The hall has become a landmark among students where entrance and graduation ceremonies, sports events, classes, Homecoming Festivals, and Waseda-Keio matches are held. The hall was also used for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics fencing competition and was visited by the current Emperor and Empress. The Japanese Olympic Committee even designated the hall as a national sports facility. \u00a0Beginning in August, the hall will undergo reconstruction and to commemorate this occasion, various sports teams and circles are organizing the &#8220;Sayonara Memorial Hall Event&#8221; to be held from June to the beginning of August. We encourage everyone to stop by the historical landmark one last time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28370\" alt=\"m1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2015\/06\/m1.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2015\/06\/m1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2015\/06\/m1-610x225.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>79<sup>th<\/sup> Waseda-Keio Volleyball Match<\/h4>\n<p>Memorial Hall, which has been used for volleyball league matches and the regularly occurring Waseda-Keio Match will host its final Waseda-Keio Volleyball Match.
