Eperjes (Presov), the Athens on the river Tarca

The town was founded by King Béla II. (the Blind) in 1132, Germans were settled by King Géza II., was enclosed with walls by King Károly Róbert in 1312, raised to the privileged royal free boroughs by King Ulászló II. In 1514. she was devastated by wars and conflagrations, and the vehmic court of Eperjes was one of the most brutal events of the counter-reformation in Hungary. It was only King József II. (1780-1790) who set an end to the persecution of the Protestants. Then Presov begins to flurish, becomes a centre of commerce towards Poland. The Slovac Republic of Soviet type was anounced in Eperjes 26. June 1919.

Among the professors of the Lutheran College in Eperjes, there were outstanding personalities. The theological, philosophical and scientific activity of János Bayer and Izsák Czabán preceded the way of thinking of their environment with centuries. Eminent students were: István Gyöngyösi, Ferenc Kazinczy, Lajos Kossuth, br. Ferenc Nyáry, Pál Országh-Hviezdoslav, Tamás Péchy, br. István Petróczy, br. Miklós Petróczy, br. Ferenc Pongrácz, Ferenc Pulszky, József Székács, ct. Imre Thököly, Mihály Tompa, Pál Wittnyédi.

According to the prescriptions of the peace treaty of Trianon, the town became a part of the State Czechoslovakia. The Czechoslovak educational referent Stefanek, as representative of the government , signalized their support of the moving of the schools to Hungary, to ensure the determining Slovak-language character of the education, being the programme of the new state. Therefore the Academy of Law settled over to Miskolc immediately, as the Teacher's Training School came to Miskolc, too. Trains started in these times every hour from Eperjes to Hungary. The last final exam in Hungarian language was held in the College of Presov in June. 1926. The professor of the Academy of Law, János Flórián, and János Gömöry did not leave Presov, and managed to realize that the Presov elementary school could function, as the only Hungarian language school in that time.
