Just like the Faculty of Sciences, Istanbul University Faculty of Letters started its academic operation in the Zeynep Hanım Mansion in 1933, and from 1952 up to this day has continued in its own building. Mostly renowned for the boycotts held in 1968, the Faculty of Letters had been occupied by Grey Wolves between 1974 and 1978. As it happened in the Faculty of Law before, students of the Faculty of Letters stood against the attacks by commuting together and broke the occupation in 1978. Yet, clashes went on between the Grey Wolves and Revolutionaries starting from the beginning of the 1980s.
