그렇다. 1941년 부산 최초의 대학으로 설립된 부산수산대(부경대 전신), 그러니까 지금 부경대 대연캠퍼스 대학본부 자리에 있던 건물이 병원이었던 적이 있다. <부산수산대학교 50년사>에 따르면, 한국전쟁이 발발하면서 UN군이 부산수산대 학교건물(校舍)를 징발(1950. 7. 20.)한다. 이때부터 부산수산대 건물은 병원으로 사용됐다. 미군 야전병원이 철수하자 1955년 5월부터 스웨덴병원이 다시 학교를 사용했다. 부산상고(서면 롯데백화점 자리)에 주둔하던 스웨덴병원이 부산수산대로 옮겨온 것이다. 스웨덴 병원이 철수하고 징발이 완전 해제돼 부산수산대가 학교 건물을 돌려받은 때는 1957년 9월 25일. 학생들은 1957년 10월 27일 돌려받은 학교 건물에서 수업을 했다. 7년만의 반환이었다. 당시 부산수산대 스웨덴병원은 전상자뿐만 아니라 부산시민에게 수준 높은 의료서비스를 제공했다고 기록은 전한다. 1958년 국립중앙의료원 탄생의 모태가 될 정도로 우리나라 의료 선진화에 크게 기여했다. 그런데 학교 건물을 징발 당한 부산수산대 학생들은 그 때 어떤 상황에 처해 있었을까? 부산수산대 제조학과 53학번 정효택 동문(왼쪽 사진)의 증언을 들어보자. 2015년 10월 ㈜흥아 회장으로 있던 정 동문이 후배들을 위해 써 달라며 10억 원을 모교에 기부하면서 간담회에서 한 말이다. “당시 6.25 전쟁으로 인해 학교 건물이 병원으로 사용되는 바람에 영도 수산진흥원 옆에 임시로 판잣집을 지어 공부했는데 여름에 비가 많이 오면 교실에 물이 차 책상이 둥둥 떠 다녔다. 전문분야 교과서나 참고서를 구하기가 어려웠고 도서관도 없었고 실험실에는 플라스크 몇 개가 고작이었을 정도로 참으로 참담한 시대에 대학시절을 보냈다. 지금이 아무리 어렵더라도 그 때만큼은 아닐 테니까 용기를 가지라고 후배들에게 말하고 싶다.” 그렇게 전쟁의 아픈 상흔을 치유하고 감싸 안았던 곳이 바로 부경대학교다. 그렇게 전쟁으로 헐벗고 배고팠지만, 앞이 보이지 않는 내일이었지만 희망을 잃지 않고 내일을 힘껏 뚫고 나갔던 부경대학교 청춘이었다. <부경투데이> Was Pukyong National University once used as a hospital? Yes. The National Fisheries University of Busan (the present Pukyong National University), which was established as the first university in Busan in 1941, is the building that is now located at the university administration building of Daeyeon Campus at Pukyong National University. According to <50 Year History of the National Fisheries University of Busan>, as the Korean War broke out, UN forces called the administration building at the National Fisheries University of Busan into requisition (July 20, 1950). From this moment, the National Fisheries University of Busan had been used as a hospital. The war ended with the truce agreement in July 1953, but the US Army Field Hospital was still using building in the campus. When the US Army Field Hospital withdrew, the Swedish Hospital started to use the school again from May 1955. The Swedish hospital, which was stationed in Busan Commercial High School (located in the current position of Lotte Department Store in Seomyeon), was moved to the campus of Fisheries University. It was September 25, 1957, when the National Fisheries University of Busan returned the university building since the Swedish hospital was withdrawn and the requisition was completely lifted. The students restarted taking classes in the building from October 27, 1957. It was a building that was returned over seven years. The Swedish hospital, which was stationed at the campus of Fisheries University at the time, was reported that it provided high-quality medical services to the citizens of Busan as well as the war wounded. It contributed greatly to the advancement of medical care in Korea to the extent that it became the birthplace of the National Medical Center in 1958. On the contrary, how was the students’ situations of the National Fisheries University where the school building was requisitioned? Here is the testimony of Jeong Hyo-taek, alumnus of the 53rd, Department of Manufacturing at the National Fisheries University of Busan. In October 2015, this is what Mr. Jeong, a chairman of Heung-ah said at a meeting, donating 1 billion won to his alma mater for use by his university juniors. "At the time, due to the Korean war, the school building was used as a hospital so we built a temporary shack next to the Institute of Marine Science Promotion in Yeongdo, but when there was a lot of rain in the summer, when there was a lot of rain in summer, the desk was floating in the water." It was difficult to obtain textbooks or reference books related to specialties, there were no libraries, and there were only a few flasks in the laboratory, he spent his college days in a terrible era. "No matter how much difficult it is now, it will not be as difficult as that time, so I want to tell my school juniors to have courage." The place that felt and healed the sore wounds of war is Pukyong National University. Although we were forced to naked and hungry during the war, although we only could see no future ahead of us without hope, but we were the youths of Pukyong National University who had penetrated through tomorrow without losing hope. <Pukyong Today> |
