The University of Latvia (UL) has stood and evolved for a hundred of years, enrolling ever new aspiring students. But one thing has endured throughout the times – almost everyone in the UL family knows three profound myths that linger in the halls of the faculties. Students who really want to graduate from the University must not ascend or descend the central stairs of UL main entrance. The myth of stairs in student circles has been around for a very long time, and everyone in the UL family knows about it. Legend has it that a student who climbs the central staircase entering the main building of the University of Latvia, Raiņa bulvāris 19, will never graduate from this university and receive its diploma. Reasons can be various – failed exam, forgetfulness, laziness or other coincidences of life. On the eve of the Alma Mater centenary, we asked the specialists at the University of Latvia Museum why these epic stairs have gained the notoriety. We found that the story came about

They unanimously decided to forgo a grand celebration, but instead to support the most talented students of the University of Latvia (UL) and Riga Technical University (RTU) . In 2018, the couple set up the Galenieks Family Scholarship in collaboration with the American-Latvian Foundation “Friends of the University of Latvia” and the UL Foundation. Valija and Modris Galenieks emphasize: “In today's era of technology, education is decisive in personal lives, as well as for Latvia's future in order to compete with other countries worldwide.” One of the recipients of the first scholarship

as expanded the open-air collections integrated in the former manor park. The garden was open for visitors as well as accommodated educational functions for the UL students of natural sciences. The garden also provided grounds for active scientific research, such as studying moss, flowering plants, fossil flora, heredity, systematisation, etc. In the Soviet times, the garden’s scope of expertise widened – all the USSR botanical gardens had to introduce new decoratively significant or useful species; the garden also had to explore possibilities of growing various wild plants or species that were foreign to Latvia. Therefore, various collections were introduced in the Botanical Garden: apricot, peach, dahlia, perennial plants, rhododendron and others. In the last years, the garden has turned to the local flora and, consequently, has created its Marsh Plant Exhibition as well as the Lichen and Moss Trail. Hortus Botanicus Universitatis Latviensis – 90 will be open for visitors in May and June
