The Myong Ji University Press first opened its doors and was accredited by the Ministry of Culture and Information on October 15, 1969. If a university is a place where research and education is conducted, then the university press is where these scholarly efforts finally bear fruit. In this sense, the activity of a university press ultimately reflects the scholarly productivity of that university. Through the years, the Myong Ji University Press has produced some 100 books, including scholarly books, cultural books, translations of the classics, an assortment of pocket editions, and treatises.  Keenly aware of the need for a more culture-centered education, Dr. You Sanguine, late founder of Myong Ji University, formed the Committee for the Promotion of Cultural Education in 1966 for the expressed purpose of translating and distributing classics of tested moral and educational value. In keeping with this noble spirit, the University later established the Cultural Education Research Institute to continue the classics translations project and to fortify classics education within the curriculum. The Myong Ji Pocket Edition Series is a direct product of these earlier endeavors. In years to come, the Myong Ji University Press will renew its efforts for the publication of a wider variety of scholarly books and university textbooks, ever faithful to its role as the harbinger of university scholarship and culture.
