This university was established out of the inspiration and ideas of many people. Contributions, including from Kumamoto Prefecture and Tamana City, two former cities, ten former towns, the donations of many people, and the local community's enthusiastic movement bore fruit so that a "mixed public-and-private" university could be established. That is why we think this university always wants to remain as a university opened by the local community. So, asking the local community people to use the university facilities, including the library, is a natural thing and, in addition to that, we think that it is the mission of an open university to be also useful as a place for …

Our university was initially established under the name Kyoto School of Foreign Languages in May of 1947. It was soon after World War Ⅱ when great demand had arisen for international understanding, which would lead to world peace. One of the urgent requirements to accomplish this goal was to nurture young Japanese men and women who could master foreign languages and understand the cultures, economies, and societies of the world. To master a foreign language, however, is not an easy task for the Japanese. One reason for this sad truth lies in our linguistic system, which has a peculiar structure. Another reason is non-linguistic. We have exclusively developed our customs…
