...documents proved so interesting when translated that I shall let it speak for itself. It was written evidently by thoughtful students in the university, each setting forth his ideas about another student, who usually symbolized a large class. The whole group was then collected by a third student, with comment of his own. The first part, for example was written by Aquinca against Batando. In the second, Batando expresses his views about Aquinca. Then Caviton, a satellite of Aquinca, retaliates with a further attack on Batando, and others in turn take up the cry.
