Dorsman dives into university history |
Out of the thousands of people who study and work at Utrecht University, fewer and fewer of them know anything about the history of this institution. We can do better than that.
Leen Dorsman was a Professor of University History until 1 August 2022. Each month on UU.nl, he describes something from the long history of the UU that you should know. The first blogs are now online: on excessive hazing and the turbulent history of the university library.
