- Its history as an imperial university of Japan is, however, never mentioned at its official site. The site only says that it was established in 1946.
What exactly does this want to say? 1. The University officialy doesn't acknolwdge its orign. 2. The history at the official site is incorrent. 3. Simple omission for human factor? -- Taku 03:46 Mar 16, 2003 (UTC)
I don't know its formal position. What is sure is that it makes no mention of Keijo Imperial University at http://www.snu.ac.kr/engsnu/about/history.htm and other college history pages. But I found few pages mention it, so "never" is inaccurate. BTW, what's "Keijyu"? I've never heard such a word. -- Nanshu 07:39 Mar 16, 2003 (UTC)
SNU is founded by acquiring Geongseoung Imperial University, Geongseoung Industrial College and some more colleges in 1946.
Officially, people in Seoul National University doesn't think its origin is from Geongseoung Imperial University. -- Gene H Park 01:01 April 14, 2004(UTC)
But their linkage is obvious. Keijo Imperial University had 予科, 理工学部, 法文学部 and 医学部. I checked the websites of the SNU colleges corresponding to these departments. Today the College of Law (http://law.snu.ac.kr/eng/law/law3.htm) and the College of Medicine (http://medicine.snu.ac.kr/english/main1_sub02.asp) do trace back their histories to Keijo Imperial University. SNU can ignore it with a notional operation but it seems difficult to hide the fact when they mention to the details. --Nanshu 02:43, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I think we are talking about the history of Seoul National University. not about the colleges of the Seoul National University. In the wiki page about the colloges of Law or the college of Medicine, we can trace back to the Geongseong Imperial University. But we can't say the origin of Seoul National University is from GeoungSeong Imperial University. -- Gene H Park 07:07 January 17, 2005(UTC)
