Issued in 1964, this pair of commemorative stamps celebrates the 10th anniversary of Lovanium University (1954–1964), one of Central Africa’s most important centers of higher education. The 50c value depicts a Congolese scientist engaged in laboratory research, symbolizing the nation’s commitment to scientific advancement and higher learning. The 1.50f value illustrates the university’s modern architecture in Léopoldville (now Kinshasa), reflecting progress and development in post-independence Congo. Both stamps were printed by Joh. Enschedé of the Netherlands and designed by J. Van Noten, combining technical precision with educational pride.
