| Details | It is common phenomenon that few students listen to their presidents' remarks at the entrance ceremonies. However, the presidents usually declare their universities' educational purposes and policies in those speeches. In this paper, I conducted a text-mining analysis in which I compared presidents' speeches with diet discussions. The analysis revealed that the Japanese diet aims for some of the universities in Japan to be listed among the top 100 universities in the world and is less interested in educating for globally-oriented citizens. On the other hand, there are numerous insightful ideas and messages in the presidents' remarks. |
