University Establishment
Likewise, a university may define its date of establishment by:
- The date at which the papers of its incorporation was approved
- The date on which it first opened for the teaching of classes
- If the university derived from a previously-established institution, either the reorganization or the establishment of the parent institution.
Yet still more variations on the definition of the date on which a university was established are possible as considered reasonable by each university's governing body or executive officers.

Famous quotes containing the word university:
“In the United States, it is now possible for a person eighteen years of age, female as well as male, to graduate from high school, college, or university without ever having cared for, or even held, a baby; without ever having comforted or assisted another human being who really needed help. . . . No society can long sustain itself unless its members have learned the sensitivities, motivations, and skills involved in assisting and caring for other human beings.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
