On December 8, Bulgarian university students celebrate their holiday for the 119th time now. The idea came from the Minister of Education Prof. Ivan Shishmanov, who in 1897 proposed that the first Higher School in Bulgaria should have "a more special holiday of its own", BTA recalls.
The decision was made on November 2, 1902, when at its meeting the Academic Council of the Higher School determined the day of the educator St. Kliment Ohridski - November 25 (December 8 according to the new style calendar), for its holiday. The following year, the students commemorated him in the hall of the Slavyanska beseda community center in Sofia, and in 1905, the text that November 25 is his patron saint's holiday was written for the first time in the Regulations of the Higher School.
