In the past two weeks, I learned about the history of Yeonsei University. Yeonsei University was founded by a British man named Underwood. He started the school when Korea was still a developing country, and he wanted to push Korea into modernization by educating the students. This is the reason why Yeonsei University's mascot is eagle and school color is blue. It is because of the western influence.
On the other hand, Gorye University, Yeonsei University's biggest rivalry school, has the mascot tiger, which is Korea's national animal as well as red as it's school color.
Learning about the history of the SKY schools in Korea was very interesting topic because I would have never learned this elsewhere.
