Student Society Liivika (Estonian: ÜS Liivika) is an Estonian student society. Established on April 21, 1909 in Riga, Latvia, mostly by former members of student corporation Vironia. The original name was Estonian Students' Society of Riga (Estonian: Riia Eesti Üliõpilaste Selts), but was changed when it moved to Tartu after World War I. The society's motto is "Ex solo ad solem soli patriae", which means "Up from the Soil to the Sun for the benefit of Homeland".[1]
