The State University of Leuven was founded by King William I of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1817 in Leuven. This continued the history of having a major university in Leuven, with the Old University of Leuven having been active from 1425 to 1797, and the State University used the same campus and facilities and a dozen of professors of the Old University taught there and have resumed the courses they had given in the venerable medieval Alma Mater, as :
Xavier Jacquelart, who was also a professor in the former University of Leuven
Jean Philippe Debruyn, of Louvain, licensed in both rights, born December 12, 1766, professor in the old University of Louvain since the year 1794
Guillaume Joseph van Gobbelschroy, of Louvain, born August 28, 1767, medical graduate, already before, since the year 1783, professor in the old university of Louvain
Joseph Josse Vandertaelen, extraordinary professor, born April 5, 1766, Tirlemont, medical graduate of the former University of Louvain where he was also a professor
Ferdinand Sentelet, of Overwinde-Landen, born on July 17, 1754, and died in Louvain on November 26, 1829, graduated in theology, former professor of philosophy at the Pédagogie du Lys and president of the college of Craenendonck, at the former University of Louvain
Jean-Baptiste Liebaert, from Messines, doctor at the Faculty of Arts of the former University of Louvain, born February 4, 1757
Étienne Heuschling, of Luxembourg, born in 1760, who had been professor of Hebrew in the old University of Louvain.
Belgium's independence from the Netherlands in 1830/31, plunged the universities into disorder. Attempting to prevent university education from being fragmented, the new government closed Leuven's faculties of law and natural science but backed down due to protests. A proposal to concentrate university education at Leuven was rejected by parliament on 4 August 1835. On 27 September 1835, the state university was officially closed, with most professors moving to the state universities of Ghent and Liège.
Meanwhile, the bishops of Belgium had founded in 1834 a new Catholic University at Mechelen. This provoked serious riots in the cities of Ghent, Leuven and Liège by liberals, who feared the Church encroaching on state education. After the State University had been closed, the Catholic University moved its headquarters to Leuven on 1 December 1835 and then took the name of Catholic University of Leuven, again leading to protests by liberals, particularly due to its efforts to usurp the heritage and identity of the historical Old University of Leuven.[1]

^Maurice Voituron, Le parti libéral joué par le parti catholique dans la question de l'enseignement supérieur, Bruxelles, 1850: "et alors aurait paru plus évidente encore aux yeux du pays l'intention du parti catholique de tuer l'enseignement de l'État, afin de ne laisser debout que l'Université catholique de Malines, qui allait prendre le titre d'Université de Louvain, pour y usurper la renommée de l'ancienne, ainsi que ses fondations de bourses. Cependant, malgré lui, le parti catholique laissa échapper cet espoir par la bouche de son rapporteur M. Dechamps, lorsqu'il disait: "la confiance entourera de telle façon les établissements privés que les Universités de l'État, par exemple, deviendront à peu près désertes".
