Partisag Frega

The Partisag Frega is amongst the oldest universities in the world. Records of Frega as a seat of learning can be found in the ancient writings of Marlask Krendask, who founded his school there in the 2nd Century BC due to the reputation of the city for its scholarship. The schools that grew up over the subsequent centuries were initally very diverse in attitude and design. Today, this can be seen in the architecture of the Collegus Maxa and Collegus Trexel, both of which are still institutes of learning and research today.

The university itself was founded by charter in 1212 by the Court of Frega to consoldate the schools and to enable the sharing of books in the many libraries. The new university library built during the mid-thirteenth century to hold these books was the also the site of the one of the first printing presses; the Frega Press is still in operation, although its focus on medical books is a more recent development.

The university saw a massive revival in the late 19th Century after independence as the number of students grew dramatically. The new schools founded in this period endured a degree of prejudice from scholars at the older institutions, although more recently it is the newer schools that are providing the Nobel Prize winners and celebrity academics.

Amongst the alumni of Frega are many illustrious names, a full list of which would run for many pages. In addition, the list of visiting scholars reads like a litany of the learned and distinguished of each century.

Traditionally, there is a rivalry between Frega and Tarpeket, primarily recently through the Incapartisag, an annual athletic festival that has run since 1520.
