Frank Schofield
Frank W. Schofield (1889–1970) was a British-born Canadian veterinarian and Protestant missionary who was involved in the Korean independence movement against the Japanese Empire. Schofield graduated in 1910 from the Ontario Veterinary College, then in Toronto. He lived in Korea from 1916 to 1920, where he taught at the Severance Hospital Medical School and became involved in the Korean independence movement against the Japanese Empire. In possession of a camera, Schofield took photographs of independence protests, Japanese police and military, as well as rural villages in Suwon that were destroyed by the Japanese in April 1919. He wrote about these massacres in articles published in several newspapers and journals, as well as by investigative publications as part of the March 1st Movement. In 1920, he returned to his teaching position at the Ontario Veterinary College, first in Toronto and later in Guelph, Ontario. Schofield elucidated the etiology and pathology of moldy sweet clover poisoning, which led to the discovery of the anticoagulant warfarin. After his retirement from OVC in 1955, he returned to Korea and taught at the Veterinary College of Seoul National University. He died in Seoul in 1970 and was buried in the Korean National Cemetery, the first foreigner to be so honored. References
