Jean Calvin, theologian and leader of the Protestant reform in Geneva, conceived the Académie de Genève in 1559 as a theological and humanistic seminary. The 19th century saw the academy shed its ecclesiastic allegiance and upon the creation of a Faculty of medicine in 1873, it became a university.
