The contest, which was held on August 23rd at Yonsei University, aims to encourage students to enhance their understanding of humans and the world through reading and discussing classics and to promote a culture where lecturers and students discuss classics together. Students who are attending four-year universities were qualified for the contest, and the participants presented on two books selected from among the classics designated by KNIGE.
