History

Founded in the 16th century

The University of Lausanne is evident from the Schola Lausannensis who had founded the Bernese authorities shortly after the conquest of Vaud. As the founding year of the UNIL is the year 1537, in which it has been established as a theological Académie de Lausanne, for the training of pastors to life. 1552 the theologian and reformer Theodore Beza was appointed rector of the Lausanne Academy, which enjoyed at that time as the only French-language university for Protestant theology, a high profile. One of the first teachers was the famous naturalist Conrad Gesner, has been the physics which since 1537 professor of Greek language and from 1541 professor.

1547 the first regulations of the university ( Leges Scholae Lausannensis ) was adopted and the university consisted of a Latin school and four chairs:

  • The Department of Theology
  • The Department of Liberal Arts
  • The Department of Greek Philology
  • And the Department of Hebrew philology.

In 1708 a chair of each law and history was added.

In 1558, where about 700 students were enrolled at the Académie, Theodore de Beza resigned and went to Geneva in order to act on the side of his collaborator John Calvin, founder of Calvinism can. The Calvin also related Lausanne theologians came a little later in a dispute with the Bernese rulers, which in turn have been supporters of the Zurich reformer Ulrich Zwingli. The following year, the college had its first major crisis. From theological and political reasons, Pierre Viret, Lausanne pastor and driving force of the institution arose, with his colleagues against the government in Bern. Was relieved of his duties Viret and his colleagues then left Lausanne. Finally, the Bernese government in 1570 replaced the professors, who had founded the Schola Lausannensis and were now resigned immediately by Berner and French teacher.

In April 1587, 50 years after the beginnings of the Schola Lausannensis, the inauguration of the building of the Academy took place. The building in its former shape can be seen on the Buttet Plan ( 1638), the first true image of the city of Lausanne.

17th Century

1602 was a series of reforms. It was the Livre du Recteur introduced. Through their roll-call in that register the students did not realize the laws and regulations of the Academy. 1616 was the establishment of an academic council in Bern with a mandate to oversee all departments and to determine a principal every year. The study period was fixed at three years in the Department of Philosophy and two years in the Department of Theology. In addition, limited activity and the Professor set. A sovereign mandate of the Most Gracious lords of Berne admitted to the Academy in 1621, the right to education of theologians and also the ordination of pastors of the Reformed Church was permitted. A privilege of the Académie until 1838 made ​​use of. 1640 academic law was enacted, which renewed the reforms of 1616 and reaffirmed. 1699 the philosopher and mathematician Jean -Pierre de Crousaz rector and professor of philosophy and mathematics at the Académie was.

18th century

The academic regulations dated January 26, 1700 reiterated previous regulations and also saw the appointment of a protective and supervisory body, which consists of four curators who were chosen from the Bernese council members passed.

1708 a chair of law and history was created and the City Council of the City of Lausanne took part in the academic life and became a part of the payment of the professor of law. Since 1711 gave Jean Barbeyrac, professor of history and civil law and 1714-1717 Rector, the first time the traditional standard Latin as the Language of lectures and held his introductory lectures in French from. In 1741 the teaching of history, however, were reinstated and at the Department of Law lectures were offered only to natural and civil law. During this time, the Académie de Lausanne already belonged to 7 chairs in various disciplines:

  • Two chairs of theology ( dogmatics and polemics )
  • A Department of Hebrew and catechesis
  • A Department of Greek and morals,
  • A chair of philosophy, mathematics and physics,
  • A chair of rhetoric and fiction and
  • A Department of Legal Sciences.

After an inspection of the school in 1757 by the Bernese curator Albrecht von Haller, a well-known naturalist and doctor a new regulation was adopted. 1758 the teaching of the exact sciences has been provisionally separated from the Department of Philosophy and Louis de Treytorrens was appointed extraordinary professor of mathematics and experimental physics. In 1766 the famous Simon -Auguste Tissot for medical professor of the Academy was appointed. Although he did not teach regularly, but played thanks to its rich correspondence with the curator of the Academy, Albrecht von Haller, a significant role for the institution.

On January 24, 1798, the Vaud country became independent and the Bernese finally left the canton.

19th century

The character of the institution has been fundamentally changed by the Act of December 21, 1837 on Public Education in the canton of Vaud: You should train people for jobs that required higher education, as well as maintain the literary and scientific culture in the country. For the first time since its inception, the Academy was no longer primarily a school of theology. It was secularized, lost their ecclesiastical character, and thus the position of power that they had held for nearly three centuries.

As a language of instruction was introduced in the French language in the same year at the humanities and natural sciences, the theological and the Faculty of Law. On all three faculties Licences could be purchased and the number of chairs has been extended to a total of seventeen departments: three of Humanities, three of Philosophy, History and Political Science, three for mathematics and physics, four and five of Theology of Law.

1853 Ecole Spéciale de Lausanne, designed as a technical vocational school of the Académie de Lausanne after the model of the Ecole Centrale in Paris, at the initiative of five Vaud technical school technicians, professors was established for Math and Chemistry of the Academy. ( École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne - EPFL) From her subsequent Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne emerged.

The adopted on May 12, 1869 Law on Higher Education ( Loi du 12 mai sur l' enseignement supérieur ) gave the Academy the legal status by which it was to the university a few years later. From then on there were four equal faculties of humanities, natural sciences and mathematics, law and theology. The Technical vocational school of the Academy connected as technical faculty. In addition to the academic degrees of licentiate and the engineer, which could be purchased at the five faculties, now the doctoral degree was added. 1873 also a Faculty of Pharmacy was established.

Starting in 1886, held Heinrich Erman, since 1883 professor in Lausanne, German -language lectures on Roman law and it was a Chair of German law established in 1897, at the Erman lectured the new German civil law.

The Russian-born aristocrat Gabriel de Rumine (1841-1871), whose mother was from Lausanne, left in 1871, the city of Lausanne 1,500,000 francs for the construction of a public building. The city of Lausanne then decided, at the foot of the old town hill at Place de la Riponne to build a new university and led in 1889 an architectural competition by the French architect Gaspard André ( 1840-1896 ) won. This led to the construction of the Palais de Rumine, which was completed 17 years later, and has hosted several services of the Académie.

The law on public higher education by May 10, 1890 ( Loi sur l'instruction publique supérieure ) received the Academy the status and name of a university. The acting rector Alexandre Maurer, Professor of Comparative Literature and was at the same time last principal of the former Academy and first rector of the new University of Lausanne. In the same year also the medical school was established. The University was one of that time 300 students enrolled.

In 1893 the Department of Physics and Chemistry at the Place du Château has been established since 1895 and there are holiday courses for non - French speakers, which are offered by the Faculty of Philosophy.

In the 20th century, the University has been greatly expanded, and there were added many other disciplines. In 1906 was inaugurated the Palais de Rumine at Place de la Riponne the general service of the Academy, the auditorium, the scientific societies, the technical department and the university library were housed. The Palais de Rumine are today several museums, one of the four locations of the Cantonal and University Library of Lausanne. In 1901 the Department of Political and Social Sciences ( SSP) 1902, the Department of Modern French ( Ecole de français modern ) was created, established and affiliated to the Faculté des Lettres ( Faculty of Philosophy). In 1909 the Institute of Forensic Science and Criminology was ( IPSC ) launched and affiliated with the Faculty of Law. 1910 were enrolled at the Université de Lausanne total of 1,000 students. This number was not exceeded until the end of World War II. 1911, the Department of Business Administration ( HEC) was established. 1943, the School of Engineering has been connected a school of architecture.
