『교수회록』을 통해 본 전시체제기 말기(1942-1945) 고등교육기관의 수난과 보성전문학교의 대응

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the suffering of higher education institutions and response of Boseong College in 1942-1945 by analyzing Boseong College’s 『Minutes of the Faculty Council』. During this period, the Government General of Korea frequently convened university and colleges principals to deliver instructions. In response, the faculty council of Boseong College discussed the matters received from the Government General of Korea and implemented them almost as they were. This is confirmed through the response of the faculty council surrounding the labor mobilization policy, the establishment of training, and the student volunteer enlistment. This is judged to be ‘collaboration’. Rather, the resistance came from the students. They were absent from labor mobilization and training, tried not to apply for student volunteer enlistment, and sang a banned old school song when they saw off enlisted students. At the same time, many students left school. This is judged to be a passive form of ‘resistance’ that expresses its inner feelings that it will not cooperate with the policy of the Government General of Korea or school measures as much as possible.
