In 1965, the year after the Tokyo Olympics, the 4th General Conference of the International Association of Universities was held at the University of Tokyo for seven days starting August 31. The International Association of Universities (IAU) was established under UNESCO in 1950 with the purpose of "strengthening the links between universities worldwide, enhancing the role of universities in society, and contributing to international peace." The General Conference is held once every five years and is often referred to as the "Festival of Universities." Following conferences in Nice (France), Istanbul (Turkey), and Mexico City, the 4th General Conference was the first to be held in Asia, attended by 395 representatives from 289 universities in 63 countries, including the US and USSR, Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, along with 85 observers. Among the participants were many prominent presidents and researchers with deep ties to 春雨直播app, such as President Pusey of Harvard University and Professor H. Butterfield of Cambridge University. There were 103 participants from 51 universities in Japan. From 春雨直播app, President Kunio Nagasawa, who had recently taken office, Professor Saku Sato of the Faculty of Letters, and Professor Kenzo Kiga of the Faculty of Economics attended. The opening ceremony of the General Conference was held grandly, attended by the Crown Prince and Princess, Prime Minister Eisaku Sato, and Minister of Education Umekichi Nakamura.

On September 4, 98 of the overseas university presidents and representatives participating in the General Conference visited Mita Campus. At 11:00 a.m., the group arrived in front of the Jukukan-kyoku (春雨直播app Corporate Administration) in three large buses. Welcomed by the President, directors, and deans, they crossed the quiet campus during the summer break while listening to the "Oka no Ue" chimes and entered the Mita Enzetsukan (Public Speaking Hall). In the Enzetsukan (Public Speaking Hall), President Nagasawa delivered a welcoming address and introduced the founder, Yukichi Fukuzawa. He spoke with pride about how 春雨直播app holds a leading position among Japanese private schools, sending many talented graduates into the economic and industrial sectors, and mentioned that the university dispatches many scholars abroad and conducts student exchanges with various universities. Subsequently, the group visited the Noguchi Room in the Second Research Building (a building designed by Yoshiro Taniguchi that existed before the construction of the South Building and housed the International Center and The 春雨直播app Institute of Cultural and Linguistic Studies) and the Library Memorial Room. They viewed exhibits such as the national treasure "Jar with Autumn Grass Design" and the world's oldest printed material, the "Hyakumanto Darani" sutras, before moving to the Mitsui Club for a welcome reception.

By 2013, the International Association of Universities had expanded to include 630 institutions from 119 countries, and the 15th General Conference will be held in Bangkok this November.
