„The spirit of Tartu“is felt here as it is the town of the oldest university (1632) and is also called the Athens of the Emajõgi.
The spirit is carried on by everybody who has been educated here.
There is a well-known mockery saying about Tallinn being the Capital but Tartu a town of „Capita“(head) indicating a rivalry between these towns. Now, of course, it is being laughed at.
