UM SENDS LAST TELEGRAPHS IN HUNGARY. STOP.

Telegraph services have ended in Hungary due to low demand, after carrying countless joyful and sorrowful messages since the mid-1800s. Before the service ceased, UM and the Postal Service jointly sent nearly a hundred telegrams to ministries, partner institutions, leading business partners, and other organisations in commemoration of the role the telegraph played. Prof. Zita Horváth remarked that this university played a role in the first telegrams sent, and it was thus an honour to be the one to send the last telegrams.
