Abstract
Nihon University, the largest private university in Japan, ran the school system with its board of directors using sports organizations to suppress and censor various student activities. And eventually, in 1968, when the National Tax Service exposed the fact that the board of directors in the university amassed a slush fund worth some two billion yen, students formed the organization of NichidaiZenkyōtō then and built barricades and began to struggle to dismantle the university system.
However, in 2018 on the occasion of its 50th anniversary, an illegal tackle was carried out by a player of Nihon Universityʼs American football team. This incident revealed various problems within the organizational structure of the athletic department as well as of the whole university. In this regard, it is indispensable to pay attention to the current activities of Reunion of Nihon Univ. 930. In other words, those members of the Reunion have continued to devote themselves as activists to record keeping in order to objectively examining themselves as an object of History. Through the reaction of the Reunion on current Nihon University issues, it is necessary to concentrate on the continuity of NichidaiZenkyōtō and its aspects. The reason is that the alumni association has made a conscious effort to record the genealogy of the Nichidai student movement.
This paper follows how the Reunion of the Nihon University 930 has developed its discipline to write NichidaiZenkyōtō gathered in the campus-related activism in the late 1960s. Furthermore, this study reviews the patterns and significance of NichidaiZenkyōtō based on direct interviews with the participants in these Reunion activities.
