 note = {In this article, I examine the state of the humanities in Japan in the late 1910s. During the Meiji era, an intellectual was someone of high educational background and learning in Japan became synonymous with science. Therefore, an intellectual was a scientist. Notably, the study of modern Japanese thought generally focuses on people who studied the humanities. From this, it is important that researchers of modern Japanese thought think about the existence of the humanities first. As a method for this study, I have adopted the following procedures. First, I confirm that applied sciences were shown respect in the late 1910s. I show that the domain of natural sciences was valued by political power and citizens alike. Then, I discuss the decline of the social status of the humanities. I focus on the course of the people who learned the humanities technically and compare this with the people who learned other sciences. I show that people came to not want to study the humanities and that people who did study the humanities suffered at their workplace. Naturally, this situation was a grave concern to humanities scholars. Then, I present the phenomenon caused by this situation, offering a severe critique of law department practices at the time. Specifically, in contrast to graduates of the departments of literature, law department graduates uniformly enjoyed very high social status. However, intellectuals insist that corrupt practices lead to this ghettoization of the humanities. These intellectuals go on to insist on the significance of the existence of the humanities. To conclude this paper, I present the reflections of intellectuals who have discussed the origin of the problem of the state of the humanities., 本研究は、京都大学人文科学研究所・共同研究B「第一次世界大戦の総合的研究」の共同研究員として行ったものであり、その研究成果の一部である。},
