Sungkyunkwan University

Sungkyunkwan University (à÷гνÓÞùÊÎè [abb. à÷ÓÞ; Seongdae; ¼º±Õ°ü ´ëÇб³ [abb. ¼º´ë]: in English: SKKU) is synonymous with both tradition and innovation in education. The literal meaning of the university's name (à÷гν) is "an institution for building a harmonious society" of perfected human beings. The founding philosophy of Old Sungkyunkwan is needed as much as ever today, in an era of technological advancement that seems devoid of humanity. The university's faculty of more than 1,000 are committed to quality teaching and research, offering students a challenging environment for intellectual and personal growth. Old Sungkyunkwan was founded in AD 1398 by royal decree (the Chosun [ðÈàØ] dynasty, 1392 - 1910) to promote the scholarship in Confucianism (êãÊ«). As a nation's highest educational institution, Old Sungkyunkwan went through vicissitudes with the country it served over the centuries. It would be misleading, however, to view the university merely in the context of its pre-modern history. The darkest period of the Old Sungkyunkwan came with the loss of its sovereignty to Japan. The Old Sungkyunkwan was degraded under the 35-year colonial rule (1910-1935). With the liberation of Korea, however, the Old Sungkyunkwan embarked on a massive project toward its restoration. After World War II, with the emergence of the Republic of Korea, the Old Sungkyunkwan underwent a renaissance as a private university. As Korea modernized and underwent social and economic reforms, the university grew rapidly to address the diverse demands of the advancing country. To meet the diverse demands of a democratic society, the system was reorganized into two separate bodies of jurisdiction: the Old Sungkyunkwan and the university. Since then, the two institutions have been developing separate paths in collaboration with each other. The Old Sungkyunkwan has carried on its traditional functions, such as observing the rites in memory of Confucius and his followers, while the university is devoted exclusively to education and research as a modern university. Though a long history alone cannot guarantee the excellence of an institution, the rich culture, which exudes from a long tradition, is surely a unique and valuable asset of the university. In addition, the university takes pride in the university's innovative spirit; as a result of the long efforts to place natural sciences on an equal footing with their strong foundation in humanities, the university now operates two campuses: the Humanities and Social Sciences Campus and the Natural Sciences Campus. What the university has achieved in the past fifty years meets and exceeds that of the five hundred years before World War II. Due to the national economic crisis, the university experienced a very serious financial problem in the early 1990s. However, the Samsung Group, Korea's largest company, has generously funded several core initiatives since 1996. The university has been rapidly developing and prospering again. The main university campus has been located in the original place (53 Myeongnyun-dong 3-ga, Jongno-gu, Seoul 110-745, Korea) since the foundation in AD 1398.

Bibimbap is served as a bowl of warm white rice topped with namul (sauteed and seasoned vegetables) and gochujang (chili pepper paste). A raw or fried egg and sliced meat (usually beef) are common additions. The ingredients are stirred together thoroughly just before eating. It can be served either cold or hot. Bibimbap has also gained popularity in other East Asian countries including Japan. At the cafeteria of Sungkyunkwan University.
