科学的精神の徹底で矢上から世界へ｜1941
我が庭球部の歴史
明治25年（1892）、慶應義塾体育会は剣術・柔術・野球・端艇・ 弓術・操練・徒歩の7部をもって創設されました。「先ず獣身を成して而して後に人心を養う」という言葉に代表されるように、慶應義塾の創設者である福沢諭吉は、体育教育の重要性にいち早く注目した人物でもあったのです。慶應義塾体育会は激動の20世紀の中で、日本スポーツ界の先導的役割を果たすとともに、文字通り「文武両道」の優秀な人材を各方面に輩出してきました。（歴史｜慶應義塾体育会より引用）
慶應義塾体育会矢上部硬式庭球部は、慶應義塾体育会会則第49条に基づいて、慶應義塾体育会に設置されている団体です。そこで、入部を認められた塾生は同第5条1項により慶應義塾体育会の会員と扱われ、慶應義塾大学矢上キャンパステニスコートの管理・優先利用など、在学中さまざまな特権に恵まれます。我が庭球部は、1941年4月に藤原工業大学鍛錬部（現・慶應義塾体育会矢上部）庭球部として活動を開始して以来、科学的精神を徹底するテニス界の先導者として国内外で光輝を放ち、文武双全の卓越した人材を各界に送り出してきました。これからも、気品と智徳を兼ね備えた、全社会の先導者としての理想を追求し続けます。

History
The Keio University Athletic Association was established in 1892 with the 7 clubs of swordsmanship (kenjutsu), jujutsu, baseball, boating, Japanese archery, drills and walking as its first members. As can be extrapolated from his words, “First build up the body of a beast, then cultivate the heart of a human”, Keio University founder FUKUZAWA Yukichi was one of the first educators to realize the importance of physical education. During the turbulent 20th century, the Keio University Athletic Association played a leading role in the Japanese sports scene and produced talented individuals in various professions who were “accomplished in both scholarship and sports”.
