It was Thorbecke himself who, in 1871 in a letter to Mr Jacobs, announced that he agreed to allow his daughter Aletta to be the first woman to enrol at the University of Groningen. On 20 April of that year, Aletta Jacobs was the first woman in the Netherlands to register as a regular student at a university. On 20 April 2021, 150 years later, the UG will honour Aletta Jacobs by celebrating the start of the Aletta Year.
Jacobs initially received permission to study at the university for a one-year trial period. On his deathbed, however, Thorbecke also gave Jacobs permission to sit exams. In 1877 and 1878 she successfully passed her state examinations, becoming the first female doctor in the Netherlands. After obtaining her doctorate in 1879, she started working as a general practitioner in Amsterdam. With these achievements, Jacobs was the first woman in the Netherlands to complete a full academic degree at a Dutch university.

The Foggy Bottom Association is piecing together a yearslong project documenting the history of Foggy Bottom.
FBA President John George said the project will feature a website that includes interactive maps, a blog for short stories about Foggy Bottom’s history and links to historical information to celebrate the neighborhood’s history. He said he hopes the Foggy Bottom community will learn from the neighborhood’s history to be “mindful” of future changes to the neighborhood, like building demolitions.
