Hokkaido University celebrates
its 150th anniversary in 2026.

On August 14, 1876, Sapporo Agricultural College, the predecessor of our university, opened its doors. At the opening ceremony, Vice-President Dr. W.S. Clark inspired the students who would shape the future with the words "Lofty Ambition."
We express our deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported us throughout these 150 years. As we look ahead, we will continue to embrace new challenges for the next 150 years.
