Soongsil University
      Soongsil University, the first four-year Christian college in Korea, was established by William M. Baird (1862-1931; see above) in Pyongyang on October 10, 1897.
  During the Japanese colonization of Korea (1910-1945), Soongsil, commonly acknowledged as a college of the Korean people, was the guardian of the national conscience and pride, producing numerous national leaders who fought for our nation's independence with their lives.  Soongsil even had to be closed in 1938 due to the pressure from the colonial government.  Three of the thirty-three people who signed the Declaration of Independence were Soongsilians; many Soongsilians, including Manshik Cho, led independence movements such as the famous "101 People Incident."
  There are numerous famous graduates from this university: Iktae Ahn, the composer of the Korean national anthem; Jamyung Hyun and Taejoon Park, pioneers in Korean modern music; Dongjin Kim, the composer of 'Kagopa'; Nakjoon Paik, Myungson Kim, Kichun Yoo, Leewook Chang, and Sungshik Kim, leaders in Korean education; Hyunseung Kim, Kyucho Kim, and Soonwon Hwang, well-known literary figures.
  Today, Soongsil University comprises 8 graduate schools and 8 colleges, where approximately 12, 000 students are receiving quality education from their excellent and dedicated faculty.

 (Saturday 4 November) Me with Korean Joycean beauties.  This was the moment I became a "Yong-sama" (the Japanese honorary name of the popular Korean actor Bae Yong-Jun, 1973-).  In fact, the Korean pronunciation of the Chinese characters of my name is "I-Dong Yong-Ji-Rang."  Thus I am phonetically qualified to become "Yong-sama" in Korea!
