French slogan of may storm

First of all, there is no such thing as Sorbonne University. There is only the University of Paris in history, and there is no Sorbonne University. The term Sorbonne University will not be used with Université. The word Sorbonne comes from Robert de Sorbonne, the former founder of Sorbonne College of Paris University. Sorbonne is the name of a town in northern Paris.

Sorbonne refers to a series of ancient buildings located in the Latin quarter of Paris today. They used to be the seat of Paris University before the split of 1970, and now they are mainly composed of Paris I (Panthé on-Sorbonne University), Paris III (New Sorbonne University), Paris IV (Paris-Sorbonne University) and Paris V (Descartes University). These ancient buildings were mainly built in two periods, including La Chapelle, the landmark building of Sorbonne University (which houses Li Sailiu's coffin, but because revolutionaries in the French Revolution once pulled out and criticized Li Sailiu's coffin stored in the catacombs of Sorbonne University at that time, his bones were actually separated later, but it is said that his head was later found and brought back to be stored here. No one knows if it is Li Sailiu himself. Part of it was built under the auspices of Bishop Li Sailiu in the 13th period of Louis, and the other part was built during the Paris World Expo at the end of 19 to show the world the positive features of the people of Paris and France. This is the same age as the Eiffel Tower. At that time, Paris University was divided into humanities college, natural science college, law school, medical college and pharmacy college.

1968 After the May storm, the University of Paris split into 13 universities in 1970, and from the University of Paris I to the University of Paris XIII. On the site, Paris I got the site of the original law school, Paris IV got the site of the original school and the Academy of Natural Sciences (Sorbonne Church is located here), and Paris V got the site of the medical school and pharmacy school (I don't know which site Paris III got, but I have the impression that Paris III only has a modern campus, welcome to add); In terms of disciplines, the school of humanities is mainly inherited by Paris I and Paris IV, the school of natural sciences is mainly inherited by Paris VI (Pierre Marie Curie University) and Paris VII (Diderot University), the school of law is mainly inherited by Paris II (Pantion-assas University), and medicine and pharmacy are mainly inherited by Paris V; In terms of appellation, all three universities have the word Sorbonne in their names, but they are not used alone. They are University of Paris I (Panthé on-Sorbonne), University of Paris III (Sorbonne-New University) and University of Paris IV (Paris-Sorbonne University).

In addition, there are many university alliances with the word Sorbonne in Paris, mainly Sorbonne University (Paris IV, Paris VI and many universities or research institutions). Paris Sorbonne University (Paris III, Paris V, Paris VII and Paris XIII are also known as Paris North University and some big schools and research institutions) and Paris Institute of Advanced Arts (Paris I and some big schools and research institutions, Paris I left the alliance in 20 16). In addition, at the beginning of 20 17, the University of Paris IV and the University of Paris VI announced that they would merge into a university named Sorbonne University.

Another meaning of the word Sorbonne is its spiritual meaning, especially its left-wing rebellious spirit, so Sorbonne is also a symbol of this left-wing rebellious spirit. These ancient buildings have been the center of many social and political movements, including the famous May storm in 1968, when roadblocks were set up around Sorbonne, and students, teachers and other intellectuals who believed in left-wing ideas fought against the police of Charles de Gaulle's right-wing zf.

So, in a word, it is meaningless to argue about which university is the real "Sorbonne University".
