ABSTRACT

This article is to study on the establishment and the changing process of university that took place in Busan after Liberation from Japanese colonial rule. The establishment of Busan Nat’l University and Dong-A Univ. was the initial start in college education at Busan and Gyeongnam province. In particular, Dong-A Univ. was not the start of Dong-A Univ. itself. It had a former Univ., that was to say ‘Namseon’ college or ‘Namjoseon Beopmunhakwon(南朝鮮法文學院)’. It became a representative university in Busan and Gyeongnam province, which launched private university education after Liberation. At that time, as for solving the local community’s desire to establish a university, a group of local public figures and U.S. military officials played an important role in the matter. Accordingly they sought to understand the confusion that has occurred in that social relations. In addition, this article aims to study the early establishment course of Dong-A Univ. and the education of law that were implemented for the first time since liberation. Namseon college, the predecessor of the present Dong-A Univ., had many problems in the school’s accreditation, which were insufficient finances, facilities and legal flaws. Therefore the school was renamed as ‘Namjoseon Beopmunhakwon(南朝鮮法文學院)’ without authorization. But in June of the same year(1946), the school was conditionally allowed to open with a one-year. In the end Dong-A univ.(President of the Foundation, Jeong Jae-hwan) undertook the Namseon college. After Jeong Jae-hwan took over (September 1946) the school, he went through a phase of re-establishment of his college education, especially law school department. This article ultimately carrys out a basic review of the actual law education of Dong-A Univ. after Liberation.
