Educational points of view of women's national's, moral's as a educational thought's. In 1908, having realized the importance of educating women to achieve the self-reliance of our country, the late Dr. Cho Dong-Shik, also known as Choon-Kang, founded Dongwon Girl's School(Eui-sook). This was a time of impending crisis for the nation because the poisonous fangs of Japan were threatening the independence of Korea. The late Dr. Cho belived that the enlightenment of the people through education was a sine quanon for survival in such a situation. His ardent patriotism, his zeal for re-establishing the purloined national power and his eager passion for education made the late Dr. Cho an ideal conerstone on which to establish the Dongduk educational foundation. In 1910, Dr. Cho combined Dongwon Girl's Eui-sook and Dongduk, naming it 'Dongduk'. After that, he devoted his entire life to the improvement of Dongduk and education for women. This foundation became the cradle of the present Dongduk Women's Educational Foundation with five different levels of education : kindergarten, middle school, high school, university and graduate shcool. We are proud of having contributed to the nation and its people by educating women who have been leaders of the movement to restore the in dependence of the nation. We also take pride in having a capable, active body of graduates, many of whom are in positions of leadership in all walks of life In Korea and abroad. The late Dr. Cho's philosophy of education, which enlightened the people during those difficult years of trouble, is our university's spirit today. Our task now is not merely to keep what was given to us, but to enhance that ingeritance uninterruptedly and thus improve the spirit of education. Our educational goals have always endeavored to produce informed women with high morl standards because in every era effective education requires of the whole person development. When ethics and morality are deeply corrupted, as at this time, insistence of human values and the strengthening of morality, which the late Dr. Cho emphasized and practiced, must necessarily be our educational goals. We, the Dongduk family, will try our best to prepare the way for the new era in which a new nation and history of the Korean people will be brought to fruition. Established to educate women leaders for the nation and the society, Dongduk Women's University can be simplified into three mottos. Morality : To bring up a person to live an honest and responsible life and love to the nation and the people, taking pride in whatever he or she does. Truth : To bring up a person to be qualified as a leader to help the cultural improvement of Korea and of the world through the accumulation of knowledge and the study of academic truth. Harmony : To bring up a person to live a life with cheerful and positive spirit through cooperation with neighbours and addptation to the demand of the age.
