A short time ago, I received a call from Han Sang-man, voicing his disappointment that his father’s contributions to Korean development had been virtually forgotten.
Han’s father helped rebuild Seoul National University and the Korean education system.
These contributions, which started in 1954, just after the ravages of the Korean War, were so extensive that Han’s father received great recognition during his service.
On top of the Ph. D. he had already earned from the University of Minnesota, he received a further honor for which most Korean students only yearn ― a degree from Seoul National University.
In 1961, he was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Law from SNU “for meritorious contributions to the development of human culture and the advancement of world peace.”
His contributions to Korean development were such that President Park Chung-hee is reputed to have called him Korea’s “Father of Higher Education.”
So who is this great Korean that time and history have nearly forgotten? His name is Arthur E. Schneider. Surprised? Don’t be.
