 ends 31 March of the following calendar year* The school year is dlTidedi 

 into two terms: the sunmer term from 1 April to 31 October, and the 

 winter term from 1 Kovember to 31 March. A summer vacation from 11 July 

 to 10 September and a winter vacation from 25 December to 7 January are 

 provided. During the wea> these schedules were not always maintained. 



f. Students applying for entrance to the university must be 

 graduates of the higher schools (Kbto-5akko) , of the higher department of 

 the Peers School, or students who have satisfactorily passed an entrance 

 examination given by the faculty. The graduates of the higher schools 

 and higher department of the Peers School take precedence over other 

 applicants. At times only a fraction of the eligible students who apply 

 are admitted to the university, as all faculties and departments of 

 faculties are limited in the number of students they can accomodate. 



g. The number of students in the Department of Fisheries 

 dTiring the years 1942 to 1945 was about 60, or 20 in each of the three 

 classes. The niMber of students before 1942 was only about one-half that 

 number. 



h. Summer courses in marine zoology and fisheries are con- 

 ducted at the Marine Biologiced Station at Misaki, which is operated by 

 the Faculty of Sciences. Students in the first year attend these classes 

 and exercises for four weeks, in the second year for three weeks, and in 

 the third year attendance is optional. 



1. In addition to the faculties at the university and at the 

 Misaki Marine Biological Station, the Department of Fisheries maintains 

 two fisheries laboratories in Aichi Prefecture. One is at Shinmaikb on 

 Chita Peninsula and one is at Izumi-mura on Atsumi Peninsula. The' former 

 is Tised for the study of bay and shallow-water fishes, whereas the latter 

 is equipped for studying the cult\xre of frestv-water fishes. An aquarixim 

 is attached to the Shinmaiko Laboratory, where many freshr-and salt-water 

 fishes are exhibited to the public. Hesearch is also carried on in the 

 culture of seaweed and oysters. No instruction is given at these stations, 

 but their facilities are used by university staff members for research. 

 Only one professor and two assistants are on the resident staff of these 

 stations. 



j. About one-half of the yearly expenditiires of the university 

 is derived from government appropriations. The remainder is derived from 

 tuition fees and from incomes of properties owned by the University. 



k. The research carried on by the faculty and the senior 

 students is usually published in the Journal of the College of Agriculture. 

 In 1943 publication was suspended. It was then in its fifteenth volume. 

 At times fisheries researches are also reported in the Journal of the 

 Faculty of Science (Volume 6, 1943), in Annotationes Zoological Japonenses
