Yonsei University is a private university located in Seoul, South Korea. The university was formally established in January, 1957 through the union of Yonhi College and Severance Union Medical College. This was a result of a lasting bilateral cooperation between the two colleges which had begun much earlier, in the 1920s. The institutions were new to Korea at the time of their inception — Yonhi is one of the first modern colleges, founded originally as Chosun Christian College in March, 1915, and Severence has its roots in the first modern medical center in Korea, Gwanghyewon, founded in April, 1885.

History

1885 - 1916

The Yonsei University Medical School dates back to April 10, 1885, when the first modern hospital practicing western medicine in Korea, Gwanghyewon (광혜원 廣惠院, House of Extended Grace), was established. April 10 is the 100th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (101st in leap years). ... 1885 (MDCCCLXXXV) is a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar (or a common year starting on Saturday of the 12-day slower Julian calendar). ... See drugs, medication, and pharmacology for substances that are used to treat patients. ...

The hospital was founded by Horace Newton Allen, the American protestant missionary appointed to Korea by the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A (from here on the Church). The hospital was renamed Jejungwon (제중원 濟衆院, House of Universal Helpfulness) on April 23. There appeared numerous difficulties, and thus the Church appointed Oliver R. Avison to run Jejungwon on July 16, 1893. Initially, Gwanghyewon was financed by the Korean government, while the medical staff was provided by the Church. However, by 1894 when the First Sino-Japanese War and Gabo reforms took place, the government was not able to continue its financial support and thus, management of Jejungwon now came fully under the Church.
In 1899 Avison returned to the US and attended a conference of missionaries in New York where he elaborated on the medical project in Korea. Louis H. Sevrance, a businessman and philanthropist from Cleveland, Ohio, was present and deeply moved. He later paid for the major portion of the construction cost of new buildings for the medical facility. Jejungwon was renamed Severance Hospital in his name. Horace Newton Allen (1858 - 1932) served as a diplomat in the 19th century. ...

Jejungwon (later Severance Hospital) was primarily a hospital but it also performed medical education as an attachment. The hospital admitted its first class of 16 medical students selected through examinations in 1886, one year after its establishment. By 1899, Jejungwon Medical School was independently and officially recognized. Following the increase of diversity in missionary denominations in Korea, collaboration began to form — with time, Jejungwon began to receive medical staff, school faculty and financial support from the Union Council of Korean Missionaries (한국연합선교협의회) in 1912. Accordingly, the medical school was renamed Severance Union Medical College in 1913. Severance Hospital (Hangul: 세브란스 병원) is a hospital located in Sinchon-dong, Seodaemun-gu, South Korea. ...

The rest of Yonsei University traces its origins to Chosen Christian College (조선기독교대학), which was founded on March 5, 1915, by another American protestant missionary sent by the Church, Horace Grant Underwood. Underwood became the first president, and Avison vice president. It was located at YMCA. Courses began in April with 60 students and 18 faculty members.

History written above cleary suggests that Severance Hospital and College of Medicine orginated from Jejungwon(Gwanghyewon). Recently Seoul national university hospital claimed that they are historically linked to Jejungwon(Gwanghyewon). The statement is criticized by medical historians as hollow, without any supporting evidences

1917 - 1936

On August 22, 1910, Korea was effectively annexed by Japan with the Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty. The first Governor-General of Korea, Terauchi Masatake, introduced Ordinance on Chosun Education (조선교육령) in 1911, and subsequently Regulations on Professional Schools (전문학교 규칙) and Revised Regulations on Private Schools (개정사립학교 규칙) in March, 1915. These were intended to stifle private education in Korea; any establishement of schools, any change in school regulations, location, its purpose, coursework or textbooks must all be reported to and authorized by the governor-general, and all courses must be in Japanese. Severance Union College struggled to meet these requirements; school regulations and coursework were altered, faculty evaluated and enlarged, its foundation and its board clarified. It received its recognition as a professional medical school on May 14, 1917^[1]. In 1922 the governor-general Makoto Saito issued Revised Ordinance on Chosun Education (개정조선교육령). It called for more strict qualification of the faculty, and Severance reacted obediently and further recruited more members with degrees from creditted institutions in North America and Europe. Japan did not completely ignore the competence of this institution; In 1923 Severance recovered its right to give medical license to its graduates without state examination which had been lost since 1912. Moreover in March, 1934, Japanese Ministry of Education and Culture further recognized Severance in allowing its graduates the right to practice medicine anywhere within Japanese sovereignty.

