The biggest project at the end of the life of the benefactor of the LU Foundation, Robert Ruš, was support for the creation of a book on the history of Latvia. The aim of the book is to provide the Latvian society with an objective – based on historical sources and academic research traditions – study of the student corporation “Lettonia”, whose members have been members of the Rūš family for four generations. This study will also provide an insight into the history of the common Latvian student corporations.

For the 150th anniversary of its lifetime organization, the Latvian Philistine Aid Society intended to publish an academic study of Latvian history. The authors of the collective monograph are academically educated historians, including employees of the Latvian Institute of History and the Faculty of History and Philosophy of the Latvian Academy of Sciences. The scientific editor of the monograph is historian, chief editor of the Latvian National Encyclopedia Valters Ščerbinskis. The book will have an English summary. The book is under construction.
