Hartshorne Hall

Hartshorne Hall is the iconic symbol of Tsuda University. Completed in 1931, it was named in honor of Anna Cope Hartshorne, a lifelong friend of Umeko Tsuda since their time at Bryn Mawr College, who devoted herself to the construction of the new campus.
In February 2001, the building was officially designated as a "Selected Historical Building" by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.

The Tomb of Umeko Tsuda

Umeko passed away before the completion of the Kodaira Campus, but she had expressed in her will her desire to be laid to rest on this land. Following her wishes, and after difficult negotiations with the Tokyo Prefectural Government (now the Tokyo Metropolitan Government), special permission was granted to establish her grave within the university grounds.
