This framed calligraphy used to be hung in the lecture hall of former Fourth High School. This calligraphy was written by Marshall Imperial Prince Komatsuno-miya Akihito at the request from Principal HOJO Tokitaka, when the imperial prince visited Ishikawa to attend the general assembly of Japanese Red Cross Society in September 1901. The calligraphy was framed and hung in the lecture hall; since then the lecture hall was called Shisei-do. The Shisei-do Hall was constructed in 1893 and largely renovated in 1929; however, it does not exist and only the framed calligraphy tells its history now.

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.
