Waseda University started life as 'Tokyo Senmon Gakko (College)' on October 21 1882. Before this name was selected, it was known variously as 'Waseda Gakko' or 'Totsuka Gakko', after the location of the founder's villa in Waseda Village and the school's location in Totsuka Village respectively.
Around 1892, people started to call it 'Waseda Gakko'. It was renamed 'Waseda University' on September 2 1902, upon acquiring University status.
