Astudy of the students and graduate of the Department of Telegraphy,Imperial College of Engineering,Tokyo

东京帝国理工大学电报系（成立于1873年，即现在的东京大学电气和电子工程系）是世界上最早的高等教育水平的电气工程学院。讨论了电报系的建立是由威廉·汤姆森（格拉斯哥大学教授）还是由日本公共工程部发起的。本研究的重点是人，而不是机构，并涉及学生如何在该部门的教育，检查他们的毕业论文和重复的实际工作（手写的英文）。他们毕业后的职业生涯是研究。藤冈一介（1891年毕业）开始在国内生产碳丝白炽灯，他的公司Hakunetsusha是目前东芝的起源之一。三宅淳介做了灯的生产实验，很可能是在藤冈的直接监督下。三宅、志田林三郎（1979）、中野初音中野（1881）、岩垂邦彦（1882）、丹羽诚藤（1887）、（1888）的毕业论文和实际工作报告均转录成印刷品。世达参加1881年巴黎第一届国际电气展览会的报告也被抄录下来。这些缩微胶片和录音记录将在今后的研究中发挥重要作用。

The Department of Telegraphy of Imperial College of Engineering, Tokyo (established in 1873, the present Electric and Electronics Engineering Departments of the University of Tokyo) is the earliest school for electrical engineering at higher education level in the world. It is discussed which took the initiative in establishing the Department of Telegraphy, William Thomson (Professor at the Glasgow University) or Japanese Ministry of Public Works. This study focuses on the persons rather than institutions, and deals with how the students were educated in the Department, examining their graduation essays and repeats of practical work (hand-written in English). Their professional career after the graduation is studied. Ichisuke Fujioka (a graduate in 1891) began the domestic production of carbon filament incandescent lamp, and his firm Hakunetsusha is one of the origins of present Toshiba Some part of the Papers of Fujioka, preserved at the Chokokan, Iwakuni, is recorded with microfilm: it includes Fujioka's note of lectures on electrical lighting delivered at the Telegraph Department. Junsuke Miyake made experiment of the production of lamp, very likely under the direct supervision by Fujioka. The graduation essays and reports of practical work of Miyake, Rinzaburo Shida (1979), Hatsune Nakano (1881), Kunihiko Iwadare (1882), Seido Niwa (1887) and (1888) are transcribed in print-form. The report of attending the first International Electrical Exhibition at Paris, 1881 of Shida is being transcribed likewise. The microfilm and transcripts will be very useful in the future study.
