CZ: V parcíku na Studentském nádvorí stojí Pomník studentské legie - tzv. "Pražský student", který navrhl v roce 1847 Josef Max. Pomník vytvoril poté Maxuv žák Julius Melzer. Pomník byl vytvoren jako ocenení úcasti studentu na obranných bojích proti Švédum v roce 1648, ale soucasne i jako pripomínka 500. výrocí založení pražské univerzity. Události roku 1848 zabránily odhalení pomníku, proto byl na svoje místo umístený až 24. zárí 1863.
EN: In the park in the Student courtyard stands the Monument to the Student Legion - the so-called "Prague Student", designed by Josef Max in 1847. The monument was then created by Max's pupil Julius Melzer. The monument was created as an appreciation of the participation of students in defensive battles against the Swedes in 1648, but also as a commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the founding of the University of Prague. The events of 1848 prevented the unveiling of the monument.
