History

edit

In 1876, Tai Hasegawa (長谷川 泰) established a medical school in Tokyo. At that time, the Japanese government and the Ministry of Education only permitted one medical school: the University of Tokyo School of Medicine.

During the Meiji era, people who wanted to be doctors had to take an exam to receive a license. Saisei Gakusha, the predecessor of Nippon Medical School, was a cram school to pass the exam. Many famous doctors graduated from Saisei Gakusha, such as Hideyo Noguchi and Yayoi Yoshioka (吉岡 彌生). The medical school was temporarily closed by the president of the school, Tai Hasegawa, in 1903. In 1904, the students and the faculties established the new Nippon Medical School. Kenzo Isobe (磯部 検蔵) became the president of the school. Then, Masatsugu Yamane (山根 正次), who was a member of House of Representatives, became its president and director.

During the Taishō era, the Ministry of Education eventually permitted the new medical school.

At that time,[when?] there were three big private medical schools in Japan—Keio University School of Medicine, Jikei University School of Medicine and Nippon Medical School. Keio University became a university in 1920. Jikei University School of Medicine became a university in 1921. And, Nippon Medical School became a university in 1926. With only three private medical schools as universities in that era, they were regarded as "Shiritsu Idai Gosanke", the big three.

During the World War II, Nippon Medical School was damaged by air raids between 1944 and 1945. The main hall which had built in the Taishō era was burned down in 1945. The first hospital of the Nippon Medical School which had built by the romanesque architecture style in the Taishō era was recently[when?] bulldozed.
