Studies on the schoolbooks in European languages used at the University of Tokyo in the first period of the Meiji era

我们研究的目的是参照明治时代第一阶段的教育史，对一千多本教科书进行分类，这些教科书在大学南分校和开城学堂(实际的东京大学的前身)使用，现在保存在大学的中央图书馆，原封不动。我们提取了这些教科书的书目数据(包括：机构印章的印记和学生写的笔记的存在)，并将其放入数字数据(Exel-Data)。这样，我们就完成了一份按字母顺序排列的所有现存教科书的清单，供明治第一时代的教育史研究人员使用。以下是我们研究的主要成果。1)教科书的重要部分被转移到外国语学院(目前是东京外国语大学)。由于教育制度的变化，这些书籍被分散到一桥大学、东京大学文学院和京都大学。有必要进行一项详尽的研究。2)通过对这些书籍的详细分析，我们看到了东京大学学堂教育政策的两个主要倾向：多学科课程的专业化和英语教学的垄断化。在法语和德语中，只为法学和工程专业的学生购买语言教科书，这些学生参考法语-英语或德-英语词典备课。3)特邀教授瓦格纳在工程类教材的选择中起着重要的作用。(四)扩大了各封建王朝派来的留学生的见识。

The purpose of our studies is to classify more than a thousand of schoolbooks, used at the South branch of the University and the Kaisei School (predecessors of the actual University of Tokyo) and now kept untouched in the Central Library of the University, with reference to the history of education at the first period of Meiji era. We have extracted bibliographical data of these schoolbooks (including: impress of seals of the institution and existence of notes written by students) and put them on digital data (Exel-Data). We have thus accomplished an alphabetical list of all the extant schoolbooks for the use of researchers of the history of Education in the first age of Meiji era. The following is principal results of our research. 1)An important part of the schoolbooks was transferred to the School of Foreign languages (presently the University of Foreign languages of Tokyo). These books were dispersed, as a result of the fluctuation of the educational system, to the University of Hitotsubashi, the Faculty of Arts of the University of Tokyo and the University of Kyoto. An exhaustive research is needed. 2)Detailed analysis of these books informed us of two main tendencies of the educational policy in the predecessor-schools of the University of Tokyo : specialization of the curriculums in several subjects and monopolization of English teaching. In French and German, only the language textbooks were purchased for students of jurisprudence and engineering, who prepared their lessons consulting French-English or German-English Dictionary.. 3) The role of Wagner, an invited professor, was important at the choice of textbooks of engineering. 4) We have enlarged the knowledge of Scholarship students dispatched from each feudal domain.
