History
In 1891 Tomas Garrigue Masaryk introduces a motion at the Imperial Council in Vienna calling for the establishment of a second Czech university in Moravia. Twenty years later, he submits a petition to the Council in support of the founding of a university in Brno.
An act unanimously adopted on 28 January 1919 approves the establishment of the university in Brno with its four founding faculties.
