In 1895 Emperor Gojong issued Imperial Order 49 and established the National Law Academy as the first modern higher education institution in Korea.
The early years of Seoul National University were marked by trials and tribulations during a time of turmoil. After gaining independence from Japan in 1945, one hundred dignitaries of the Korean Education Council proposed opening a national university by making use of the Seoul Imperial College buildings. With the support of Korean officials working at the Education Department of the United States Army Military Government, a proposal to establish “Seoul National University” was formally announced on July 13, 1946, and was formalized in an Act to establish Seoul National University on August 27, 1946.
