発刊された『創価大学50年の歴史』（非売品）
創価大学の開学は、1971年4月2日。この年は初代会長・牧口常三郎先生の生誕100周年であり、この日は第2代会長・戸田城聖先生の祥月命日である。
創大建設のドラマは東京・西神田の会社からほど近い、大学食堂の一角での師弟の語らいから始まった。50年11月16日、戸田先生は若き日の池田先生に語った。「人類の未来のために、必ず創価大学をつくらねばならない」「世界第一の大学にしようじゃないか！」
当時、戸田先生の事業は苦境にあったが、心には教育への大いなる理想が燃えていた。創価教育学を体現する学城の建設は、牧口先生の悲願でもあった。
先師・恩師が胸に抱き続けた構想は、池田先生の手によって現実のものとなる。
60年に第3代会長に就任した池田先生は、多忙な激励行の合間を縫って、大学建設の準備に心血を注いだ。恩師の七回忌を迎えた64年に創大の設立構想を正式に発表。執筆した著作の印税等も資金に充て、幾度も建設現場に足を運んだ。そして71年4月2日、ついに創大は産声を上げたのである。
桜花群れ咲く創価大学のキャンパス（東京・八王子市）。三代の師弟の熱願に貫かれた「人間教育の殿堂」から、平和貢献の世界市民が陸続と躍り出る
以来、半世紀――。池田先生は、徹底して学生を大切にし、教育環境の充実に力を尽くした。世界の大学等との交流の道を開き、キャンパスを舞台に各界の識者との人間外交を繰り広げた。先生の限りない慈愛のもと、多くの平和貢献の人材が社会に羽ばたいている。今や創価大学は、世界に燦たる人間教育の大城として、一段と輝きを放つ。
「創価の学友よ！ 不二の同窓よ！ 貢献と勝利の人生を、威風も堂々と飾っていってくれ給え！ 永遠に私と一緒に！」（「発刊に寄せて」）
創価三代の精神が脈打つ師弟の学府――この原点を胸に、創価大学は勝利の未来へと力強く飛翔する。
田代理事長の談話 同窓生の連帯が10万人に

本学は創立者・池田先生の思想と行動に共鳴する多くの方々の真心によって築かれ、支えられている「民衆立」の学府であります。
ゆえに混迷の時代の闇を晴らし、民衆のために尽くし抜く価値創造の世界市民を育む使命があります。この使命は、未来永遠に変わることはありません。
今春、創大生をはじめ留学生や大学院生、通教生、短大生を含めた同窓生の連帯は10万人を超えました。平和貢献の人材が、各界で輝きを放っています。
また、本学の国際性豊かな教育プログラムは近年、高い評価を得るまでになりました。文部科学省の「スーパーグローバル大学創成支援」事業の中間評価で、最高の「S」評価を2回連続で獲得しました。
隆々たる発展を遂げた50年の歴史を振り返る時、命を削って本学を創立された創立者への感謝は尽きません。
次の10年、さらにその先の未来へ。創立者の構想の実現のため、学生・教職員が一体となり、人間教育の世界的拠点を築きます。
Soka University's 50th Anniversary "50 Years of History" Completed, Professor Ikeda Presents "For Publication"
April 1, 2021
The great castle of human education that shines in the world
Soka University (Hachioji, Tokyo) will celebrate the 50th anniversary of its founding on the 2nd tomorrow. In commemoration of the meaningful Kabushi, "50 Years of Soka University History" was published (not for sale), which includes the history of university construction. To this, the founder, Daisaku Ikeda, wrote and presented "For publication". This paper introduces the history and development of Kyoto tomorrow over half a century. At the same time, "For publication" will be posted separately at the top and bottom.
Published "50 Years of Soka University History" (not for sale)
Soka University opened on April 2, 1971. This year is the 100th anniversary of the birth of the first chairman, Tsunesaburo Makiguchi, and this day is the anniversary of the death of the second chairman, Josei Toda.
The drama of Sodai Construction began with a conversation between a teacher and a pupil in a corner of the university cafeteria, which is close to the company in Nishikanda, Tokyo. On November 16, 1950, Professor Toda told his young Professor Ikeda. "For the future of humankind, we must create Soka University." "Let's make it the world's number one university!"
At that time, Professor Toda's business was in a difficult situation, but his great ideal for education was burning in his heart. The construction of a school castle that embodies Soka's pedagogy was also a long-cherished wish of Professor Makiguchi.
The concept that the mentor/teacher kept holding in his chest became a reality at the hands of Professor Ikeda.
Professor Ikeda, who became the third chairman in 1960, put his heart and soul into preparing for the construction of the university during the busy encouragement. In 1964, when he celebrated the seventh anniversary of his teacher, he officially announced the founding concept of Sodai. He visited the construction site many times, using the royalties of his writings as funds. And on April 2, 1971, Sodai finally gave birth.
Soka University campus where cherry blossoms bloom (Hachioji, Tokyo). From the "Hall of Fame for Human Education", which was sought after by the three generations of teachers and pupils, the world citizens who contributed to peace jumped out.
Since then, half a century. Professor Ikeda thoroughly valued the students and made efforts to enhance the educational environment. He paved the way for exchanges with universities around the world, and engaged in human diplomacy with intellectuals from various fields on the campus. With the endless compassion of his teacher, many peace-contribution personnel are flying into society. Soka University is now shining even more as a world-class castle for human education.
"Soka's alumni! Fuji's alumni! Give me a dignified life of contribution and victory! With me forever!" ("For publication")
Soka Gakkai's spirit of the third generation is pulsing. With this origin in mind, Soka University will fly powerfully into the future of victory.
The discourse of Deputy Chairman Ta: Solidarity of alumni reaches 100,000
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to each and every one of our graduates, parents, and supporters who have sincerely supported our university, including support for the 50th-anniversary donation project.
This university is a "popular" school built and supported by the sincerity of many people who resonate with the thoughts and actions of the founder, Professor Ikeda.
Therefore, it has a mission to clear the darkness of the times of turmoil and to nurture the world citizens of value creation who will do their best for the people. This mission will never change in the future.
This spring, the solidarity of alumni, including university students, international students, graduate students, commuting students, and junior college students, has exceeded 100,000. Human resources that contribute to peace are shining in various fields.
In addition, our university's international educational program has gained high praise in recent years. In the mid-term evaluation of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's "Support for the Creation of Top Global University Project", we received the highest "S" evaluation twice in a row.
When looking back on the 50-year history of prosperous development, we are grateful to the founder who lost his life and founded the university.
For the next 10 years and beyond. Students, faculty and staff will work together to build a global base for human education in order to realize the founder's vision.
