Ewha Archives Revealed Two Unreleased Photos of Independence Activist Yu Gwan-sun

Ewha Womans University revealed for the first time two unreleased photos of Patriotic Martyr Yu Gwan-sun (1902-1920), an independence activist from Ewha Haktang. During the preparation of the special exhibition titled “The Independence Activists of Ewha” held to commemorate the centennial of the March 1st Independence Movement and the 133rd anniversary of the university's foundation, Ewha Archives discovered two photos of Yu Gwan-sun in Ewha in the Past, the photo albums housed in the Ewha Archives. Ewha in the Past, consisting of 89 photo albums, contains photos of the university from 1886, when Ewha Haktang was founded, to the 1960s. The photos of Yu were found in volumes one and four, which are presumed to be taken when she was in Ewha Haktang's normal (botong) school (1915-1916) and in high school (1918). Yu Gwan-sun transferred to Ewha Haktang around 1915-1916 and graduated from Ewha Haktang's normal school in 1918. She went on to high school in April 1918 and attended there until 1919. On March 1, 1919, when the March 1st Independence Movement broke out, Yu took part in a street demonstration with other students. As the school was ordered to close, she returned to her hometown where she was arrested during the street demonstration in Ahwoonae marketplace. After Yu died for the country from malnutrition and torture on September 28, 1920, A. Jeannette Walter, a teacher at Ewha Haktang (the fifth principal of Ewha Haktang) recovered Yu's body and held a funeral under the surveillance of Japanese police. The special exhibition titled “The Independence Activists of Ewha” will be held until May 16, 2019. This special exhibition features photos and relics donated by bereaved families of six independence activists (Marcella Shin, Dorothy Lee, Aesiduk Hong, Aesiduk Hwang, Shin Uigyeong, and Choi Seonhwa) from Ewha Haktang who sacrificed themselves for the country and the people together with photos of Yu Gwan-sun.

Celadon housed in Ewha Museum was designated as National Treasure No. 326.

Jar with the Inscription “the 4th Year of Sunwha,” Celadon Housed in Ewha Womans University Museum, was Designated as National Treasure No. 326. The Jar with the Inscription “the 4th Year of Sunwha” housed in the Ewha Womans University Museum was designated as National Treasure No. 326. As one of the oldest jar preserved intact with the inscription, the Jar with the Inscription “the 4th Year of Sunwha,” which has been housed in the Museum since 1957, has been known for its unique shape, color, and inscription. This jar is 35.2 centimeters tall with no decorative patterns. Inside the foot at the bottom of the jar, an inscription is engraved, which reads, “In the 12th year of King Seongjong’s reign of Goryeo (the year 993), Choe Gil-hoe, master craftsman (or inspector) in charge of producing ritual vessels in the dynasty, made ritual vessels for the first hall at taemyo (royal ancestral shrine) for King Taejo of Goryeo.” This jar is of great value as chronological records since the inscription contains the information on the celadon’s production such as manufacturing techniques used to make celadon and the makers and the users of ceramics during the early Goryeo period in the late 10th century. This becomes the second National Treasure housed in the Ewha Womans University Museum in addition to the Jar with Grapevine Design in Underglaze Iron, which is National Treasure No.107.

Ewha Joins Hands with Maeil Business Newspaper to Train Anti-Money Laundering Experts

Ewha Womans University has signed the university-industry collaboration agreement with the Maeil Business Newspaper on March 7. This agreement was concluded with the intention of pursuing both the university-industry cooperation project and the talent nurturing project, which was designed to train anti-money laundering experts demanded by domestic financial institutions and companies to cope with the fast-changing global environment. In accordance with the agreement, Ewha’s College of Business Administration will establish Ewha-Maeil Business Newspaper Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Academy to nurture anti-money laundering professionals. Especially given that Korea is due for evaluation of its anti-money laundering measures conducted by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) this year, it is all the more imperative to train experts in a systematic way. In the academy curriculum, specialists equipped with specialized knowledge and field experience will deliver lectures on the law and regulations on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing system, as well as various cases of relevant system management at home and abroad. Kim Heisook, president of Ewha Woman’s University, said, “I hope that the anti-money laundering expert curriculum would serve as a good model, so that Ewha and Maeil would work together in the future to develop and manage other various profound and professional programs corresponding to the needs of the specialized society.”
