  The oldest part of the University Hall, called the Treaty of Utrecht Hall or Auditorium, was completed in 1462. Indeed, it was here that the Treaty of Utrecht was signed in 1579, an event that is generally viewed as marking the origin of the Dutch nation. The statue of Jan van Nassau, standing in front of the University Hall, serves as a reminder of this important occasion. Great relief on the wall of the main building of the University (a few metres away from the room, where the Union of Utrecht in 1579 came) with the image of a Hungarian student running from the Reformed Great Church of Debrecen to the Domtower in Utrecht, in memory of the many hundreds of students, which for centuries to the present day at Dutch universities have studied. Legend: “Sanguine Christi conglutinati sumus”,"By the blood of Christ, we are connected."
