This year, ELTE Trefort Ágoston Teacher Training High School celebrated the 150th anniversary of its foundation and adopted eight prints of great significance to the history of the school, which are preserved in the ELTE University Library and Archives.
When it was founded, the Trefort High School was called the „High School of the Royal Hungarian Teacher Training Institute”. Established in 1872, it was the first institution in Hungary to offer practical training to teacher candidates, and the first in Europe. One of the venues for the conference on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of secondary school teacher training was the Reading Hall of our library, which once housed the gymnasium for a few academic years.
In her welcome speech, Dr. Kulcsár Szabó Ernőné Gombos Annamária, Director General of the ELTE University Library and Archives, expressed her gratitude to Director Zoltán Csapodi for his generous support of the book adoption programme. This symbolic gesture also served as a kind of atonement for the inconveniences suffered by the library during the forced co-tenancy of almost 150 years ago, such as the autopsies performed for the teaching of natural history or the fire that once broke out in one of the classrooms. More fascinating details about the history of the library are available at Curiosities, rarities on our website.
The speakers of the session, Jr. Iván Bertényi (Collegium Hungaricum, Vienna) on the educational policy environment of Ágoston Trefort and the founding of the Teacher Training High School during the Dualism era, Dr. Imre Garai (ELTE Faculty of Pedagogy and Psychology) on the changes in the institutional system between the two world wars that shaped the secondary school teaching profession, and Dr. János Gombocz (Hungarian University of Physical Education and Sport Sciences) on the decades of teacher training after 1945.
During the conference, guests had the opportunity to visit the Director-General's Room and the Historical Old Bookstore, which is thought to have once served as some of the rooms of the teacher training college. In addition to the adopted volumes, our chamber exhibition included some special publications from the school's library and former school memorabilia preserved in the archives, such as the decree of the Minister of Education and Religious Affairs, Ágoston Trefort, on the establishment of the unified secondary school teachers' college, the first register of the school from 1874/1875, and the first school register from 1874/1875. The school's first register book from the 1874/1874 school year, a visitors' book from the 1877/1878 school year and the timetable for the 1882/1883 school year.
The two institutions remain committed to working together and to maintaining their partnership in the future.
Gábor Hevenesi was born in 1656 and entered the Jesuit order in 1671 in Sopron. He taught rhetoric and theology in Nagyszombat and later became rector of the Pazmaneum in Vienna.
Hevenesi was a colleague and advisor of the archbishop of Esztergom, Lipót Kollonich, and in 1686 he began collecting sources of Hungarian history on the archbishop’s behalf. He collected ninety-one volumes from copies of documents and certificates in archives and in private ownership. Most of the original documents have since been destroyed, so the value of the manuscript collection is inestimable. In the course of his literary activity, he published more than thirty books, one of the most significant of which is a collection of biographies written about Hungarian saints. In addition to his ecclesiastical works, he also contributed to the first atlas of Hungary. His manuscript collection is preserved in our library.
