  History of Gakushuin
Gakushuin remained in Kyoto through the Meiji Restoration when the capital of Japan was moved from Kyoto to Tokyo, formerly Edo.
Gakushuin's dedication to the education of women may be traced back to September 1885, and the founding of the Peeresses' School, which would later become the Girls' Division of Gakushuin.
Gakushuin Women's Junior College Division became independent of the university as Gakushuin Women's Junior College in April 1953 and continued to play a prominent role in women's higher education until the founding of the present tertiary, four-year Gakushuin Women's College in April 1998.

  Gakushuin University - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gakushuin University (学習院大学 Gakushūin Daigaku) or formerly Peers School (now incorporated as the Gakushuin School Corporation) is an educational institution in Tokyo established in 1877, during the Meiji period, for the education of the children of the Japanese aristocracy, though it eventually also opened its doors to the offspring of extremely wealthy commoners.
Comparable to the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge and Dublin, the Gakushuin used to also be a special dietary constituency (cf university constituency) of the House of Peers.
After World War II, Gakushuin became a private institution and established new educational affiliates, the most important of which is Gakushuin University.

Mano, Department of Physics, Gakushuin University, Mejiro 1-5-1, Toshima-ku, Tokyo 171, Japan Critical properties of diluted Ising and Heisenberg ferromagnets are investigated by use of a spin-cluster approximation series, which is a series of mean field type approximations obtained by expanding the free energy into a spin-cluster series.
The reason why the critical behavior of the diluted systems cannot be characterized by the critical indices is accounted for from the point of view of the existence of large, rare and quasiordered regions where the spin correlation has developed enough before the temperature reaches the critical one.
