Ritsumeikan traces its roots to Prince Saionji's private Academy of the same name, established in 1869.

Rikkyo University, located in Tokyo and founded in 1874, began with St. Paul's School. Bishop Channing Moore Williams established the Episcopal Church missionary as a private school that taught Christian Bible studies and English. At that time, Japan was rushing to catch up with the advanced nations of the West, and the field of education also had a strong utilitarian tendency. Knowledge and technology were often seen as tools for material prosperity and self-advancement. The shield mark, Rikkyo University's official symbol, was established in 1918 by the then-President of the University, Charles S. Reifsnider, and is held to embody Rikkyo University's founding principl…
