Description

This article examines the history of the Keijo Imperial University Preparatory Course (Keijo Teikoku Daigaku yoka) with its emphasis on its "Korean factors" and "Japanese factors." The conclusions can be summarized as follows : Overall, Keijo Imperial University, located as it was in Korea, had far more "Japanese factors" than "Korean factors." Two thirds of the students in its preparatory course were Japanese, while around one third were Korean. About half of the Japanese students were graduates of middle schools in Korea, the other half coming from Japan. Thus consideration on the "Japanese factors" should be given respectively in the case of the Japanese students and that of Korean students. The faculty of the Preparatory Course mostly consisted of Japanese and therefore had few "Korean factors" in terms of race. Yet the "Korean factors" cannot be eliminated, because not a few professors were employed in Korea, especially at the time of the foundation of the course. This is a distinctive feature of the Preparatory Course, in contrast to the university program which had the principle of employing only professors from Japan.
