Groninger Studentencorps Vindicat atque Polit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Groninger Studenten Corps Vindicat atque Polit (Latin for Vindicate and Polish) is the oldest Dutch student association and was founded on February the 4th, 1815 as a reaction on attacks from local citizens on students. The first rector of the senate was B.J. Winter. Nowadays Vindicat is the largest student organization in Groningen, a city in the North of The Netherlands, with nearly 2500 members. Vindicat's Society building is located in the heart of Groningen and is called Mutua Fides (Mutual Trust or Confidence) and plays a large role in the social-life of its members. Vindicat is also home to numerous cultural and sport sub-organizations. In 2005, Vindicat celebrated its 190th anniversary with its 38th lustrum festival.
In 2005, a copy of Mutua Fides on a scale of 1:25 was built in the miniature city Madurodam.
