A debreceni egyetem a két világháború között három alkalommal adományozott díszdoktori címet holland tudósoknak vagy közéleti személyeknek. Az adományozás mindig valamilyen fontos eseményhez kapcsolódott (gyermekmentő akció, speyeri birodalmi gyűlés, Református Kollégium 400 éves jubileuma). A jelöltek kivála
...sztásában két fontos tényező játszott szerepet: protestáns kötődésük és/vagy Magyarország iránt tanúsított jóindulatuk. A díszdoktori címnek hét, a tiszteletbeli professzori díjnak nyolc holland kitüntetettje volt a két világháború között.

An Attempt to Establish a Department of Dutch Between the Two World Wars. On 20th June, 1921, Ms. Catharina Kuyper, daughter of the former prime minister of the Netherlands, visited Debrecen. This occasion brought the rector of the Hungarian Royal István Tisza University of Debrecen to write her aletter and ask
...her to convince the Dutch government of the importance of a Department of Dutch Literature and Culture at this university. Kuyper agreed with this wish and promised the board of the university her mediation to raise money for the new department. The managers of the university found a qualified person,dr. Zsigmond Nagy, for the leadership of the Dutch Studies. They received only goodwill support from the Hungarian government but no money. Nagy died in the spring of 1922 and the Dutch government refused to help establish a new Dutch department because of the hard financial situation of the Netherlands.

The Loan Transaction of Peregrine Students in Erlangen. The sources—four brief documents—made public here offer an insight into student life at the end of the 18th century: the high fees of tuition, especially the cost of their studies abroad, significantly impacted not only on the cost of education but on the subseque
...nt lives of the students as well. The ”peregrine students” were obliged to take loans, the burdens of which they had to carry for long years. Two of the documents here presented pertain to two peregrinators who completedtheir studies at the College of Debrecen but had earlier concluded a loan agreement in Erlangen, Germany. In the Archives of the Debrecen Protestant College we can read the texts of the original contracts, as well as the written documents submitted to the home church authorities in the matter of the reclamation of the loaned sum.
