- Baiko Gakuin University
nihongo|Baiko Gakuin University|梅光学院大学|Baikō gakuin daigaku is a
private university inShimonoseki, Yamaguchi ,Japan .The predecessor of the school was founded in 1872, and it was chartered as a junior women's college in 1967. The school's emblem (a stylized plum blossom) and kanji name nihongo|Baiko|梅光|Baikō reflect the names of the two schools merged to form Baiko Gakuin.
In 2001, the school began to operate as a co-ed, four-year college; the women's junior college continued to run within the university until 2006, when it was dissolved and its operations folded into the University. The school has a long affiliation with its namesake women's junior high and high school, Baiko jo Gakuin, also in Shimonoseki.
The school's Latin motto "ut filii lucis ambulate" ("let us walk as children of light"), drawn from [http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=Ephesians+5%3A8 Ephesians 5:8] , reflects the Christian influence on its founding, an influence still reflected today in its daily chapel services and hospitality to Christian teachers.
