In 1932, when VMU celebrated its 10th birthday, it received a special gift from Latvian students: a bronze memorial plaque with a Latvian inscription: “Mūs vienuo kuopėjs gars un vienas asinis” (“We are united by common spirit and one blood”). Even though this plaque was lost during World War II, last autumn a lucky coincidence brought it back to its rightful place: to VMU.
