On a beautiful fall afternoon, I went for a walk around Yonsei University, located next to Seoul Foreign School where I teach. The gate to some traditional looking buildings was open this time, so I went on in. Nestled in the protection of the tall modern structures belonging to the university and Severance Hospital was Gwanghyeon, Korea's first modern hospital. Founded in 1883 by a Presbyterian missionary, the graceful structure fell into disrepair and was restored in 1987 as part of the university's centennial commemoration project.
