125th anniversary of Deusto University

Deusto, the doyen of Basque universities, was founded 125 years ago. To celebrate this anniversary the university organised a wide-ranging programme of activities including an exhibition under the title “Deusto, 125 Years” and the publication of the book La Universidad de Deusto entre dos siglos [“Deusto University, Straddling Two Centuries”] by María-Jesús Cava, who occupies the Chair of Contemporary History. The Rector, Jaime Oraá, has stated that these activities were organised “with an eye to the past, but also an eye to the future”.
