in Japan, but each is a global research center.In the small-group Pokezemi for first-year students, not only faculties and graduate schools but also many researchers belonging to research institutes and centers participate.Many students come in with an awareness of research universities from the beginning, so I would like them to see the sharp results from the beginning * XNUMX.If you have time, you can visit the laboratory and experience the world's most advanced research.

Kyoto is a city with a population of 147 million, but about XNUMX% of it is students.All the citizens are kind to students and support the university.Craftsmen, artists, and business people make students study a lot.I hope that high school students from all over the country, including the Tokyo metropolitan area, will aim for Kyoto and learn about the world other than academics and train their minds and bodies.

Nobuyasu Morikami: Thank you.Do you have a word from the Vice President about the special entrance examination?

Vice President Tetsuya Ariga: Although the number of science students is a little small, it will be implemented in all faculties from the first year.I would like high school students to take on the challenge because the motivation and aspirations for academics that could not be measured by the conventional written test are also evaluated.Sample questions have already been published.The liberal arts focus on reading and thinking about long sentences and writing by yourself, that is, seeing if you have learned the basics of learning.Basic academic ability is evaluated by the center test.If you read the book carefully, you have a good chance of passing.

I'm from Kanto, and I've been at the University of Tokyo for 16 years and I'm not familiar with Kyoto, but when I come, it's very easy to spend.I think it's the same for students.

Tetsuya Ariga Vice President, Kyoto University
