A personal letter to J. Kraus (1861–1951), director of the Polytechnische School in Delft. After the new Higher Education Act was passed thanks to Kuyper’s initiative on May 22, 1905, the Polytechnische School was elevated to collegiate status. In this letter Kuyper reports that it has become impossible for him to attend the ceremonial opening of the Technische Hoogeschool on July 10, 1905. The shameful way in which the opposition had treated him during the elections of June 1905 had compromised his ability to make public appearances, at which nothing could be said about this vile aspect of his political defeat. The queen, who would be present, had approved his decision not to take part in the opening.

On January 8, 1907, the Technische Hoogeschool awarded an honorary doctorate in applied sciences to Kuyper.
