National Seven Universities

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Seven Universities (全国七大学 Zenkoku shichidaigaku?) is formally used to refer to seven public institutions of higher education located in Japan. The term Old Imperial Universities (旧帝大 Kyūteidai?) is commonly used for those seven universities, as they once consist of Japanese Imperial University system prior to World War II.

The term is also used to refer to annual athletic meets for those seven schools. The athletic meets started by sponsorship of Hokkaido University as National Seven Universities Athletic Meet (国立七大学総合体育大会 Kokuritsu shichidaigaku sōgō taiiku-taikai?) in 1962. The Japanese name of the athletic meets was renamed to (全国七大学総合体育大会 Zenkoku shichidaigaku sōgō taiiku-taikai?) in 2002.

In a wider sense, it is used to refer to the social group once strongly associated with these schools, including Gakushikai (学士会?), the alumni / alumnae club for those seven schools.
