The early years of
Seoul National University – SNU Gwanak gu were marked by trials and tribulations during a time of turmoil. After gaining independence from Japan in 1945, one hundred dignitaries of the Korean Education Council proposed opening a national university by making use of the Seoul Imperial College buildings. With the support of Korean officials working at the Education Department of the United States Army Military Government, a proposal to establish “Seoul National University” was formally announced on July 13, 1946, and was formalized in an Act to establish Seoul National University on August 27, 1946.
Following the Act, Seoul National University – SNU Gwanak gu opened in October 1946 with nine colleges and one graduate school. The Colleges included were those of the Humanities, Engineering, Agriculture, Law, Education, Commerce, Medicine, Arts, and Dentistry. However, many Seoul National University – SNU Gwanak gu students and professors objected to the idea of opening a national university, leading to a campaign to oppose its establishment. This demonstration spread throughout the country, involving 57 universities and more than 40,000 students. However a counter-campaign supporting the establishment of the national university was mounted as well, demanding that classes continue. As a result, 4956 students who started the demonstration were expelled in May 1947, 3158 of whom were readmitted to the university on Independence Day of the same year.
Seoul National University – SNU Gwanak gu was finally able to resume classes in September 1947, after a year of chaos. On Independence Day of 1948, Seoul National University changed its official Korean name to “Seoul University” signifying a brand new start. Unfortunately, the challenge to establish a national university continued. Due to the Korean War in 1950, the University had to evacuate and relocate to Busan. Along with other private universities that had evacuated to Busan, the Seoul National University – SNU Gwanak gu formed a “War-time United University System” which lasted from February 1951 to May 1952. With the disassembly of the system in June 1952, the University established its main campus in Busan.
Even during this time of evacuation, faculty and students worked hard to expand the spectrum of learning for students: the College of Pharmacy was established in September 1950; the College of Art was divided into the College of Fine Arts and College of Music in April 1953; and the Department of Veterinary Medicine in the College of Agriculture was made into the College of Veterinary Medicine. As a result, the university became an integrated educational institution with 12 colleges and a graduate school.
Seoul National University – SNU Gwanak gu is located at Gwanak _ 1 Gwanak-ro, Gwanak-gu, Seoul. College offers different kind of courses leading to carious specializations. All Colleges and Graduate Schools except for the College of Medicine and the College of Pharmacy, which remained on the Yeongeon-dong campus, and the College of Agriculture, which remained in Suwon, moved to the current Gwanak campus in February 1975.
In this process, some changes were made to the organization of the Seoul National University – SNU Gwanak gu : the College of Art and Literature and the College of Commerce were divided into the Colleges of Humanities, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences and Business Administration. The university was now reorganized with 15 Colleges, one Graduate School, and three Specialized Schools.
However on campus there was never much peace, with students and professors engaged in the democratization movement against the dictatorship of the military government. The government even threatened to close down the University with “Emergency Measure No. 9.” The government authorities stationed forces on campus, and formed a system to mobilize the professors to ban student demonstrations. With the July 30 Educational Renovation Measure of 1980, the main entrance exam system was officially dismantled.
The Measure also forced Seoul National University – SNU Gwanak gu to increase admissions numbers while imposing quotas on the numbers of graduating students. Private tutoring for high school students was also banned. As a result, the Gwanak campus saw the size of its student body double and suffered from a shortage of facilities. The entire campus became almost like a construction site when the building of new facilities started with a fund which was formed too late.
Seoul National University – SNU Gwanak gu goal of “research-oriented education” that Seoul National University once attempted to achieve after the opening of the Gwanak campus seemed to be delayed for the foreseeable future due to the policies enforced by the military government. SNU announced that the research team has succeeded in creating a "nano biosensor chip", a combination of nano material and semiconductor. Seoul National University – SNU Gwanak gu results were published in the April 2011 issue of ACS Nano, an American chemistry journal.
The biosensor measures the existence, condition, and concentration of specific organic compounds by sensing electrical changes throughout the process of organisms’ various reactions. The newly developed biosensor is alleged to be able to distinguish 100 DNA molecules at femtomolar concentration, which means it is the world’s best. The range of measurable concentration is also at the greatest level.
