Nothing’s More Beautiful Than Professor Kim
His name is Kim In-bae, Honorary Professor of Department of Fish Farming of Pukyong National University, who retired in 1991. On 12 January, Professor Kim donated ₩203,444,656 to PKNU as a development fund. It was remaining balances from the Fish Farming Development Scholarship Association after it was winded up, for which he worked as a chairman. The association was founded by himself in 1988 and disorganized due to his retirement. The story about his donation is interesting. Professor Kim, who is considered as an authority in fish farming of Korea, had a rule. During his 40 years of teaching, he never brought his extra money home. He took an active part in Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) from 1972 as a specialist of fish rearing. He saved all the money coming from FAO, and this 150 million won became foundation money for the scholarship association. His students collected 32 million won and delivered it to him at his retirement ceremony in 1991, and it was also contributed to the scholarship. His wife has understood and supported the professor’s “unconditional” donation all her life, but after she heard about the farewell money, she finally scolded him to go stay at the scholarship association not to come back home. The money earned interest. As a result, since the establishment of the association, the amount of scholarship delivered to the students for 28 years was total of ₩398,521,500. Adding this to the donation to PKNU this time, the total amount of his donation reaches 600 million won. Professor Kim, who graduated Department of Marine Biology of Busan Fisheries University in 1949, the previous name of PKNU of the present, was professor of the same university for over 40 years. He has led the academic and technical development of fish farming through consistent research and teaching.
Even after the retirement, Professor Kim is intent on researching and developing sustainable and future-oriented closed fish farming system, which is suitable for the geographical and socio-economic environment of Korea. Being asked to leave a short message for the youths, he said, “I remember my old days. It was time of independent and war. I had to learn everything on my own, from building techniques to librarian works, not to mention school subjects such as maths and English. I tried my best to compete with myself of yesterday, not with other people. I worked with a pride that I always contribute to top notch jobs,” He also emphasized, “Do not take any job only to make money.” Pukyong University named the donated money Kim In-bae Scholarship, and decided to give 5 million won to the students every year. <Pukyong Today>
