- Displayed materials are related to the institution's founding process, management, education, research, and student life. Photographs of the first president, classroom scenes, and former school buildings are also on display. The Compilation Committee sincerely hopes that the exhibition will deepen the understanding of, as well as provide new insights into, the history of Kobe University.
