One of the pieces of educational experiment apparatus used at The Fourth Higher School. This item is a Morse telegraph, and was used in electromagnetism for telegraph education. It is a simple model of Morse's (Samuel Finley Breese Morse) writing telegraph. Experiments can be conducted by connecting the key, receiver and battery. Communication between distant locations is possible if two of these sets are connected. Emperor Meiji was shown an experiment using this device when he visited Ishikawa Prefectural Normal Middle School in 1878.

Established in 1989 to preserve and utilize valuable materials handed down from the predecessor school when the university campus was relocated from Kanazawa Castle Site. Former teaching materials such as beautifully shaped physics experiment apparatus and mushroom moulage specimens that allow you to observe mushrooms as they were 100 years ago are fun-to-see natural museum materials in the museum's collection. The museum also holds many archive such as timetables that show the hard work of medical students 100 years ago, as well as archaeological materials excavated within the campus.
