The foundation of Surugadai University begins with the "Tokyo Higher Examination Seminar" established in 1918. Its founder, Toshiharu Yamazaki, graduated from Tokyo University of Foreign Studies (now Tokyo University of Foreign Studies) in 1902, and then went to the United States to study English and English literature at Amherst College and Harvard University. In 1910, he received the title of Master of Arts from Yale University Graduate School.
After returning to Japan, I was teaching English literature at Meiji University, but I was not convinced that the way Japanese students study English was mainly esoteric English reading and writing, so I wondered if there was a more rational study method. I thought. The idea of ??"love education", which is the founding spirit of Sundai, is to identify individual qualities and develop their abilities. This led to the subsequent publication of "Examination English" for examinees, the establishment of the Tokyo Higher Examination Seminar, and the establishment of a preparatory school.
