History

HUJI was originally founded by a group of Zionists, inspired largely by Chaim Weizmann. The foundation stones of the school were laid on Mount Scopus in 1918; however, the university was not fully established until 1925. Prior to its official opening, Albert Einstein gave a lecture at HU in 1923. The original Board of Governors for the university included Chaim Weizmann, Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, Martin Buber, Chaim Nachman Bialik, Cyrus Adler, Yehuda Magnes, Ahad Ha'am, and Rabbi Avraham Kook. The gala opening of the university took place in 1925, along with the establishment of the Einstein Institute of Mathematics. Despite hardships throughout WWII and the Yom Kippur War of 1973, HUJI continued to grow and expand its faculties, campuses, and student enrollment over the years, reaching around 16,000 students in the 1980s and close to 23,000 by the mid-1990s.
