In the year 1881 or Meiji 14, Seisuke Ito was made a Professor at the University of Tokyo and this was where he studied and obtained his Ph.D. in the year 1888 or Meiji 21. He had the honor of becoming the first ever director of the gradate society and this was a position that he held with honor and pride. In the following years in the year 1901 or Meiji 34, he was once again given a great honor and was made Professor Emeritus; he was also bestowed with the honorable title of baron. Sadly, this was also the same year that he passed away at the ripe old age of 98 but it can be said that he really did accomplish a lot even in his advanced age and was indeed a man worthy of praise and a place in history.
