Founded by American missionaries, Yonsei, which describes itself as a learning centre based on Christian principles, adopted as its motto: "The truth will set you free" (John 8:32). This mission school's 2007 charter mandates the make-up of its board as two Presbyterians, a Methodist and an Anglican. The university instructs around 29,000 students supervised by some 4,200 faculty members.
