62 In order to enlist support for the school this message on his ob-jectives was sent to acquaintances and prominent people as well as being published in magazines. This worked to appeal to a wide swath of the public and share Enryō’s intentions for founding the school. As we have already seen above all that was needed to establish a private school at the time was to notify the prefectural governor. There was no support from the government, but everyone was free to create their own school based on their own principles. On July twenty-second of the same year, an application for the establishment of the privately-run Philosophy Academy was submitted to the gov-ernor of Tokyo. The purpose of establishment was given as “teach-ing the various fields of philosophy, devoted to intensive training.” The name was given as “Philosophy Academy,” its location was “Tat-suokachō 31, Hongō ward,” and the two full-time teachers were listed as Enryō and TOKUNAGA (a.k.a. KIYOZAWA) Manshi. After the announcement of the opening of the Academy the re-cruitment of students began. The monthly tuition fee was one yen, and the school entrance fee was one and a half yen, with those ap-plying before September first receiving half off the entrance fee. The number of students was set at fifty, but according to a newspaper report on September seventh, the full number was met but was then extended to allow for an additional fifteen students. Despite this, there was no end to the number of applicants, so a second campus was set up to accommodate an additional eighty students. According to newspapers the school was soon full to capacity and no more ap-plicants were accepted.
