Exactly 91 years ago, the Technische Hoogeschool (TH) built by the Dutch colonialists was an institute that then became ITB. After several change of names, on the independence day, the school changed its name into University of Indonesia, which then divided itself into two; the University of Indonesia, for social studies, and the Bandung Institute of Technology, concentrating in scientific and engineering studies.
