Anyang University - History

History

The school began its existence in 1948 in Seoul.

When the campus moved from Seoul to Anyang in 1980s, the school expanded to many areas of Liberal Arts and, later, to the areas of engineering, technology, and business as well. With such expansion, the school changed its name to "DaeShin University" in 1990, and the current name was adopted in March 1995. Dr. Youngsil Kim became the first president of the university since its conversion to university system. He was succeeded by Dr. Seung Tae Kim. Dr. Seung Tae Kim was educated in Korea and the United States (Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania), and has taught at this University for many years before he assumed this position.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “The history of the Victorian Age will never be written: we know too much about it.”
    —Lytton Strachey (1880–1932)

    “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    “History has neither the venerableness of antiquity, nor the freshness of the modern. It does as if it would go to the beginning of things, which natural history might with reason assume to do; but consider the Universal History, and then tell us,—when did burdock and plantain sprout first?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
