  The author gives an overview on the history of a quarter of a century of the youngest foreign workshop of Hungarian studies, namely, Department of Hungarian Language and Literature of the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Zagreb. The education on Hungarian studies started in Zagreb in 1944 and was precedented. At the University of Zagreb the Hungarian Language Department was functioning as early as the second half of the 19th century. Form 1904 to 1918, for almost one and a half century at the same place Hungarian language and literature was educated with the direction of professor Dr. Kázmér Greska. After the collapse of the Austrian-Hungarian Monarchy the representatives of the Croatian National Council radically put out professor Greska from the university and closed down the department. It was impossible to reorganize it in Yugoslavia between the two world wars. A new possibility came only after the independence of Croatia in 1994. The work in the department restarted on the basis of an interstate contract under the leadership of professor Dr. Milka Jauk-Pinhak and with the partnership of visiting teachers from Hungary. Today, under the management of Orsolya Žagar-Szentesi, 25-30 students start their studies at the department in each year. The function of the special college of translation of poetic works is outstanding. The department in 2002 celebrated the 900 years jubilee of the coronation of Kálmán Könyves as Croatian king with the representative volume of essays entitled Croato-Hungarica. The department was introduced in the „Hungarian issue” of the journal Književna smotra, the Zagreb journal of world literature in 2014 on the 20th jubilee of the department. Their latest publication is With heart and Soul/ Dušom i srcem Hungarian-Croatian Somatic Phraseology/ Mađarsko-hrvatski rječnik somatskih frazema (2018).

• UNIVERSITY ANNIVERSARIES AND THEIR CELEBRATION IN THE HUNGARIAN HIGHER EDUCATION

  In the XXth and XXIst centuries, Hungarian universities have experienced a tremendous transformation as a result of historical changes, and this transformation is still happening today. Not only have the names of the universities changed three or four times, but their organisational structure has also changed countless times. Several institutions have separated from their former universities, others have merged with other higher education institutions. In 2000, several integrated universities were established, but their departmental organisation has changed so many times since then, that it is very difficult to know when and from which institution each university counts its founding and when they have their anniversaries. Understanding the past of Hungarian higher education is also complicated by the fact that some of the predecessors of Hungarian universities were founded before the WWI in cities in now neighbouring countries. In the article below, after giving some examples from Europe, we summarise the changes that have taken place in the organisation of Hungarian universities dating back at least a century. We give  a presentation about when and what foundations were celebrated by the Hungarian universities and what historical or more simple jubilee publications were published on these occasions. We also list the universities that have taken such care of their own past resources that have become university archives. Last but not least, we highlight the possible important university anniversaries in the near future.

  Jubilarian Academic Writing: Reflections on Commemorative Volumes of Institutional History. The present survey of both the theoretical ramifications and practical dilemmas of jubilarian academic writing attempts to look at the nature, conceptuality, and generic properties of commemorative writing as representative texts of institutional history in the ”groves of academe.” Particular attention is attributed to those personalized and self-contained volumes which have been earmarked as special gifts by peer-group members – most often colleagues and former students – in honour of professors and associate professors in the year of their jubilee, which also tends to be the year of their retirement. In the history of the Institute of English and American Studies, University of Debrecen, so far 7 Full Professors (listed in the chronological order of the year of their respective jubilees: László Országh [1993 and 2007: 2 vols.], István Pálffy [1999], Péter Egri [2002], Béla Korponay [1998 and 2008], Zoltán Abádi-Nagy [2010; 4 vols.], Donald E. Morse [2011 and 2012: 2 vols.], Zsolt Kálmán Virágos [2012; 2 vols.]) and 4 Associate Professors (Sarolta Kretzoi [2009], Csilla Bertha [2011], Béla Hollósy [2013], and Péter Pelyvás [2014]) have been the beneficiaries of commemorative volumes as special and honorary gifts. The author of the survey painstakingly documents the bibliographical details of all the respective essays published.

  The quarter-century commemoration refers to the fact that the University of Debrecen started operating as universitas officially, i.e. according to laws implemented by the state. The reunification actually took place in 2000, therefore, now is indeed the time to commemorate the re-establishment of the unified University of Debrecen. However, prior to this, certain events had already taken place that led directly to the establishment of a unified university.  But to where and when can we put the initiation of this process? Can we link it to a certain date? The answer is yes. It may also be interesting to note that these lines are written by someone who has been involved from the very beginning and has been able to work on the re-establishment of the various 'universities' operating in different parts of our city.

  In the first phase of the history of the Faculty of Humanities, University of Debrecen, several lecturers were in close connection with arts. This study intends to introduce primarily the musical significance of Professor Béla Pukánszky from Pozsony. In the course of the research, I attempted to read and process the surviving documents of the personal legacy along with the critiques, reviews and jubilee studies written by contemporary scholars and colleagues. In Béla Pukánszky’s case, I relied on the documents preserved in the Manuscript Archive at the University of Debrecen (minutes, concert invitations, handwritten and typed music history performances), and especially on his wife’s correspondence. As a result, I report on Béla Pukánszky’s art-related scholarly and educational pursuits as writer and lecturer, and demonstrate the proactive role he undertook in the artistic life of Debrecen, Budapest, and the whole of Hungary. Thus, my work contributes to the previous research results on the important activities of the faculty’s and the town’s nationally outstanding intellectual circles in the fields of cultural history, cultural education and art patronage.

  Budapest’s Eötvös University is 375 years old—Report on ELTE ’s Anniversary Celebration. In 2010 Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary’s oldest continuously operating institute of higher education, celebrated the 375th anniversary of its foundation. The university’s legal predecessor was established in Nagyszombat in 1635 by Péter Pázmány, Archbishop of Esztergom. The text describes the major stages of the preparation for the year of jubilee and the most significant events of the festive year. The chief purpose of the series of events, it is stated, was to strengthen the sense of belonging in the former and current civil community of the university. In addition, the series of festivities offering a multitude of year-long professional and cultural programmes reminded all of the fact that the university, owing to the programmatically high standards it is committed to represent, is an outstanding shaper of scientific and scholarly activity and of training new generations of intellectuals.

  A significant milestone in the history of the Urology Clinic in Debrecen was celebrated with a jubilee lecture series held on May 10, 2024. Urological patients were initially treated from 1921 at the Faculty of Medicine of the István Tisza University of Debrecen, within the Surgical Clinic led by Tivadar Hüttl. In 1958, an independent urology department and outpatient clinic began operations within the Surgical Clinic, and in 1972, the urology care system was relocated to the II. Surgical Clinic at its current location. The independent Urology Clinic was officially established on July 1, 1974, under the leadership of Márton Kelenhegyi. In 1979, József Pintér became the clinic’s director, followed by Csaba Tóth in 1995. Professor Tóth introduced numerous open and endoscopic urological surgical procedures, was a founding figure in the field, mentored many renowned urologists both nationally and internationally, and placed strong emphasis on scientific rigor. Since 2006, the clinic has been led by Associate Professor Tibor Flaskó, who has further developed laparoscopic procedures. In 2022, the former Urology Department of Kenézy Gyula Hospital was integrated into the structure of the Urology Clinic
