University Song
University Song
The university song and flag were established in 1940. As an answer to the "Imperial Rescript for young students" from the Emperor in 1939, the lyrics of the song and the flag design were selected from pieces written and designed by the students of the Kyoto Imperial University, as it was known in those days.
