東京理科大はなぜ夏目漱石「坊ちゃん」の母校なの？ 私大理系最難関の一角として知られる東京理科大学。イメージキャラクター「坊ちゃん」は言うまでもなく、夏目漱石「坊ちゃん」の主人公が元ネタです。さて、なぜ漱石は坊ちゃんを理科大OBにしたのでしょうか？なんとなく？たまたま？いえいえ、理科大卒でないと、あの見事なオチにはつながらないのです。というかあの話、「エリートのボンが物理で敵を撃破し、新興ハイテク企業に転職して人生ウハウハ」って話なんですよ。本当は。 Tokyo University of Science is known as one of the most difficult private universities for science majors. Its image character "Botchan" is, needless to say, based on the protagonist of Natsume Soseki's "Botchan". So, why did Soseki make Botchan an alumnus of Tokyo University of Science? Just because? By chance? No, no, if he wasn't a graduate of Tokyo University of Science, the brilliant punch line wouldn't have been possible. Or rather, that story is about "an elite bro defeating his enemies with “physics”, transferring to a new high-tech company, and living the good life." In reality.
