History

The Arrhenius Laboratory at the main campus of Stockholm University at Frescati.

In 1878, the university college Stockholm högskola started its operations with a series of lectures on natural sciences, open to curious citizens (a tradition still upheld by yearly publicly open lectures). Notable in the university's early history is the appointment of Sofia Kovalevskaya to hold a chair in mathematics in 1889, making her the third female professor in Europe. In 1904 the college became an official degree granting institution. Image File history File links Description: Arrheniuslaboratoriet, Stockholms universitet Stockholm, Sweden. ...
