The Student Union of the Vrije Universiteit, together with the university’s alumni association, presented Kuyper with a commemorative stained-glass window on his eightieth birthday. They subsequently asked him to write a personal word to encourage the current students. Delightfully surprised by the request, Kuyper penned this contribution, which contains interesting points of autobiographical detail among the florid expressions of gratitude and thankfulness. Kuyper expresses his surprise, wonder, and joy that his bond with the Vrije Universiteit still exists sixteen years after his final lecture.

Published by the student union for the students and alumni of the Vrije Universiteit, the special publication that contains Kuyper’s contribution also includes the portrait of 1917.12, as well as a portrait dating from the period of Kuyper’s professorship. Preceeding Kuyper’s contribution to this beautifully produced publication is a sketch of Kuyper as an academic professor written by the Rev. T. Ferwerda. The publication is dedicated to Zijne Execellentie Dr. A. Kuyper oud-hoogleraar aan de Vrije Universiteit, eerelid van het Studentencorps “N.D.D.D.” [His Excellency Dr. A. Kuyper, former professor of the Vrije Universiteit, honorary member of the Student Association “N.D.D.D.” (Nil Desperandum Deo Duce)].

The remaining copies were sold for ƒ1.- by a student who had been specially elected for this task.
