Seikei University

Seikei University (成蹊大学, Seikei daigaku) is a private university in the Kichijōji area of the city of Musashino, Tokyo, Japan.

Its name derives from a passage in the Records of the Grand Historian by Sima Qian.[citation needed] Its campus is noted for its rows of zelkova trees, which is listed as one of the 100 Soundscapes of Japan.

The university was established as a university in 1949 under the new School Education Law. Its predecessor dates back to 1906 and was supported by Koyata Iwasaki, the fourth head of the Mitsubishi zaibatsu.[citation needed] Before World War II, the institution was financially supported by donations from Mitsubishi Group. After World War II, it became independent from Mitsubishi Group after dissolution of the zaibatsu. However, Seikei University still has close connections with the Mitsubishi Group. This university has many graduates from families of noble or business backgrounds.

The university is one of the Tokyo Four Universities (Seikei, Musashi, Seijo, Gakushuin), the grouping of universities that evolved from pre-war high schools.

École des Mines de Paris ranks Seikei University as 89th in the world in 2009 (89th in 2008) in terms of the number of alumni listed among CEOs in the 500 largest worldwide companies. (The university is also ranked 9th in Japan.)

The university and its attached schools are jointly managed by the Seikei Gakuen School Corporation (学校法人成蹊学園).
