Abstract
In the summer of 1968 the University of Lund celebrated its tricentennial. The halls of learning that had been created three hundred years ago in order ideologically to connect a former Danish province to Sweden were surrounded one summer day by three hundred policemen. They had cordoned off the small town from its green agricultural landscape. There were helicopters buzzing in the air. The authorities feared a student uprising. Although students were officially on holiday, large numbers of them together with their teachers and other anti-imperialist minded academics were converging on Lund’s cafes, bookstores and student hostels. Anti-authoritarian and anti-imperialist manifestations were taking place. Their focal point was Lundagård, the park between the old cathedral and the tower-house where the Department of Philosophy is located.
