Clark Memorial Student Center
The Clark Memorial Student Center was established to honor the achievements of Dr. William S. Clark to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the university’s foundation. It acts as a base for our students and extracurricular activities, and enriches campus life. The center was completed in December 1959 and opened in September 1960 as one of the first student halls in Japan. The aims of the center are to improve interpersonal relations among students, faculty members and graduates, promote extracurricular activities, contribute to the education of our students, and improve the welfare of students and faculty members.
