Abstract
THE Universite Libre de Bruxelles was founded on November 20, 1834, by Theodore Ver-haegen (1796-1892) and a group of friends, a few days after the opening on November 4 of the Catholic University at Louvain. It was housed at first in the buildings now occupied by the Musee Moderne, but was removed in 1842 to the site in the rue des Sols which it occupied until recently. After the War, mainly through the generosity of the “Com mission for Relief in Belgium” and the Rockefeller Foundation, a new Cite Universitaire was created at Solbosch, adjoining the Bois de la Cambre. These buildings include a very fine hall and library with appropriate buildings for the faculties of arts and law, whilst the faculties of science are housed in a capacious but more utilitarian building behind the main frontage. A large hostel has also been provided for men and women students, with generous accom modation for non-residents.
