2014100 Years since the Inauguration of the Carol I University Foundation Palace - First Day Cover

The Carol I University Foundation hosting over a century of history, was meant to become“an institution for the benefit of the youth from all the faculties in the country, whose aim will be to offer students a place of assembly, equipped with a library always open, where they can satisfy their love of study”, as King Carol I (the initiator of the project) wrote to Lascar Catargiu, his counselor, on May 3rd, 1891, the letter being considered a genuine founding act and a guide for those who would further lead the institution.
