History of Kyoto Pharmaceutical University.
The origin of Kyoto Pharmaceutical University dates back to the year 1884, when the German School of Kyoto was founded in Kamigyo Ward. Those who established this school were disciples of Rudolf Lehmann, who came to Japan in 1869 and was employed as a teacher of German and mathematics by Kyoto Prefecture in the following year. After he had taught in Ogakusha, or the European Learnings School, and other prefectural schools in Kyoto, he moved to Tokyo in 1882. Soon after the establishment of the German School of Kyoto, the Pharmaceutical Department was set up as an additional course. In 1890, this department was closed and a new school named the Pharmaceutical School of Kyoto was established. This school developed into Kyoto Pharmaceutical College in 1919 and then to Kyoto Parmaceutical University in 1949 after the Second World War.
