It was founded by the province of Guelders (Gelre).Some well-known graduates of the University of Harderwijk areartist Romeyn de Hoogheexplorer Jacob Roggeveen (1690)physician Herman Boerhaave (1693)Swedish scientist Carl Linnaeus (1735)statesman Herman Willem Daendels (1783)poet A.C.W. Staring (1787)The university of Harderwijk didn't have a good reputation, because of its low standards. Nevertheless, it attracted many students with its low fees. Many students went to Harderwijk to graduate. In Samuel Johnson's Life of Herman Boerhaave, it says:\"He went to Hardewich, in order to take the degree of doctor in physick, which he obtained in July, 1693, having performed a publick disputation, \"de utilitate explorandorum excrementorum in ægris, ut signorum.\"The title of this Latin disputation in English is \"On the usefulness of examination of excrement as a sign of disease\". The most famous foreign graduate, Linnaeus, stayed only a week, much of which time was spent printing his dissertation. The saying was that rich students could afford Leiden University and the poorer ones had to make do with Harderwijk. In many European cities, it was not possible to get a doctor's degree, and the Netherlands had a reputation for producing very good doctors.David de Gorter is a great example of such a doctor. He was a professor at the University of Harderwijk and friends with Linnaeus. He also was a royal physician to Empress Elizabeth of RussiaThe university was closed in 1811 during the French occupation. Later, king William I tried to re-establish the university, without success.A saying in the Netherlands for a person whose scientific knowledge is questionable is \"he's from the University of Harderwijk\"."@en }
