[edit] History
Sogang started as a college in February 1960, Fr. Kenneth E. Killoren, S.J. being its first President. Sogang College opened its doors on April 1960 with six departments : Economics, English Language and Literature, History, Mathematics, Philosophy and Physics. The first classes began on the 18 of April, 1960 with 166 students.
On December 1969, Sogang became a full University consisting of Liberal Arts College with six departments, College of Science and Engineering with five departments and Commerce College with three departments.

[edit] University symbol
The cardinal color, which is also the university color, symbolizes love, the holy spirit, martyr, loyalty, and victory. The silver chevron comes from the first letter 'ㅅ' of 서강(Sogang), representing the intellect spirit of Sogang, and an Ivory tower. 'IHS' comes from the first letters of the Greek name Ιησους(ΙΗΣΟΥΣ) of Jesus. The medieval crown stands for the Virgin and Trinity, meaning wisdom.
