The jurist Irnerius teaching at the University of Bologna, c. 1100. The student appears to be confused or disappointed. Too much reading, likely.
Universities were originally created through imperial charters for the explicit purpose of studying the law (and theology). Students organized to negotiate privileges from towns and the Emperor for:
fair rent for rooms
forcing the lecturers to stick to the syllabus
mandating attendance (of professors!)
requiring a licentia docendi—a 'license to teach'
Conditions may or may not have improved since then.
