"Korean Tomb Carving"

This statue was a gift to Professor Willard Goslin from the South Korean Government. It was given in appreciation for the work of a Peabody faculty delegation headed by Professor Goslin, which went to South Korea after the Korean War to help rebuild the educational system. At the same time, a group of 32 South Korean educators came to Peabody to earn doctoral degrees. They returned to South Korea to train teachers there. Currently, the South Korean minister of education and approximately 75 percent of South Korean college and university deans of education have earned their doctorates at Peabody. The statue is from the tomb site of an ancient Korean king.
