a structure separated from the rest of the urban environment, although it is not so strictly limited as in the USA university centres,” says Science Pro-rector. „To my mind, this tendency is slowly decreasing. It is more likely that the university will be integrated within urban environment, as it is planned in Tornkalns. Speaking about Tornkalns, we had no intention to draw boundaries or separate the campus from the surrounding environment, but to use all nearby urban infrastructure, as well as private gardens, in order to integrate the University campus within the city.”When the development of Tornkalns territory is completed, the building of Raina Boulevard 19 will still retain its functions, serving as a place for legal science students and the whole management and administration of the University.

at the time when most of the people who came to the university on foot used the side stairs, whereas those who had some means of transportation, ascended the central stairs. Imagine, for example, a carriage of a wealthy student’s family. Indeed, it could be that the myth arose because those UL students who travelled in style and came up the central stairs remained at the university much longer and graduated much less frequently. The female students at the University of Latvia, Faculty of Humanities pass examinations more successfully if they wear a blue dress. The story of the blue dress at the Faculty of Humanities (the Faculty of Philology at the time) was particularly popular in the 1980s, when many Western countries experienced a rapid economic upswing, evolution of production and technologies, and, consequently, fashion and style – extravagant hairstyles, bright colours and expressive silhouettes.

Mēs godinām Ukrainas varoņus un apbrīnojam tautas drosmi un garaspēku. Mēs esam kopā ar Jums un vienmēr paliksim Jūsu sabiedrotie. Слава Україні! Героям слава! ENG In these days, the academic community of the Faculty of Law, the University of Latvia, in its thoughts and hopes is with Ukraine – with all our friends, partners of cooperation, colleagues, and peers.
