The long history of Waseda University’s Memorial Hall will soon come to a close.
On July 5, the “Farewell Memorial Hall Basketball Memorial Game” was held at Memorial Hall. The home court for the Basketball Club, Memorial Hall has been the site of crushing defeats, glorious victories, and grueling practice sessions. To commemorate Memorial Hall, around 120 members of the Basketball Club and the OBOG Association participated in a passionate memorial game backed by enthusiastic supporters.
