The value of medieval universities depended heavily on securing excellent professors.

In today’s society, where there is an abundance of candidates with doctoral degrees, securing exceptional professors does not always directly correlate with the university’s level.

Even prestigious universities like the University of Bologna and the University of Paris, often regarded as medieval Harvards, had periods when they lacked competent professors, especially outside theology and law.

"Back in the medieval era, a university with many good professors was considered prestigious, right?"

“To gather competent staff, one needs to spend money, and to create a prestigious university, it’s essential to recruit the best professors.”@@novelbin@@

Faculties like law and theology, which were common everywhere, would see a flood of applicants if a lot of money were offered.

Similarly, craftsmen and alchemists, who would serve as professors in technical faculties dedicated to advancing technologies and crafts, would be attracted by money.

If money can make even ghosts dance, professors wouldn’t be a problem.

“If something can’t be solved with money, it’s solved by bringing in even more money.”

The voice of the coachman broke my thoughts.

"We've arrived, Baron. This is the Conto family's mansion."

"Wait here for a moment. It’s cold, so feel free to stay in the carriage and avoid the wind. I’ll light the stove inside to warm it up."

In other families, even in the coldest of winters, the coachmen wouldn’t be offered such a luxury. They’d be told to wait outside, regardless.
