Today Ewha has colleges of liberal arts, music and fine arts, law and political science, medicine, pharmacy and education. It runs 70 laboratories, two hospitals, two kindergartens, two demonstration schools. Though a goodly proportion (68% this year) of its graduates go into teaching, many are married to top figures in Korea (among them: Lee Ki Poong, speaker of the National Assembly; Kim Tai Sun. mayor of Seoul; Admiral Sohn Won II, former Defense Minister; Choi Kyu Nam, Education Minister). Men with Ewha wives still call themselves Pan-kwan (the Henpecked), but the term is now used with pride. "Ewha's struggle," says President Kim, "is more than a mere educational movement. It is a women's movement for the emancipation of women and the cause of women as a whole . . . The times follow us, rather than our following the times."
