It is hard to believe that 60 years ago enthusiastic students grabbed papers and pens and started to write to create the yearbooks of students’ life in Veszprém. The first newspapers appeared under the direction of János Farkas who was the first editor in chief. At that time, the university was a newly founded institution headed by Károly Polinszky, and it served as an inspirational environment that provided many things to write. In those days the university had to fight to get an excellent reputation both in Hungary and Veszprém.
As a result, youth of the town regarded university students as rivals who weaken their role in the community. Fortunately, Egyetemünk could help to decrease the emerged tension between the parties by facilitating communication. Since that time the situation has completely changed and the university with its students became a crucial part in the life of Veszprém.
There is a long story behind this newspaper with good and bad times, too. However, the future still has some surprises for us that we would like to present to you. If you want to be a part of this, follow us in the coming years.
