The university had the same cadet-style uniform. I do not know how common this was in Japan. I apparently was a continuation of pre-War rules. The Prince left the university before graduating (April 1954). We are not sure just why this was. He later attended the university as an auditor for a further 2 years (until 1956). While he began studying political science and economics, he eventully took up his father's interest in marine biology.  With photos and text. ">
