dc.description.abstract | Fl'om the pl'esence of Seoul National Univel'sity in Seoul
and Kim l1-Seong Univel'sity in Pyongyang we cleady see a case of a divided highel' educational system in KOl'ea. This papel' addl'esses a sel'ies of Questions concel'ning the educational ol'igins of the divided education system at the univel'sity level. Recounting both the traditional and l'evisionist views on the natUfe of socio-political movements against the Seoul National Univel'sity (hel'eafter, SNU) Plan, this papel' makes a claim that not the imposition of Amel'ican impel'ialist intel'vention, but a division within the val'iety of scholady ol'ganizations among KOl'ean academics and pmfessol's, who falJed to keep theil' pl'omise of Gl'and Unity, was conducive to the division. The two univel'sities wel'e created in Octobel' 1946 within just two weeks of each othel'. Hal'dly dJffel'ent wel'e the l'ationale and pl'ocedUfes behind the making of these two "Supl'eme Univel'sities': MOl'eover, seen fl'om the composition of the leading faculty membel's of each univel'sity, they were bOl'n as an identical twins. A bwJt in contradiction concerning university autonomy was the moving force behind the keen disputes about the SHU Plan which did not pel'mit any fo,m of seJl-j;Ovefnment of faculty membefs. A legendary tradition of self-government among professol's fi,st became the de facto legitimate practice dUfing the struggle fOf the freedom of academy in the history of the Japanese Impel'ial Universities. It was, howevef, maintained to pmtect the vested interests of professol' pfiVJJege and prestige which were nevel' shared with othel' pmfessofs in private universities Of colleges. Newly appointed pmfessofS, who were mostly graduates of imperial universities and were membefs of the progressive political parties and leadefs of vanous scholady ofganizations wanted to inhefit a pfogfesslve element of univefsity autonomy; while fefofm-mined bUfeaucfats who wefe gfaduates of Amefican univefsities and membefs of the fightist political pal'ties wanted to femove any feactive element of faculty autonomy which in fact led to the vicious Japanese tradition of school sectionalism. ContrafY to the claims made by the fevis.ionists, it was not the movement against the SNU Plan but the Plan itself that falled. The n'se of SHU was a compromlse between the two competing groups. Thl's gfOUp competition facllitated the diVl'sion. Key membefs of the fOfmef group who wefe opposed to the SHU Plan went to Pyongyang to actively p3fticipate in the making of Kim l1-Seong Univefsity and became the backbone of it Some of the legacies of impefial univefsities still femain at SNU. | - |
