===Women at the university=== The first woman to study in Lund was [[Hildegard Björck]] (spring of 1880) who had previously studied in [[Uppsala]] and had been the first Swedish woman ever to get an academic degree. Her tenure in Lund was however very brief and the medical student [[Hedda Andersson]] who entered the university later in 1880 (two years before the next woman to do so) is usually mentioned as the first woman at Lund University.<ref name=Andersson>[http://www.med.lu.se/plain/english/about_the_faculty/history_of_the_faculty/personalities_discoveries_and_innovations/hedda_andersson Lund University Medical Faculty] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151122134144/http://www.med.lu.se/plain/english/about_the_faculty/history_of_the_faculty/personalities_discoveries_and_innovations/hedda_andersson |date=2015-11-22 }} Hedda Andersson (1861-1950)</ref> Hilma Borelius was the first woman who finished a doctorate in Lund, in 1910. The first woman to be appointed to a professor's chair was the historian [[Birgitta Odén]] in 1965, though [[Carin Boalt]] was made a professor at the [[Faculty of Engineering (LTH), Lund University|Faculty of Engineering]], which at the time was a separate institution, in 1964. In 1992 [[Boel Flodgren]], Professor of Business Law, was appointed [[rector magnificus]] (or, strictly speaking, ''rectrix magnifica'') of Lund University. As such, she was the first woman to be the head of a European university.{{Citation needed|date=April 2010}}
