addition to the info on the Univ. of Utrecht Wikipage
Hi,

perhaps add that it were the citizens of th city of Utrecht that founded and collectively financed the establishement of their university. It started with the Illustrious School (1634**) but check *) first. The citizens expected a university would bring more prosperity to the city. The University's Motto 'Sol Iustitiae Illustra Nos' underlines that quest. Each year, memorating this heritage, the University connects with the citizens and city again. ***)

And... is there a list of famous scholars that taught at the UU? Voetius did, but so did Descartes ****), and (the) Buys Ballot *****), and a few more but I don't have a list myself.
