  EPAA Vol. 10 No. 14 Lee: Japanese Higher Education Policy in Korea
Despite the fact that Keijo University was a prototype of a Japanese imperial university, it became a model for successive modern Korean universities.
Accordingly, the curriculum of Keijo Imperial University was almost identical to the Japanese imperial universities and the majority of the academic staff and students were Japanese (The Government-General of Choson, 1935).
In addition, Keijo Imperial University established by the Japanese Colonial Administration in 1924, was a precursor of the present Seoul National University, and has produced a large number of bureaucrats and talents as leading individuals who play important roles in the present Korean society.

However, it is quite well known that at the end of the colonial period in 1945, Korea had only one university _ Keijo Imperial, located in Seoul _ and a number of professional schools _ a cross between high school with some in-depth professional training and a junior college.
Outwardly, the newly founded universities followed the American model: Undergraduate education lasted for four years, there were two semesters each year and graduates could apply for a master’s followed by a doctorate.
The universities sabotaged the new regulations, and the public was not supportive of an idea that reduced the chances that their children and grandchildren would get a much-coveted university degree.

Yes, one of the most serious attempts to create a leftist nationalist underground in the 1930s was initiated by a Japanese intellectual, sympathetic to the plight of Koreans and highly critical of “his” own government (honestly, I do not think that he would describe the increasingly militarist and aggressive government of Japan as “his”).
This school, the only university of colonial Korea, was established as a major engine of Korea’s ‘Japanization,’ and hence was staffed almost exclusively with Japanese teachers (there were but two Korean professors there in 1945).
At the University Professor Miyake began to approach Korean students, and soon he had created an underground group of several dozens of people (the total of 119 were eventually investigated, but not all of them were active members of the Miyake group).

Seoul National University on Tuesday disclosed that 47 books of the Annals of the Chosun/Choson Dynasty looted during Japanese colonial rule will be returned by Tokyo University in mid-July.
The annals were taken to Tokyo University Library in 1913 by Masatake Terauchi, the first governor-general of Korea; most of the over 760 volumes were lost in a fire in the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake, and only 74 books fortuitously borrowed at the time escaped the flames.
In February, Akinao Fuzitsuka, the son of a professor at Keijo Imperial University, returned over 2,700 relics including 20-plus letters from the Confucian scholar Chusa Kim Chong-hui, while 135 items from the estate of the late Japanese Army chief were returned to Kyungnam University by Yamaguchi Prefectural University a decade ago.
