I.V.V Maand'lijksche Borrel

Beloved Ladies, Gentlemen, GEWIS-members, mathematicians and computer scientists, Many students shall find this year’s academic dawn be tragically underwhelming and recognize that of which I will speak. For those who have never entered the university grounds until next Monday, allow me to elaborate on a tradition, for an academic community is intertwined with traditions and habits. One such traditions is to start the academic year with a tremendous festivity during which alcohol claims the Markthal as its dominion and reigns until morning light. Unfortunately, our Board of Directors has put a pitiful end to this delightful practise. This tragedy cannot be tolerated by Hèt Dispuut “In Vino Veritas”, therefore it is my absolute pleasure to announce that Hèt Dispuut will be opening the academic year properly on coming Tuesday the 11th of September. Additionally, this Maand’lijksche Borrel will initiate the lustwijnjaar of Hèt Dispuut, hence it will feature a traditionally excessive amount of bubbles. A remarkably attentive reader will notice that this is indeed not the first Tuesday of the academic year, which is correct and completely on purpose. The first week of any quartile cannot possibly be considered academic, with its syllabus introductions, logistical explanations and repetition of non-assumed but present pre-knowledge. Hoping to welcome all of you on September 11th, I remain, With appropriate regards, Dhr. Meijaard
Vice-Praeses der Dispuut “In Vino Veritas”
