research.
We cordially invite you to join the vital and fruitful
discussion in all fields of Physics and Chemistry of
Ice. PCI-2010 will be held at the Conference Hall on
the campus of Hokkaido University, located in the
center of Sapporo in Hokkaido, the northern-most
island of Japan1-3. We are proud to organize the
PCI-2010 conference at Hokkaido University that
has a long history of pioneering work on ice
research2, 4. Hokkaido University was founded in
1876 as Sapporo Agricultural College-the first
university in the nation that awarded bachelor's
degrees5-8.
Hokkaido University has been developing
internationally minded educators and researchers by
having them acquire expertise and make proactive
and comprehensive personal development through
general and specialized teaching as well as graduate
education.
"Boys, be ambitious!,"9 the phrase Dr. William S.
Clark, the first Vice-Principal10, 11, was quoted as
saying to his students before leaving Sapporo, is
well known among Japan's youth and also serves as
Hokkaido University's moto7, 9, 12-15.
In addition, while stepping up efforts to offer
attractive educational and research programs, we are
striving to become a global educational and research
center by realizing the "strict evaluation of learning
results" and "courses respecting the requirements for
credits more strictly," promoting education in
foreign languages, and building an advanced
human-resource development system that can
compete in the international arena.

Hokkaido University upholds "The Frontier Spirit,"
"Global Perspectives," "All-round Education" and
"Practical Learning" -- concepts that have been
developed over its history of more than 130 years as
the basic philosophies of education and research.
Currently, all the faculty members, students and
graduates are making concerted efforts to transform
their campus into a global base for education and
Hokkaido University is strengthening the
foundation of education and research by placing an
increased emphasis on graduate education. At the
same time, we are making our educational and
research organizations more efficient by promoting
further flexibility in the organizational structure of
graduate schools and advancing a faculty and
graduate school framework that is aimed at
conducting pioneering and interdisciplinary
strengthen cooperation with society.
Aiming to take more initiative and become more
self-reliant than ever, Hokkaido University
established the "Hokkaido University Frontier
Foundation" on the occasion of the 130th
anniversary of its founding in 2006, so that the
university would not only redouble its efforts but
also receive extensive support from enterprises,
individuals and alumni.

depended on spacious stables to shelter animals
from severe winters. The barn was one of nine
buildings, including a silo, bull-house, milking shed,
and tool shed built in the style of 19th century
American barns. It was moved to the present site in
1910, and extensive restoration was carried out in
1977-79. There is a restroom located outside this
building.