Ordinances in 1915 and 1922 also affected the fate of Chosun Christian College. First intended as a college, it was not legally recognized as such, since the Ordinance (1915) did not allow the establishment of Korean private colleges. Hence Chosun Christian College, now renamed Yonhi College, was formally accepted only as a professional school on April 17, 1917, then a joint project from diverse missionary denominations. However, Yonhi in reality had formed the organization and faculty becoming a university. It consisted 6 departments; humanities, agriculture^[2], commerce, theology^[3], mathematics & physics, and applied chemistry. The ordinances, furthermore, prohibited coursework in Korean history, its geography, or in Bible outside the department of theology. Council of missionaries reacted with A Resolution on the Revised Educational Ordinance (개정교육령에 관한 결의문)^[4] which carefully pointed out that Japan did not apply such rigorous absurdities to its private schools in mainland Japan.
After March First Independence Movement in 1919, Japan somewhat relaxed its grip on Korea, and this is reflected in the Ordinance (1922). It ceased the arbitrary control of governor-general over the coursework and the qualification of faculty members, and altered its stance on strict separation of religion from all education. This recognized Yonhi as a professional school equal to its counterparts in Japan, and permitted it to include Christian programs and the Bible in its coursework. Nevertheless, Japanese literature became mandatory in turn.^[5]
Under Japanese intervention, Korean history was taught under the name Eastern History and Korean language was taught whenever possible. ^[6]
Yonhi was liberal in its admission of non-Christians. Its policy was to admit non-Christians relatively freely and allow the majority Christian students to gradually influence and assimilate them.
Both Severance and Yonhi were closely involved in independence movements. Some faculty members of Severance and Yonhi were directly involved in the March First Independence Movement, as were their students. Severance continued its contribution by printing The Independence in the basement of one of its buildings, and Yonhi was as active as any other schools, so that by the end of the movement only 17 students were left. Yonhi students were active participants of Chosun Student Council for Scientific Research (조선학생학연구회), which was one of the leading groups in the Mansei movement of June 10, 1926. Yonhi Student Council and many faculty members belonging to the clandestine Shin Gan Society (신간회 新幹會) gave full support to the Gwangju Student Movement; students were apprehended, Shin Gan Society was exposed.

1937 - 1945

In the late 1930s, Japanese again shifted its policy towards Korea in order to incorporate it to its war machine. In August, 1936, the new Japanese Governor-General Jino Minami enforced Sōshi-kaimei on Koreans, and began to recruit Koreans for Japanese war efforts. In April,1938 the third Ordinance on Chosun Education called for acceptance of Shintoism, voluntary removal of Korean language in coursework and further intensification of Japanese and Japanese history education. However, Yonhi Professional School did not follow suit and opened courses on the study of Korean language in November, 1938. This was not tolerated for long and in March, 1940, Yonhi was forced to open courses on Japanese studies for each department and each year. From 1938, English also began to come under pressure following deterioration of relations between Japan and United States. Coursework in English and texts of English writers were forbidden. In 1938, President Underwood accepted the practice of Shintoism to avoid the fate of closing down Yonhi. Governors-General pushed Yonhi to refuse financial support from United States and financial difficulties amounted.
On individual level, Yonhi faculty members and its students were apprehended or investigated during this period for their involvement in real and alleged resistance movements.^[7]
In 1939, the United States government recalled all its citizens and missionaries in Korea; Underwood and some of the faculty refused to leave Korea until forced to in 1941-1942, following the outbreak of the pacific war. Japanese military officers were dispatched in Yonhi for military training in 1940 and forced labor began in 1941. Scientific equipments, building parts, and even statues were seized and part of the campus was occupied by Japanese air force. On August 17, 1942, Yonhi was designated as enemy property, and thus was appropriated and further managed directly by an apointee from the Governors-General. By October, 1943, students were practically being conscripted and in 1944 dormitories were converted into barracks. Finally, on May 10, 1944, Governors-General closed Yonhi and replaced it with Kyungsung Industrial Management School (경성공업경영학교). 1930 (MCMXXX) was a common year starting on Wednesday (link is to a full 1930 calendar). ...

Reputation

Main building

Yonsei is regarded as one of the most prestigious in South Korea.^[8] Yonsei University belongs to a group of three universities in Korea nicknamed "SKY" schools. The acronym was coined from the initial letters of the three highly exclusive universities in Korea: Seoul National University, Korea University, and Yonsei University. The general notion is that the alumni of the "SKY" schools have, more or less, held major positions in diverse fields in Korean society for decades. Therefore an admission into these three universities is arguably considered the first step into the high society. Unsurprisingly, this widely accepted view fuels tough competition in high school education in Korea.^[9] Image File history File links Download high-resolution version (2097x567, 499 KB) File links The following pages on the English Wikipedia link to this file (pages on other projects are not listed): Yonsei University ...

University shield

The "ㅁ" and "ㅅ" in the University shield are derived from the first letters of "면세"(Yonsei). The circle "ㅇ" represents the ideal of a complete and well-rounded person, while the "ㅅ" symbolizes the upward-looking strife for scholarly excellence. In addition, the "ㅇ" stands for Heaven, the "-" represents the horizon of the Earth, and "ㅅ" signifies "Man" as expressed in the Chinese character (人). The open book stands for Truth, the torchlight signifies Freedom, and the shield protects these two core principles of the University.

Yonsei University is also the home of the most reputable Korean language Institute in Korea. Yonsei KLI caters to students studying Korean from all parts of the world with a focus on Grammer and Writing.
