IPB University

The institute began as an agricultural school formed by the Dutch colonial regime in the early 20th century. After independence it was part of the University of Indonesia before becoming an independent institute on September 1, 1963. The first school in Bogor was established in 1876 under Rudolph Scheffer, under the name Landbouwschool te Buitenzorg (Agriculture School at Buitenzorg). New schools for different fields were opened in the following years for Native Indonesians. The institute started in the early 20th century as a veterinary medicine and agricultural school. Lovink argued that department officials in the Ministry of Agriculture "needed to familiarize themselves with Javanese farming practices." This allow IPB students to take more than one department field. ==Symbol and flags==
