Description: A commentary on the institutions of universities and of `higher learning'. Here a professor (thought to be William Fisher, Registrar of Oxford) is delivering one of his lectures entitled `Datur Vacuum'. Surrounding him are his students who exhibit a myriad of responses to the lecture. Indifference, boredom, scorn, amazement, skepticism, incredulity and drowiness are all portrayed. Every reaction is there except genuine interest. Other Titles - The Lecture Other Titles - Company of doctors students.
