1
00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:04,124
There's only one date you should know: 1425.

2
00:00:04,287 --> 00:00:06,472
It's when the University of Leuven was established.

3
00:00:06,624 --> 00:00:09,697
Soon after its foundation, four
pedagogies were established:

4
00:00:09,919 --> 00:00:12,880
the Pig, the Fortress, the Lily and the Falcon.

5
00:00:12,980 --> 00:00:15,808
Hi ladies, are you familiar with this building?

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,020
Yes, I studied here.
–Yeah, I have exams there sometimes.

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:20,528
What about the history of it?

8
00:00:21,171 --> 00:00:22,980
I know something.
– A little bit.

9
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:26,043
Did you know there were four pedagogies
scattered around Leuven?

10
00:00:26,143 --> 00:00:27,449
Can you name them?

11
00:00:27,549 --> 00:00:29,449
– This is one, so the Falcon.

12
00:00:29,549 --> 00:00:31,209
You have one of them.
– You have the Pig

13
00:00:31,309 --> 00:00:34,420
That's another one.
– The Lily and the Fortress.

14
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:35,951
That's all of them, you got it!

15
00:00:36,114 --> 00:00:37,505
At the University of Leuven colleges were

16
00:00:37,605 --> 00:00:40,612
originally buildings designed to house students.

17
00:00:40,712 --> 00:00:42,940
On the other hand, pedagogies were teaching institutions

18
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,852
where students attended classes for the Artes;
their general education.

19
00:00:47,401 --> 00:00:50,637
Today, college De Valk accommodates the Faculty of Law

20
00:00:50,801 --> 00:00:53,419
and houses one of the largest law libraries in Europe.

21
00:00:53,652 --> 00:00:55,942
It's the only remaining pedagogy in Leuven.

22
00:00:56,245 --> 00:00:57,900
Between the lines of De Valk's motto,

23
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,452
you can still read a little rivalry between the colleges:

24
00:01:00,697 --> 00:01:05,441
'<i>Volitat super omnia Falco</i>'; Latin for
'<i>the Falcon soars over everything</i>'.

25
00:01:05,674 --> 00:01:07,500
Law students are fortunate to study here,

26
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,857
I mean, have you seen how amazing this building is?
