Introduction
Kwassui Gakuin was founded in Nagasaki in 1879 by American missionary Elizabeth Russell and named 'Kwassui' (living water) in 1881; it grew into Kwassui Women's University. The Higashiyamate campus sits on Dutch Slope, where Russell Hall (1882) now serves as a memorial hall. The campus is closed to visitors — admire the halls from the lanes.
