As far as identified so far, the oldest reports were created Meiji 22nd (1889), two years after the school renamed as Higher Commercial School and the newest ones were created in Taisho 10th (1921) when the school has become Tokyo University of Commerce. Therefore, these report were practically created by students of Higher Commercial School and Tokyo Higher Commercial School (the school was renamed when Kobe Higher Commercial School was established).

The system of school trip that the school pay travel expense to some excellent students were established in Meiji 21st (1888), thereafter students conducted survey all around the country. Survey was conducted not only in Japan but also in some area of Eastern Asia. Fukuda Tokuzo, Sano Zensaku, and Miura Shinshichi, who became lecturers of the school later, were also the reporters. Furthermore, Beikoku Ryugakusei Houkokusyo

 【Azn:171】was created when Sano was studying in the US as assistant professor of Higher Commercial School. It means that this report is not written by students.

 Reports of business education, business habits, accounting and insurance are included as well as school trip report. According to the preface of School Trip Report, reports of business habits, accounting and insurance were submitted to Higher Commercial School Naikoku Zissenka but further exploration is needed to clarify the detail.

 How organized

 They were organized when transported. Call number were allotted then.

 Current call number based on neither publishing year, name of the author, nor what the authors belong to, its contents. So its rule is uncertain. Although some groups can be identified such as Business and Industry in Each Area  (Azn:1～142), Insurance(162～169), Business habits  (172～181／353～360), Accounting (183～207), documents which have different topic and submitted to different departments are categorized in the same group. Current call number is like this possibly because

  • Documents were classified in accordance with its type at certain points, but it was confused when they were transported to the Library.
  • They were not organized before transportation, but the Library classified as much as possible after they were transported.
  • Some other reports were mixed when lectures checked the reports, and then the call number were taken over Gakuseika, Shomuka, and the Library.
