Taida, which will soon celebrate its 70th anniversary, was originally called Taihoku Imperial University. It was established in 1928 by the Japanese governor-general, during the Japanese occupation period. Its purpose was to "bring into play the special char acteristics of Japan and southeast Asia to study Taiwan's status and evolution."
將歡度七十周年慶的台大，原名「台北帝國大學」，是日據時期台灣總督府為了「發揮東洋及南洋的特色，研究台灣之地位及沿革」，在一九二八年創辦的。
