which claims the distinction of 

 being the first, university in which 

 anatomy was taught and where a 

 woman was permitted to lecture 

 though she was constrained to 

 stand behind a curtain while de- 

 livering her lecture. A visit to 

 this old university of the 12th cen-

 walls and ceilings are decorated 

 with frescoes by the old masters

 This museum contains the rare col-

 arranged as to present a most at- 

 tractive and valuable collection. 

 About 600 students of medicine and 

 1100 students of art and literature 

 are in attendance.
